Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Verveine D'Eugène bursts open with a vibrant, zesty hit of bergamot and tart rhubarb, given a subtle spicy edge by cardamom. As it settles, the bright, leafy lemon verbena takes centre stage, beautifully complemented by the juicy sweetness of blackcurrant and a whisper of delicate jasmine. The dry down is a clean, soft musk that allows the earlier notes to linger, creating a refreshing and natural aura.
