Dog Days in the South of France
The Durance is a river in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in the southeast of France. Pétillante Verveine is certainly the fragrance from Durance that best reflects this region.
With his really tingling citric head notes, which are combined right at the beginning with the cedar and the discreet musk, he reminds me of the dog days in southern France. A small street cafe in a small village situated on a rocky and yet dry forested mountain slope with tightly nested stone houses overlooking the Durance, a soft drink in the hand.
A great development of the fragrance is of course not to be expected due to the simple composition. It may be more woody and musky, but the citric freshness always remains dominant. His restraint in Sillage (close fitting) and durability (about 3 hours) stand for the Bonvivant in the original sense, enjoyment with measure.
I find it somewhat inappropriate that this is classified as a purely feminine fragrance, since it is rather harsher than, for example, Verveine by L'Occitane, which passes for unisex. The latter was my first choice last summer. But when it started to weaken, I liked to add the harsher Durance EdT. They get along very well, the two of them.
Oh and because of the excellent value for money I also like to use it to refresh the scented bags in the wardrobe.
