Lavender Honey Wine

Does exactly what it says on the tin -- if you've ever had lavender mead, this is it! The honey is well-rounded, with just enough of an edge to let you know that yes, the alcohol is lurking in there somewhere; the lavender floats on top, leaning slightly more towards the herbal than the floral side but just enough so to balance out the honey. Really lovely! (and oooh, would I drink a whole lot of this if it were an actual drink...)

The lavender is strong and herbal. The honey is pretty mild and I get no wine at all. It's a very soft scent with low throw

Lavender Honey Wine is probably the 2025 Lavender Kitchen scent that is strongest on the lavender, at least out of the gate. At first, it's a blast of herbal lavender, backed by some honey. Over time, the lavender calms down and gives way to the honey wine, and you can tell it's wine and not honey, as there's a bit of fruity booziness to it. By the end of the day, it's honey wine tinged with just a bit of lavender.

 

I like this one, but it doesn't leave me swooning like several of this year's Lavender Kitchen scents have. I'll probably retest this before it goes away to see if I need more of it. But for now, I'm definitely keeping the decant and will probably use it as a sleep scent.
