What does Verveine (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Geranium, lemon and citrus zest lead, so the scent reads crisp, fresh and green at first. In the heart, mandarin orange and vervain add a gentle fruity softness, and petitgrain with lemon petitgrain keeps the citrus line going underneath. A faint spicy touch stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it sits close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it suits either. Jo Malone Sorrel & Lemon Thyme and Caudalie Zeste de Vigne have a close profile.
