WoodyWhat does Verbena Absoluta smell like?
The top notes are vervain, citrus zest and lemon vervain, so it opens as a sharp, clean, green citrus. In the heart, neroli, geranium and freesia add a soft floral layer. The base of moss and sandalwood settles it onto a woody ground, while sweet and spicy touches stay in the background. A synthetic edge also runs through the accords. Its profile is close to Lancôme Ôff Now and Woods of Windsor Bergamot & Neroli.
