    smells like a room spray.. its hard to make a sophisticated lavender heavy perfume and tom ford has failed at it.

    Aromatic – tropical – citrus floral
    Color impression: ivory
    I’m so impressed how this tycoon milky lavender reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface 1983. Lavender Palm is a simple combination of precisely cropped French lavender and clary sage married to resinous woody base. This marvelous feminine-Caron-Pour-un-Homme has a blast of tropical tanning oil that brings a frenzy of delight to its aromatic grassy top. It’s feminine, sumptuous, comfortable and extremely casual. But not a typical one, being casual while reclining on a lounger by pool of a millionaire resort hotel in Cannes.

    Wow… I haven’t had such a difference between two bottles of the same fragrance before!
    I originally bought a genuine brand new sealed bottle and wasn’t overly impressed. I found the fragrance to be a ‘dirty’ lavender which became increasingly oily as the notes progressed. The bright opening I had expected from the bergamot and lemon notes was nowhere to be seen. I persevered with the fragrance, but it just didn’t sit right with me so I sold it on.
    The other day I was offered an excellent bargain on another bottle. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give Lavender Palm another chance as it was that good of a deal.
    As soon as I sprayed I was hit with a wonderful bright citrus which overlapped a smooth lavender. The lavender becomes stronger as the notes develop, but this is a fantastic natural lavender rather than the dirty lavender I had previously experienced. After more time, the pink pepper joins the party and brings a slight spiciness as its plus-one. I now also notice a slight ‘sunscreen’ vibe which I find incredibly relaxing. Moving forward, I detect the clary sage and a sweeter lavender. This is how the fragrance remains as it dries down to a calming yet long lasting skin scent.
    I am so glad I gave this fragrance another chance as my original bottle must have been from another batch. I can assure you that this bottle will be a permanent fixture in my rotation.
    A truly delightful fragrance <“,))>< …

    Hiya! I have a open 50ml bottle which is up for swaps. AUSTRALIA

    I have a sample of this and reading the reviews here I do wonder if my sample has ‘turned’. On me this smelled very masculine and had a strange curry smell to it that I found very unappealing – it was definitely a scrubber.

    An unexpected scent…
    I really had no idea what to think about this scent from the mixed reviews. I’ve been offered bottles in swaps, but never really felt brave enough to just “go for it”. However, a friend I have done many trades with had it, and I figured it was time to test those particular waters.
    I have been testing this today, and whereas I previously had assumed this would be either going into my swap or sales pile, I am convinced I will be keeping this particular brew! I am not a fan of “barbershop” scents for myself. I admire other women who can pull it off, but I just can’t. But I do love lavender, and have not had any luck with lavender in a scent that doesn’t lean dramatically masculine as well as screams “I just had a shave and a haircut!” – but then this strange and unusual combination of elements comes together and all of a sudden, here is a lavender perfectly suited for women!
    It can be described as a salty (I know, weird, right?), and yet creamy lavender – yea, I know…doesn’t make sense. Here is something to add to the nonsensical description – I am reminded of the beach on a cool day. I know, you think I’m losing my mind. And whereas everyone talks about this being “California” I think about the mid-Atlantic beaches I have loved all of my life. This is (dare I say it?) the aquatic I have been searching for! How can this be??? I do not comprehend how these notes that I can truly pick out, combine to bring me a clear vision of a mid-Atlantic beach on a cool day! How seriously bizarre and wonderful!

    Oh Lavender Palm! I love it! It’s such a lovely smell! One of the loveliest smells I’ve ever smelled. So feminine and soft; creamy lavender, beautiful. Just beautiful!!!
    And I loooove the precious bottle – so lovely and such a glorious colour!

