Verveine
Verveine opens lemon-bright with grapefruit's slight bitter pith behind it — a clean, energetic citrus that smells more like crushed leaves than peel, in keeping with the verbena that gives it its name.

By the editors · 2 min readVerveine opens lemon-bright with grapefruit's slight bitter pith behind it — a clean, energetic citrus that smells more like crushed leaves than peel, in keeping with the verbena that gives it its name. The opening is short and unembellished, doing exactly what a verbena cologne is supposed to do.
In the heart, jasmine and ylang lend a soft white-floral roundness while iris adds a cool, slightly powdery thread that keeps the florals from going too sweet. The base is quiet and resinous — benzoin and amber warm patchouli into a low, hummed-down finish, more atmosphere than statement. Wears close after the first hour, summery without being throwaway, equally at ease on a man or a woman in warm weather.
