Barry Lyndon was inspired by the novel of the same name, written by W. M. Thackeray in the 19th century of an Irish rogue born to a poor but genteel family who rose to the heights of European society. He traveled all over Europe in this picturesque and engaging novel.
Maria Candida Gentile has chosen very special and rare Lavender, the Stoechas Lavender as one of the key ingredients only found in the Alpine Mountains and grows 8000 feet above sea level to evoke for her fragrance Barry Lyndon. Artemisia herb is also part of composition, and is known as the "green sorcerer", loved by artists including Vincent Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe.
Notes: Lavender, Artemisia, Arnica, Heather, Leather notes, Vetiver, Vanilla

Calming
I found this to be incredible. It has a great incense/leather/lavender beginning and then develops into something even more calming. It is linear yet intelligent and despite being soft (in the sense that nothing is jarring) has good projection and longevity.

Astringent
Not a huge fan of this one - smells very sharp and acidic for my taste.
