crimescenecleanup Report post Posted January 12, 2018 He Who Soothes the Storm: languid lavender pacifying a tumultuous wave of salt water, guiac wood, and cedar. Whoa, this is beautiful! It is a very masculine lavender. The guiac wood adds just a touch of natural sweetness, the cedar grounds it. The lavender stays dominant throughout. I don't get any aquatic from this, it just seems like a clean, fresh airy floral with just a whisper of woods. Soft, not bracing. It is the kind of scent that seems unexpected, daring and sexy, yet still gentle and inviting. I suspect a lot of people will want to buy this for their significant others, so they can cuddle up to Aegir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djnevermore Report post Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Exactly what previous reviewer said! Seriously, spot-on, except that I'd add I can smell the saltiness, which smells better than it sounds. This would be delicious on a guy, but is certainly multi-sex! Dorian's rakish sea-faring cousin. Edited January 28, 2018 by djnevermore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted February 2, 2018 Sea-faring masculine lavender. I get lavender and musky woody base. Very pirate-based lavender. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torikitty Report post Posted February 12, 2018 I surprisingly love this. I'm not an aquatics person, nor lavender for daily wear. However, the saltiness tames the medicinal side of the lavender. I still don't understand how these scents work together. I wish I had of bought a backup bottle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lady_pandora Report post Posted February 21, 2018 I bought Aegir because I fell in love with the imp of Silence that came in my Black Friday order. I'm already halfway through that imp because it's become my favorite sleep scent. So when I saw lavender and cedar as notes in Aegir, I thought it might hit the spot similarly. It's not quite the same, but I do like it! Aegir starts out a little nutty in the first few minutes, and then becomes lavender/cedar/salt. Others have mentioned that there's something masculine about it, and I would agree, and I'm not sure which note is creating that impression. It would keep Aegir from becoming a day scent for me, but for sleep I don't mind it. It's beautifully calm, soothing, and oceanic without being ozoney. I slept in it last night with good results. I think it would smell amazing on a guy too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucchesa Report post Posted May 18, 2018 I was frimped a tester of Aegir; I would never have tried it otherwise. Lavender tends to be really sharp on me, and I don't do aquatics. But I try the things that come my way, and this is surprisingly lovely. It's not a sharp, screechy lavender at all; it really is a languid lavender (Lab, if you're reading this, more languid lavender, please!!). I'm not familiar with guiac, but the cedar is toned down as well, so it's like opening a cedar chest to find old sprigs of lavender inside, not like pencil shavings. I think I prefer saltwater to freshwater notes; this does not do the laundry detergent thing most aquatics do on my skin. The saltwater is kind of grounding and works beautifully with the lavender and wood notes. And I dig the description of this as piratical lavender! I kind of love this and think it would make a great sleep scent. I wish I had more of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
