Thread: LAVANDA eau de Cologne Arrived today!

And here it is...The Aqua Lavanda Puig, that is.

Agua Lavanda Puig Splash - Frank Sinatra Bathed in This - Huge Bottle

i always see this stuff in the SOTD thread and i have to say.. i am always kind of attracted to it.. it just looks like classy stuff.

give it a solid week of use before deciding whether to keep using it or not.

Hello, Jhenry:

Thanks for providing the link to the splash. Don't forget, that's not the cologne. The cologne comes in a standard cologne glass bottle. I have both and like them. Nice and refreshing.

Regards,
Obie

Thanks for the clarification Obie....

And where, might I ask, did you obtain the cologne?

Scent must be one of the most subjective topics - smells like Brut to one, but completely different to another.

Such is the folly of buying colognes/aftershaves/soaps/creams online, as most of us do not have the benefit of sampling before buying. How many of us have pressed the BUY button based on nothing but word of mouth, a vague description and a picture of a fancy bottle?

BTW - I'm guilty of it, too

yeah.. i havn't done it.. but i drool over fancy packaging all the time.. just like people eat with their eyes.. i shop with mine.

Pity they quit making their Lavanda cream. It's nearly as sought after as Proraso Red and Noxzema now.

Hello, jhenry:

The Spanish site La Tienda carries it regularly, but they are out of stock until October, which does not help us here.
LaTienda.com - Cologne from Spain including Lavanda, Heno de Pravia, more

The Soap Bar no longer has it. JBK Trading had it, if I remember, but now they have only the after bath splash. I must have bought it from one of these sites. It is hard to get. Some sites, when you click on Agua Lavanda, pull up Agua Brava, also by the house of Puig, but it's not the same.

It's a tough one, but it's good stuff. I have not looked at my review lately, where I might have mentioned the site.

* Edit: Firstperfume.com is out of stock, too. As I said, the stuff is hard to get. On double checking, I bought mine from JBK Trading, which no longer has it. I surrender.

Obie

Obie, I've seen that cologne and aftershave all over the Internet when I searched for the Lavanda. It shouldn't be hard to come across a site where you can order it. Actually it frustrated me that there were so many sites to order that one and not the one I wanted.

Hello, komjong:

I know what you mean by such frustration. Why the shortage of this pleasant cologne? Obviously economic reason is lurking in the shadows. It always does in this age.
