No.587 Verveine

This fragrance is inspired by L'Occitane en Provence's Verveine. It is built around a clean, fresh lemon that never tips into sourness - more green, herbal and slightly sweet than sharp. Lemon and orange open things up before lemon verbena and petitgrain take over in the heart, giving the classic verbena-cologne character the original is loved for. Geranium and rose round out the base with a soft, slightly floral finish rather than a hard citrus stop. Where the original has a brisker, more assertive freshness typical of French eau fraiche colognes, this alternative sits quieter and closer to the skin, with shorter projection and a gentler sillage overall. It's an energetic, uncomplicated summer-day scent that works equally well for an easy day at the office as it does for casual weekend wear, though it isn't designed to make a statement or perform at range - anyone hoping to impress from across the room may find it fades faster than they'd like.
