Would sprig be right for brin and I'm not sure how to get round the "de Provence" part?

juliebarba: 5:53am Sep 26, 2006: it could also just be litteral as Cjohnstone says....lots of the sites on Provence have it...beware though you'll be dreaming about the pictures if you start looking round....

I quite like 'an air of Provence' to include the actual smell of the perfume

| A little piece of Provence
Erklärung:
My first reading given the context suggests it might be the other meaning of 'brin'. If you don't like that then I suppose you are looking at 'a provencal sprig' which doesn't do anything for me...

| a sprig (flower) from Provence
Erklärung:
ici en Provence on dit toujours un brin de lavande!!! idée de rajouter flower pour qu'en anglais on voit la fleur au bout du sprig!!! OK, invention verbale!!! Mais c'est pas juste l'odeur (cf réponses pécédentes, c'est aussi l'aspect physique et ici on fait des fuseaux de lavande justement avec des brins retournés et attachés par des rubans
