What does Verbena smell like?

It leans towards easy daily wear: most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daytime and office come up most often. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the sample is small, so treat those ratings loosely. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads open to both.

It opens with citrus notes and vervain, with green notes and white blossoms in the heart. Vetiver, musk and amber in the base soften and steady it. The overall impression is fresh, floral and lightly spicy, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Ineke Chemical Bonding and Pitralon Pitralon Polar have a close profile.
