Verveine Agrumes 2015
by L'Occitane en Provence
A crisp, natural citrus fragrance with prominent lemon, grapefruit, and orange notes, enhanced by a fresh lemon verbena accord. The scent is bright, tangy, and clean—reminiscent of a freshly squeezed lemon or lemon sherbet—making it ideal for warm weather and summer days. Cedar is faintly present, but most wearers note it doesn't dominate; instead, it gives a subtle drydown without adding woody complexity. The overall impression is one of purity and simplicity, with a slight sweetness that avoids being cloying. It feels refreshing and invigorating, like stepping into a sunlit garden or after a shower. Longevity is short, often lasting only 2 to 4 hours, and sillage remains intimate, making it a quiet, personal scent rather than a bold statement. It's particularly appreciated by those who dislike floral or synthetic additions in citrus scents, and those embracing natural ingredients may find its authenticity appealing.
