Verveine d'Été

Open with pretty strong Verbena note that maybe can't smell other notes, but wait a moment, can start feeling that I am in the middle of herb garden. After lemon verbena smelling then start to smell Lavender and light Campher note mixing with Verbena, then Thyme and Sage are joyning to the ending. This is just like summer herb garden. Close my eyes and I can imagine summer breeze, sunshine, sounds of bees, white cloud like cotton candy. Beautiful and poetic.

You can almost smell a garden growing inside this bottle. Tender greens elevated by an herbaceous brightness. The lavender combined with basil almost comes off as peppery and the citrus a mix of verbena and yuzu. This one is just a stunner, green like I’ve never quite experienced before.

This is a beautiful, vivid verbena scent. It's very uplifting and refreshing and is perfect for summer. I loved how citrussy and zingy it is.

A walk through the Summer Garden, located in the Peterhof Palace in Saint Petersburg, is the starting point for the creation of Verveine d'Été, a fragrance that brings a fresh look to the Verveine perfume, created in 1978 by Yuri Gutsatz. To portray the invigorating scent of this garden, notes of basil from Egypt, verbena, lemon and bergamot from Italy, vetiver from Haiti, eucalypt from China and oakmoss were used. Verveine d'Été is citric and limpid. Joining the lemon with the verbena is like waiting for an almost astringent result. Particularly I like this smell, but many people can not withstand scents with the verbena note very present, because of the strong connection they make with the smell of some cleaning products or those car fresheners. On the skin, there is no miraculous evolution. The scent opens with a lot of citric content and walks towards a mossy, almost fougère base. And when applied, it exhales very powerfully, by the way. Within the current line of Le Jardin Retrouvé, I would say that Eau des Délices functions as the youngest brother of the citrus family, while Verveine d'Été is the middle brother and Citron Boboli, the eldest. And even being a perfume full of more volatile ingredients, it has good durability on the skin. On mine, for example, it survived longer than Sandalwood Sacré. Verveine d'Été is unisex and fits with those warmer summer days, as well as spring nights. If the garden of the Palace of Peter, the Great (Peter I of Russia) possesses this scent, then it is worth a walk there. It lifts any spirit or mood!

Perfect fragrance for summer if you like verbena. Very natural and fresh scent, 100% unisex. The quality of ingredients is really good. My feeling: you are in the middle of verbena in a real garden, the morning. It is a linear perfume. I cannot smell lavender or oak moss for information. Good for all ages (kid, adult, seniors). 7/10, very good job! --> In this brand, for summer, I prefer Verveine d'été. Verveine d'été (verbena & bergamot) > Citron Boboli (lemon & clove) > Eau des délices (citrous cologne) --> For spring: Rose Trocadero (a lovely rose fragrance, very fresh) --> For fall: Tubéreuse Trianon (strong tuberose & ylang ylang)
