This scent keeps insects away: 3 lavender fragrances for summer

Lavender is not only one of perfumery's most popular fragrance notes, but it is also traditionally considered a natural remedy for repelling mosquitoes and other insects – its intense scent is perceived as unpleasant by many insects. While this does not guarantee scientific protection against insect bites, those sitting outdoors on mild summer evenings are happy to choose a fragrance that includes lavender in its composition. Here are three fragrances from our range that offer exactly that:

1. Oud Lavender – Ahmed al Maghribi

Oud Lavender opens with top notes of hyacinth, lavender, and fruits – fresh yet floral. In the heart, pink pepper, iris, and jasmine unfold, before the base provides depth with vetiver, amber, oud, and musk. Currently in stock.

2. Xtasy – Ahmed al Maghribi

Xtasy combines Turkish rose, lavender, lemon, and peony in the top note for a fresh-floral opening. In the heart, sandalwood, white flowers, and frankincense meet, with oud, guaiac wood, and musk rounding off the base. Also currently in stock.

3. REEF Volcano

REEF Volcano starts with grapefruit, cardamom, and cypress, before lavender, together with leather and patchouli, defines the heart note. Labdanum, tonka bean, and cedarwood form the warm base. The fragrance is currently sold out – but definitely worth a look when it's back in stock.

Whether on the beach, on the terrace, or in the garden: lavender fragrances accompany balmy summer evenings outdoors in a particularly atmospheric way. You can find more fragrances for summer in our entire collection.