    Just received my samples of Lavender Palm. After feeling the need to add a good ‘cozy’ lavender perfume to my collection, I had to try this being another HUGE Tom Ford fan (I have tried every single private blend now) and I also tried Aberdeen lavender by Creed
    Well this a more a male focused unisex scent in my opinion and I must admit the Creed wins hands down both in longevity, performance and personal preference. (I’m female) The AL is softened with leather and I love it because I knew that straight lavender wasn’t what I wanted but had no idea what it would blend well with. Vanilla? No. Tonka bean? No
    Leather? YES, YES, YES, the combination is stunning and I’m fully addicted to it. :))))
    In saying all that, I do think that this would be divine on a ‘mature’ man but can’t see younger guys wanting to use this but I could be mistaken!
    Sadly, it’s not on my ‘want’ list but very glad I did get to try it.
    I also rate this at 6 out of 10 as do several reviewers below.
    Not bad Mr Ford! Keep them coming!!!!!!

    A lovely, sunny, happy and elegant interpretation of lavender in my opinion; this is a fresh spicy yet smooth and creamy fragrance with lavender in the middle of a bouquet of soft flowers and subtle citruses on a velvety musky base that ensures good lasting power.

    I had to sample this at some point, because I’m a big fan of the Private Blends line.
    This one smells really nice. Unisex but leaning toward feminine I’d say. It smells, to me, like luxurious sunscreen. It has a sunscreen vibe to it–but not in a cheesy typical manner. But in that, at least to me, it has a white-floral-lotion vibe with lavender as its main focus.
    Not full bottle worthy in my personal opinion, but isn’t it a unicorn now anyway? –dodged that bullet, i suppose. Still, a great performing scent that lasts a good 6+ hours for me. Glad I tried it, look forward to trying more Private Blends. I’ll give this 6/10 because it is certainly unique, and it performs well.

    Dark, creamy, oily, animalic, lavender. A masterpiece really. I already own a lavender. But this is nice to have in the arsenal when I want a different lavender. I smell sage too.

    Tom Ford’s Lavender Palm, one of the many discontinued Private Blends, actually smells very much like its name—a mixture of lavender and the palm leaf (though I’m not in a part of the US where palm trees grow, their smell is nonetheless familiar from Palm Sunday). In that respect, it’s fresh, unisex, and oddly creamy. It’s versatile enough to work in cold weather, but I imagine it shines mostly in warm weather, where its potency is best expressed. I don’t get much citrus at the opening but I do get some other flowers in the middle, in addition to lavender. Longevity and projection are decent, even with the Private Blend cost and status in mind.
    A pleasant warm weather-friendly member of the Private Blend family, Lavender Palm is not one I’ll be reaching for much, nor would I spring for a rare bottle, but it’s an interesting facet of the collection.

    An amazingly refreshing lavender, backed by touches of citrus- unlike the stiffer, nearly fake-smelling lavenders I’ve encountered elsewhere. It’s lightly floral and very smooth. Easy to wear, and can be worn just about anywhere.

    My favorite lavender! I don’t get axe body spray at all; thats disrespectful. I get a very realistic, herbal, lavender. The lavender is dirty, sweaty, yet creamy. Smells a lot like malted milk.

    Lavender Palm confuses me. There are notes of wealth and luxury but somehow… also… Axe body spray?!? And my nose goes back and forth between reading it as feminine or masculine. I just don’t know what to think! It’s lovely…. Sort of!

    The lavender palm is quite unique : it has a weird combination of aromatic, sweet , fresh and creamy. It is still lavender but twisted in a very different way ; it is a warm creamy lavender, not the usual metallic lavender which i associate with masculine barbershop aroma. I am so sad that this beauty is discontinued… The sillage and longevity are amazing

    A couple of months ago I posted on the boards here a request for spicy lavender fragrances that might be close the scent of my treasured Dream Cream by LUSH. I received a lot of nice suggestions and ordered several samples but they did not put forth the sweet, aromatic and spicy lavender I sought. I gave up until I discovered TF’s Lavender Palm.
    Now, Tom Ford and I don’t always get along. There is really only one other fragrance of his I like, and I actually LOVE it with a passion: Champaca Absolute. So I was a bit reticent about a blind buy from ebay of this discontinued fragrance.
    I am so very glad I threw caution to the wind and bought it! I wasn’t sure of it at first application; I thought I detected that dreaded sour quality that so many fragrances containing citrus notes have. It is there, yes, but only for the first 10 minutes. Then it settles into the delightful lavender that I have been on quest for for so long.
    It is a little spicy and really not all that sweet; aromatic and refreshing. For me it is not the least bit salty and I am not reminded of California by it; I wonder if those who are reminded of California are influenced by Mr. Ford’s assertion that it is a fragrance meant to evoke a sense of that golden state? I live in the southeast, and this reminds me much of herb gardens tended by the environmentally conscious denizens of North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains.
    It is very hot and humid here now, and this is so soothing a scent for the dog days of summer. I would love a bigger bottle of it; perhaps this is one that will be brought back when Tom Ford allegedly reissues some beloved discontinued ones from the past (I heard a rumor)…
    The lavender here lasts throughout the entire wearing on my skin and the citrus notes fade into the background. This is what I wanted!

