Perk up and relax at the same time! A steamy shot of espresso spiked with hazelnut syrup and crowned with pale purple foam.

Hazelnut Lavender Latte

 

In the Bottle:

Gently lavender, sweet coffee notes

 

Application:

Applied a single dot of oil, smooshed between the wrists & dabbed behind each ear thereafter

 

On my Skin, Wet:

A burst of sweet coffee, some sugary gooeyness, small wifts of lavender and just barely noticeable nuttiness

 

On my Skin, Dry:

Still sweet coffee, but not as sugary as before.

The lavender drifts off somewhat as well, but is not completely gone

The hazelnut now makes more of an appearance but still pretty subdued overall.

 

Verdict:

Beautiful and cozy - I can see this one being a year-round favorite and in rotation regularly.

I really like the creamy coffee note in this. There's no cloying hazelnut here, and the lavender, which is most noticeable during the wet phase of the scent, ends up being fleeting (like with so many of the other Lavender Kitchen scents this year). My only complaint is that the lavender seems to be separate from the rest of the coffee, like it's floating above it, but not really apart of it, before it disappears.

 

The coffee note is so good that I'm willing to forgive the lavender being disjointed/fleeting, though. I'm going to have to give this a full day of wear to see if I like this one or Krampus Kreme Latte more.
