I really cannot add anything to Serenissimos’ review, that was a perfect and beautiful description. Even the name “golden lavender” is a perfect (if much shorter) description. Anna Zworikyna is a master that paints with a different palette than what’s used for regular niche and designer fragrances. To me, they often feel like somebody has been trying to draw a landscape with children’s markers- the lines are too sharp, the colours too jarring. With Zworykina’s perfumes, I’m standing in the golden field myself, with rich nuanced colours that glow from within.
Golden lavender is on my shopping list, but as I am now leaving Russian with 6 of her perfumes, it will have to wait.
Edit Sept. 2, 2016
Just got my bottle, and in the cooler fall weather the notes separate more an the lavender makes itself heard better. Still a soft, warm cozy blend, but I can distinguish cinnamon, vanilla and ylang. Zworykina really has a way with ylang- it fits perfectly in the golden theme, not sour and screechy like it so often ends up with other perfumers.

First of all I have to admit I like Anna’s Silver Lavender better – golden lavender is more amorphous, all of warmth and golden glow. But if warmth and shine is what you seek, don’t go any further!
A remedy against the winter gloom, it starts sweet and fluffy, with golden dust and sunrays and reminds me of Jicky without civet. I’m absolutely unable to identify separately any ingredient – it is a perfectly calibrated blend. Well, I fill there is lavender and lemon, rose and probably ylang but cannot tell when ends one and starts another. It flows, it wispers, lulls and murmurs: sssummer, sssun, ressst, peacccce, breathhhh, – sweet and dry and enjoyable. Remember the feeling when you lie in the evening sun and half-falling into sleep, when your eyesight is blurred a little and if you open your eyes all you see first is some golden mist/net, but you are not afraid because you know your vision is okay and the world around you is okay and it’s just you falling asleep. Have you recalled such a memory? – That is exactly what Golden Lavender is about, and what it feels!
