For decades, the monks of Caldey Abbey sold their famed Island Lavender to travelers, rarely exporting it off the island, and then only at considerable expense. The stuff of summer winds and cool evenings, of crickets and peepers and bluish gloom on sheer cliffs at sunset, it has been described by many a perfume critic and fragrance lover as the greatest lavender fragrance ever made.
Some years ago, Barrister and Mann, fearing that the rarity of this masterpiece would doom it to anonymity, acquired several bottles in order to archive and preserve it and to present it for audiences beyond the shores of Caldey Island. During COVID, the original was reformulated (and even left production for a time), rendered a shadow of its former self. And so we came to stand alone, the last archive of greatest lavender fragrance in history.
To those who have smelled it, our Lavender is identical to the original, flawlessly re-created in every detail. It’s fascinatingly smooth and effortlessly cool, the kind of “blue” lavender fragrance that folks love for the rest of their lives. Try some and see what the fuss is about. You won’t regret it.
