Verveine L'Occitane en Provence 2003 Eau de Toilette
1
Tart Mediterranean Lemons
Quite simply put, this is the most natural smelling, non-synthetic, invigorating and green leafy verbena in a bottle.
As I smell this I am reminded of the green leafy tips of lemon, oranges, and citrus zests, all slightly shaken by the swift breeze, on a spring morning in a lush, green garden.
It has a tart, sour grapefruit like wince inducing opening reminiscent of lemon sorbets that morphs beautifully and seamlessly into a sweet, creamy and fruity textured verbena.
Its longevity has much to be expected from and for a citrus heavy fragrance is too standard,(relatively better than the original 4711 Eau De Cologne), on my skin I don't get much beyond 4 hours mark, which is the only major letdown especially given that is not as affordable as 4711.
However if longevity is not your concern you are left with one of the most beautiful and natural renditions of verbena, that is at once verdant, lush, leafy and momentarily potent.
Add a little zesty zing to your stride when you wake up in the spring morning to go out for a walk in the lush green fields.
Verveine is a very easy fragrance to fall in love with, and as the opening dissipates you are still left with a sweet, creamy and blissfully fruity version of the Provencal fields with a little spiciness of geranium.
Overall Rating: 8 /10