    LAVENDER PALM smells just like a man who has received a straight razor shave at a barber shop. This perfume is warm, like the hot towels used to wrap the facial whiskers; lavendery, like a barber’s own fragrant, herbal special blend of shaving cream; leathery, like the straight razor that’s been sharpened on an animal hide; cool, like the cold towels to close the pores; and lemony, like a citrus aftershave applied. This frag smells sexy, edgy, exciting..
    I love LAVENDER PALM! And, even though I clearly think this smells more masculine than feminine, I, being a woman, will always wear it. I don’t care! In my opinion, some of the sexiest perfumes on women are masculine–we don’t always need to smell flowery or like a bowl of fruit and candy! Sometimes, it’s sexy for a woman to smell like fresh cut lavender and clary sage, vetiver and oak moss.
    I will be pulling this perfume out a lot this summer because it has great longevity, 8+ hours, and sillage. . . but mostly so I can wear it with my mini skirts and tank tops!

    Oh the differences in chemistry.
    Its all lavender on me with a touch of the vetiver (now 8 hours later on the skin).
    Its all palm on my husband, less spicy but just as wet like Penhaligons’s Cornubia.
    I got it for a steal so given its not my favorite, its worth it for the high quality ingredients.
    It was definitely more interesting on him then me. Reminds me of Dorian Gray.

    I just discovered this fragrance through a decant and when I went shopping I found it’s been discontinued! Catastrophe! I must stock up through other venues.
    Someone else noted this smells like California in a bottle and I agree. The lavender balances with the citrus and the underlying moss and vetiver to give it a non-traditional summer feel. It’s difficult to describe; even though it doesn’t have the notes it smells like the ocean, palm trees, and sun. It’s like a clean breeze but not at all harsh. It makes me think of wandering the Santa Monica board walk on a warm day. It’s a scent that actually takes me somewhere and I adore it.

    This is Los Angeles in a fragrance. Not the grimy, thuggish part of the city, or the part where all the hip, instagram-loving, wanna-be model/actor/musician/artists dwell, but the sparkling clean, wealthy part of the land. You know – THOSE people. Their hair is thick and shiny, their gold-rimmed aviators would never be seen smudged or scratched, and their pearly, chrome-y vehicles are beyond pristine – they’d never leave an empty latte cup in that vehicle, no sir. They’re not like the rest of us.
    Lavender Palm is for people who can make white linen pants and a tight tank top (over a dark, toned body) look like art. It’s for people who always have perfectly pedicured feet. It’s for people who have no children and insist on white couches and carpets in their massive homes.
    It’s for THOSE people…or people who want to imagine what it feels like to be those people as they smash their noses against their wrists and inhale while they sit on their saggy couch while watching Harry Potter movies. (Yes, I just described myself).
    Yay, Lavender Palm!

