Verveine
Verveine Eau de Toilette from L'Occitane En Provence runs on lemon and lemon verbena, the fruit first and then the leaf, which is greener and rounder than the opening suggests it will be. The handover between them is the most noticeable thing the fragrance does.
Geranium forms the base and gives the citrus a rosy herbal grounding. Across the composition the citrus sits with powdery and sweet floral notes, yellow and white floral in character, and a green herbal freshness that keeps the sweetness in check. It is a light scent by construction rather than by dilution, since there is nothing dense in it to begin with, and the three materials stay distinct from one another the whole way down. Across the wear the citrus never turns bitter and the floral sweetness never turns thick, which is the balance the composition is working to keep.
Fabrice Pellegrin composed it. L'Occitane En Provence was founded in 1976 by Olivier Baussan, then 23, distilling wild rosemary and lavender in Provence, and the house is headquartered in Manosque.
Moderate longevity and soft sillage make Verveine a close-wearing scent rather than a room-filling one, which suits a citrus of this kind, and it will not announce itself across a room. It wears in every season and fits the office, casual days and a night out, and it is especially comfortable in warm weather.
