Caldey Island's Island Lavender Water was developed by Flemish perfumer Hugo Collumbien. Luca Turin says in his book ” Perfumes: The Guide' by Luca Turin & Tania Sanchez; “ its gently handled linalool, lavender's 10-carbon alcohol, results in endlessly blue daylight air. It reminds me of Vermeer's use of the precious pigment ultramarine, made from lapis lazuli and traditionally reserved for the Virgin Mary's robe, on the apron of a servant pouring milk. A blessing for the daily round and common task.” High praise indeed.
A delightfully clear lavender with a musk underscore.
