Acca Kappa Blue Lavender ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 7 June 2010 10 Comments

Acca Kappa Blue Lavender

Acca Kappa has launched Blue Lavender:

A collection naturally scented with the fresh and delicate fragrance of lavender, evoking images of fields of blue, gently swaying to the rythm [sic] of a warm Mediterranean summer breeze.

Additional notes include incense, mint, pink pepper and rosemary.

Acca Kappa Blue Lavender is available in 100 ml Eau de Cologne, $58, and in a variety of bath & body products. (via shopaccakappa.com)

    Wish lavender liked me. This seems like it would be more like “fields of headache” for me personally, and I’m a bit jealous of people who do well with lavender.

      I did terribly with all things lavender, too. You should smell Reverie au Jardin on my skin – absolutely revolting, though I like the way it smells after its been lingering in the cap of the bottle.

      That being said, I recently received a bottle of Caron’s Pour Un Homme, had dismissed it for a few weeks, but was in need of a good room spray after cooking some chili. The cologne smelled so wonderful in the air, so I tried it on skin and – voila – it worked! This likely due to the fact that the lavender, instead of being medicinal and herbaceous, becomes softer, wrapped in a less-sweet vanilla.

      That being said, however, it doesn’t mean I hold much hope for other lavenders, but does give me a little more optimism – at least enough to try one out, instead of automatically dismissing it.

        I am beginning to think that with specific notes it might be a case of “never say never”. Changed my mind about vetiver and might well one day with lavender.

    I do well with lavender but prefer it more as an ambient scent, or as a bath product rather than for daily wear as a soliflore. I wonder where this line is available?

      Maggie I agree with you. Bath products and ambient scents are lovely with lavender, but I wonder if this is not the same effect that happened with citrus.. I mean after you smell something on an ambient scent on bath product it becomes (at least in my opinion) mainstream and “just avaialble everywhere”

      I don´t think I’ll come across this in the near future (getting the Akka Kappa Cedar here in Argentina ammounted to an operation worthy of a Mission Impossible episode) and I liked it… but I am not willing to do the same for lavender. 😀

      They do sell online…and I’ve fixed the link (which I had entered incorrectly the first time).

    Ooooo I love all things lavender: lavender flowers, fragrance, soap, sachets, linen spray, chocolate, you name it. I’m on the quest to try all varieties and versions. Will add this one to my list!

    I really like their products. There is still, I think, a very small store in the grand canal shoppes at The Venetian. I liked their cedar scented products and I will give anything that’s lavender a try.