    California Lavender…
    So with this creation Tom Ford meant to evoke California (and specifically L.A.) in bottle. As someone who hasn’t been to California, I’ll have to take his word for it here.
    The smell… To me this is a wonderfully authentic Lavender which is surrounded by herbs and fresh citrus. There are actually two types of Lavender being used here by the perfumer, Yann Vasnier (Lavanillin & Lavender Absolute), which are supported by clary sage, bergamot, oakmoss, and both lemon and lemon blossom. At the bottom of this herbal base is vetiver and olibanum… and the overall feel is that of a dry, salty, yet fresh, herbal lavender.
    Personally I am someone who loves the smell of lavender, and although lavender is sometimes seen as a masculine note, I think this could work on male or female. The composition is fresh in the beginning, turning to dry and herbal in the base. It’s almost like a “salty” lavender… as if the lavender bushes are growing by the sea coast, with the salt in the air and the dry herbal aroma coming from the bush being baked in the sun.
    It’s a wonderful feeling, but the problem is (as with most Tom Ford Private Blends), is that the price can be a little high. Lavender Palm is a wonderful, authentic lavender fragrance, but it’s just as good as any other really good lavenders I have smelled, if you have the money for this (and want to smell like California luxury), go for it. But you can also check out a classic like Caron‘s Pour Un Homme which will also give an authentic lavender. But for a herbal, dry, citrus lavender, this is probably one of the best out there (if you have the money for it).

    Top and heart notes are nothing but intense lavender. Honestly speaking, I think that it is perfect scent… for a man. I mean it is not feminine at all.
    Maybe bossy women like directors, CEOs or even rulers of the house, could wear it. That was a little joke! I mean – if you feel powerful, this type of scent is definitely for you, no matter what you do.
    Base notes are quite gentle and lovely, I really could wear this scent if it was like that all the time.

    “Gone in 60 Seconds” – the lavender, that is. The first spritz was wonderful, but this is a case of disappearing notes. Within a minute I could not smell any more lavender, and was left with a light floral vetiver accord. Nice, but not what I was looking for.

    Bright lavender beginning note is great, but then – boring-boring-boring base. Nothing special, Gris Clair lavender I like much more!

    My first crush for a Tom Ford Fragrance! Classic aromatic fougère with a spring/summer citrus & blossom touch.
    What is interesting with Lavender Palm is the fact that the lavender keeps it’s herbal, aromatic smell. Many lavender fragrances receive the soapy treatment or are often paired with vanilla. Not the case here. Lavender Palm, on me, has that herbal scent like when you press your fingers against a lavender plant or leaf. A very simple scent, well… not that simple considering all the notes (cedar, palm tree leaves, linden, laurier, etc.).
    Unlike others have experienced, the opening is quite persistant and the dry down keeps its bright citrusy touch. Upon application, a very subtle but defying animalic/perspiration note (that’s what sage smells to me) peeks through and will eventually gently disappear. Be reassured, its in a good way and the overall feeling is very pleasant. It gives this soft & creamy fragrance a little rough edge in overture. Lasts for hours on me.
    A white shirt, a bright hot spring or summer sun and by the end of the day it’s still there.
    In a few words… bright aromatic, citrus & blossom, a little sweetness! Unfortunate that it has been discontinued.

    This just smells like a cheap motel room to me. A clean one, though. Cheap cleaning solutions and scratchy sheets, not a dingy-and-reeking-of-cigerette-smoke room.

    starts off interesting and intriguing; then, within about 5 – 10 minutes it becomes quite boring and bland. Very linear, reminiscent of cool water. kinda expected more…
    EDIT 23 feb 2014 : Tried this once again, it’s more interesting than I remembered…lavender juxtaposed with heavy citrus. works well…definitely worth a sniff/trial. I’m liking it…

    Lavender Palm opens with a burst of lavender which unfortunately fades so quickly that you even forget that this is supposed to be a lavender based fragrance. It has a salty vibe that just bothers me after a while. A simple citrus scent with some herbs for dressing at the drydown. For that price range I would stick to cheaper and realistic lavender fragraces see Penhaligon’s Lavandula or even Yardley English Lavender.Mediocre.

  36. :

    5 out of 5

    I assure you that the minty herbal lavender opening is both one of the best openings and the best lavenders in the business.
    The problem is that after 10 minutes, that opening is gone and you’re stuck with a dull run-of-the-mill mildly sweet floral vetiver base. It just doesn’t project well after the first hour either.
    An amazing opening doesn’t matter if the rest of the fragrance is totally generic. It’s the worst you can get without being a complete trainwreck. And for $200-300, absolutely not.
    2/5

    Lavender palm is very nice in the opening with its richness in Lavender. However once it’s gone the Green moss note takes over and is what remains.

