What does Boss Collection - Cotton Verbena smell like?

It opens with vervain and lemon, a bright and slightly sharp start. The heart brings moss and vetiver, and the base settles into dry notes and woody notes that soften everything into an earthy ground. A synthetic edge runs through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits those who want a light freshness through the day. It is presented as a men's fragrance. Adopt' Verveine Fizz and Dior Sauvage Eau Forte have a close profile.
