The heart goes powdery with iris and geranium, and a thread of rum runs through it, just enough warmth to keep the powder from feeling cold. Then sandalwood takes over, smooth and creamy, with vetiver and oak underneath to keep it dry. It's a lavender fragrance for people who think they don't like lavender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePenhaligon's sells A Balm of Calm as part of its Potions \u0026amp; Remedies line, a Victorian apothecary cure for nerves.

In July 1842, Episcopal Bishop Levi Silliman Ives looked down on a valley where three streams met in the shape of a cross and named it Valle Crucis, Latin for Vale of the Cross. He started a mission there with a farm and a school. One of its deacons, William West Skiles, practiced medicine among the mountain people until his death in 1862. A valley named for a moment of calm, with its own mountain doctor, seemed right for a remedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspired By\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePenhaligon's A Balm of Calm — \u003cstrong\u003eValle Crucis\u003c\/strong\u003e is our impression of A Balm of Calm, hand-blended at extrait strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromatic · Fougère · Woody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender · Clary Sage · Cardamom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeranium · Iris · Rum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandalwood · Vetiver · Oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGender\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Unisex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity: High\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lavender lifts off within the first hour.