    This is a sweetened spicy lavender. It certainly catches your attention but oh, how I wish they had used fresh smelling, better quality lavender!! Don’t be tricked by the amazingly fresh lavender that bursts out immediately you spray this because it turns cheap and artificial in a minute. I’m heartbroken because this would have been FBW for me if the lavender was not so cheap aftershave cologne-like. This had serious potential. I’m so sad.

    I love black coffee, but I’d rather not drink coffee at all than to drink it with sugar. My preference has led me to have my own category of coffee, which is defined by a lack of sweetener.
    Lavender Palm is the sweetened coffee of lavender to my nose. It’s a creamy, sweet lavender, nothing like the resinous, woody, incense lavender of my favorite lavender, Parfums de Nicolai pour Homme. But as with coffee, who the fuck cares what I think?
    Lavender Palm is distinct, coherent and inventive. The shape of the perfume holds green herbal facets, sweet creaminess, and the nutty-woody notes without becoming unbalanced or falling to pieces. The composition holds the lavender in the center, but keeps it from overpowering the other notes, something a sharp lavender often does. If you can get past paying hundreds of dollars for a lavender fragrance, Lavender Palm is one of the better options.

    The opening of lavender and lemon for me is quite rough and dry. After a short while, my skin soaks up the frag and what I get is a clean, summer waterfresh skinscent… The herby lavender turns all creamy and smooth, thank goodness. I love how the lemon is conjured in because it gives you this fresh, out of the shower feeling. This is a well blended lavender – citrus scent that is sensual yet simply beautiful on its own. Rate: 8.5/10

    Like putting on lavender absolute straight up. It has the same rough edges as the natural essence and smells herbal more than anything else. It is so unpolished it feels almost indecent but what is really indecent about it is the price TF charges for it. Even though I like it, I wouldn’t buy it even if I could afford it. I just feel that paying much more than the actual worth of something is a sign of lack of taste. I can dab some lavender absolute (which I buy online for 0.1% of this) and essentially get the same effect, all natural and with same projection and longevity. Aromatherapy benefits are a welcome extra…

    Such a lovely unisex fragrance. At first spray I knew it reminded my of another fragrance, and I figured it out what it was-a hint of Chanel Allure-perhaps because they both have the notes of bergamot and vetiver. On my skin lavender disappears quite quickly and bergamot, vetiver and lemon blossom (I think) stand out the most. Smells quite feminine imo.

    Was not sure if the opening was medicinal or detergent like.. Now at a dry down it smells like a toilette duck cleaning solution. Fresh one, citrusy. Masculine, definitely a male duck. Not convinced by this fragrance for a second. And it does not wash off……..

    LP is a very smooth floral with lavendar being the obvious dominating note. It’s very linear on me. It evokes exactly what the title says it evokes. It’s a bit strong at first, but settles very nicely. This is the first TF fragrance I have tried, and I guess I can say that there’s a definite reason this scent is as costly as it is. The notes are just very exquisite.

    today, I got three bottle of Private Blend collection. Tuscan leather, Azure Lime, and this one. It starts with a very straige opening..Hardly say what it is…after 6 hours to now..it smells soft and sweet..very nice and strong lasting power..

    A very lovely mix of lavender and lemon that smells really refreshing and good. It’s one of those scents that is simplistic with not many notes but done incredibly well.
    What is though no laughing matter is the criminal price they charge for what is essentially a lemony lavender. If the cost was high street reasonable then this would be a must buy for the Summer but alas not at the price Tom Ford wants for this.

    have heard of this, got a sample and it is a very nice scent especially for summer, i would love to have this one, hopefully i can find something that is similar at some less coin.. but very pleasant and beautiful opening..right away brings a smile to a fragrance lovers face..now lets see how long it will last. but at first sniff i am thinking an ultimate warm weather fragrance, many positive comments.. wow.. nice stuff…
    becoming one of my most complimented , especially in the office..
    I really cannot think of a better fragrance for summer.. if you have a signature in the summer , this would be mine.( if I could afford to wear it everyday)

