Lavender bushes are on every street corner here, and when they bloom I usually grab a sprig and carry it around with me, but I think lavender is probably the only note that I'll be able to pick out and go "hey, that's lavender."

Pulling notes from Aveda's website I see sandalwood, jasmine, rose, ylang ylang, lavender, vanilla, petitgrain, vetiver, and bergamot, with lavender being in nearly every scent. Though not all of their notes, it is a pretty good sampling from their most popular scents. I suspect the sharpness you're getting is from the lavender and vetiver. They both appear in: Death on a Pale Horse - white musk, mint, lavender, patchouli, vetiver, yuzu, lime, geranium bourbon, white sandalwood and calla lily. The Scales of Deprivation - lemon peel, white sage, frankincense, lavender fougere, sandalwood, vetiver and labdanum. Bluebeard - Violet, lavender, white musk and vetiver. You may also like: Arcana - Frankincense, rosemary, lavender, neroli, and lemon verbena. Veil - White sandalwood, lilac, gardenia, violet, orris, lavender and ylang ylang. Twilight - Lavender and jasmine, with a touch of glowing honeysuckle. Calliope - Lavender and mint with bergamot, verbena, thyme, sweet orange and warm almond. Namaste - Sandalwood, jasmine, rose, patchouli, cedarwood and lemongrass. The Caterpillar - Heavy incense notes waft lazily through a mix of carnation, jasmine, bergamot, and neroli over a lush bed of dark mosses, iris blossom, deep patchouli and indolent vetiver.

Now that Dublin will be discontinued I'd like to find something similar. It sounded wonderful. Unfortunately won't have a chance to grab it before it is gone.
