Lovely. Rhubarb, sour, earthy, fruity. Blackcurrant & jasmine really beautiful as a base. Would be a great scent but absolutely 0 projection

Citrus start, but quickly turns green and herbal. Quite fresh, but a little bit synthetic.

If Only It Lasted...

At the open, there's a lovely mixture of lemongrass and rhubarb with a bit of cardamom and floral citrus. This eventually settles into a fruity, lemon verbena with an undertone of musk. A really pleasing fresh scent that would be great during the day in warmer weather. Well, that is if it lasted the day. Or even the hour.

Honestly, the projection is practically nothing even on application. It lasts as a skin scent for 1-2 hours before being totally imperceptible. An absolute disappointment that holds back an otherwise enjoyable fragrance. I don't see how I could buy something with about as much power as an average body wash.

Refreshment

Verveine's opening is interesting. The rhubarb stands out and I like that. What follows is a pretty straight-forward lemon verbena scent. Sour, greenish.

Today is sunny and warm, not particularly hot yet. The first half to full hour, it had an ok projection. After that it's hide and seek.

A nice summer refreshment. And that's about it, really. It left me quite indifferent.

Now You Smell It, Now You Don't...

Verveine opens with a light, fresh almost lemon grassy accord before turning more herbal, while mixing with lemon verbena in the heart notes. The herbal lemon verbena even turns a hair sour, even slightly rubbery... And then it all but disappears. I really don't get much if any base notes. Projection is below average to average, and longevity is quite brief.

I liked the brief fresh lemon grass opening, but when the scent turned slightly sour and rubbery it lost me. I also bemoan the extremely brief longevity. I don't dislike Verveine, but I find it only average on the whole, and way over-priced for what it is. Not bad, but not recommended. 2.5 to 3 stars out of 5.