    I think I was expecting a little too much from this fragrance, what with the expense and heritage. First spray was medicinal lavender, drying down to lemon then to a gathering of herbals. Oh, and it does not last.
    My quest for the perfect lavender continues. Not helped by the fact I have over 50 lavender bushes in my garden and nothing in a bottle has come close to the real thing. I’m a fragrance newbie, but I sure know my lavender.

    it’s by Yann Vasnier
    for me, besides Dior Eau Noire and Encens & Lavande by Lutens, one of the lavenders worth having.
    crisp, lemony, very herbal though creamy, salty, moist (almost sea-side without being an “aquatic”).
    the vetiver and oakmoss give it an interesting and elegant back-bone.
    a bit like wearing only sea-salty skin and a bikini under a tuxedo. I like:-)

    Smelt this in an airport in the middle east. I smelt the lavender at first and then it faded into an old school aqua. I really loved it as I can seeing myself wearing this on a hot day. Other reviewers said this didn’t have longevity but I have to disagree. It stayed with me for hours and really developed over that time. Highly recommend.

    As a fan of both Tom Ford and lavender, I had to try Lavender Palm. Unfortunately, it’s a little too ‘masculine’ for my taste. Although it is a unisex fragrance, I believe this is more suited for a man. I ended up giving it to my boyfriend in the hopes that he would use it since I do love the fragrance!

    I’m partial to lavender, and Tom’s Ford is the best! A friend has just come from Spain and the one thing I asked him to bring me was as much a Lavender Palm as he could carry, and God bless him, he did. So now I’m back to spraying in on sheets, pillow cases, myself of course, and whatever other bright innovation that comes to mind. It has such a fresh, clean scent… I just love it!

    What a wonderful fragrance!
    Having own a few of Tom Ford’s fragrance, this one is indeed different. And unexpected. Very refreshing, summery, sensual & upholds a sense of class. The silver bottle does reflects how the fragrance conveys itself, less so with the brown bottle. It is less complex than most of the Private Blend, and in my opinion, a winner in its own right.
    Initial encounter on the wrist, the first impression was ‘wow’. The floral scent of lavender wraps itself elegantly stimulating my olfactory senses reminiscing of my childhood days. Very charismatic, innocent yet mature. Sensual, rather than sexy. I have caught myself time & time again subconsciously taking a whiff from my wrist, closing my eyes, experiencing a sense of calmness & serenity. The stronger Lavender note eventually creeps in almost like a double-fold of satin enveloping slowly on the contours of the skin, irresistibly whispers to your senses announcing its presence.
    I remember my first encounter with Tuscan Leather, also my first time trying on Tom Ford’s private blends. The fragrance was so irresistible that it literally haunted me for weeks before I gave myself in to a 100ml bottle. But it wasn’t enough, I just have to have the larger decanter. My weakness failed me as the ownership quenched my long awaited desire. Lavender Palm, now, is exerting its similar hypnotising effect on me. I must be insane or possessed. My mortal mind cannot differentiate anymore under this spell. Nor I care to. I readily admit I am a willing victim and I gladly surrender myself to the palms of Tom Ford’s blend of Lavender… 250mls, here I come.

    I wasn’t entirely sold on this fragrance initially. However, after some time with it, I’ve determined that it is rough around the edges, and whilst a woman can wear this and probably pull it off easier, it’s perfect for the right kind of man.
    It is LOUD at the start and is easily present in your nostrils. However, you’ll be lucky to get any projection out of it after a few hours. It is fleeting in that respect, but it manages to stay on the skin, albeit softly, for an above average amount of time.
    It isn’t overly complex, starts off with a VERY strong lavender and develops into a milder, smoother lavender at the base. Lime, vetiver and a light incense make casual appearances through the scent’s note progression. For Private Blends fragrances, this isn’t unusual, since they generally all focus on one particular ingredient.
    Is it worth the $226.50 AUD I paid for it? No. I’d expect something with more longevity for that price. Do I regret buying it? As a collector, I don’t regret many purchases and in this case, you really can smell the quality materials and the fact that it IS expensive. It makes an impression. Just be sure to decant some of it and carry it around with ya.
    Oh, and the bottle is absolutely beautiful.
