Verveine, from L'Occitane en Provence was released in 2003. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Lemon and Orange, middle notes of Lemon Verbena and Petitgrain, and base notes of Geranium and Rose.
Brilliantly bright fragrance, the verbena just sings and zings with a slight green vibe but primarily it's a strong natural citrus. The sweetness gives it the candy/sweets feel many describe and it does smell very much like lemon sherbet sweets to me and if you like them (which I do!) this will be a winning fragrance for you. It can't be thought of in simplistic lemon terms like something which smells like a cheap detergent or bathroom cleaning product, verveine is wonderful and has a natural beauty to it which is so fresh and lively, a character it even manages to retain as in dries down upon the skin. This is going to be a perfect scent for summer, sure the longevity is average for this sort of fragrance but apparently verbena has natural mosquito repellent properties which could be a useful bonus. I personally can't wait for hot weather to break this one out.
