Verveine Cedrat

What a stunning little piece! If you are into fresh, sharp citrus scents, this is for you. It's a verbena (smells like lemonbalm or lemongrass) mixed with cedar peel, you get a strong, zesty blast upon spraying that is immediately awaking. Great in the mornings or for a midday pick-me-up! Absolutely summery and refreshing, can be bought for a song (got mine for less than 10 euros). Longevity is poor as with all these summer fresh colognes (although this us supposed to be edp), but it costs next to nothing so that not a real issue. Exact dupe for Verbena by L'Occitane, 5 times cheaper. Go get it.

It smells like a lemon garden in the summer and I love it! Very fresh, makes you feel like basking in lemonade. I noticed this has a bit smell of soda? Like zesty citrus soda. And this is cheap yet the bottle is cute so you can aesthetically put on your drawer proudly. Ps. I just lay my hand on Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nil and my goodness the opening note is the same! I tried to spray HUJSLN on my left sleeve and VCJA on my right sleeve, the first hour I cannot differentiate them. The dry down of course very different but if you like something like HUJSL but in bargain price, you can try this.

Very unique lemony scent, stunning for the price, a nice refreshing perfume to spray on a hot summer day. If you've ever tasted the german candy "Nimm 2" (or any other lemon drops), this perfume is the lemon version in a bottle. Juicy, zesty sweet lemon (maybe a bit too sweet for summer when it's really hot), with a very green middle which is probably the verbena. It does not really have a base or strong dry-down, the notes only list musk so the persistence is not great. However you can get it for practically nothing, plus the bottle is really cute.

This year I've really started enjoying citric perfumes. I like them especially when there's sweetness to them, highlighting the gourmand qualities of these fruits, while making them farther from the typical associations to cleaning products, bug repellents and so on. This really smells like lemon verbena, little bit sweet and with some depth to it. Amazing value for the price. A truly unisex scent, especially good during these hot summer Mediterranean days above 35°C 🔥

Reminds in some way edt Versense by Versace, but this one is really about a lemon, simplier of course, but stil very nice. Crispy, freshly made lemon water. It is like you just squeezed the lemon and sniffed it. Longevity is somewhat around 30 minutes, shorter then Rose and Angelica, which are my favourite. For it to be more long lasting apply those perfumes upon some thick cream or body butter, it will increase the scent in many times up to several hours!
