What does Pure DKNY - Verbena / A Drop of Verbena smell like?

Most voters place it in summer and spring, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it sits close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. More than half of voters call its character feminine.

Basil and vervain open it, with peony, honeysuckle and jasmine forming a soft floral heart. Vetiver, white amber and Irish moss settle underneath, adding an earthy, slightly powdery base. Aquatic and spicy touches stay in the background without breaking the fresh feel. Jo Malone Geranium & Verbena and Yves Rocher Chèvrefeuille have a close profile.
