Rose scent and fine wine
It is not that winemakers can simply, like the big noses in the perfume world, combine all kinds of grapes to create the wine with the finest aromas.

Floral and spicy. The scent of lavender is not only nice for bees and butterflies, but also has a calming effect on people - and it has been proven. From bath foam to fabric softener, perfume to detergent; lavender is in everything.
