Feuilles de Verveine

the store was on sale, and this 100ml bottle was half priced. so i took the bait. cost around US$14.00, not that costly. scent's longevity is very very good. long lasting. citrusy indeed, lemony. with a hint of vetiver all along. it has a slight similarity yet different from Yves rocher's men's EDT Cedar/Lime. But this Verveine is truly unisex scent. I'm a man and i wont hesitate using this, and i wont be surprised to smell this on a woman either. Nice product.

Opens with a glorious blast of lemon verbena, so fresh, and vital. This fades all too soon for me, because I love lemon, and becomes a faint powdery citrus. I wish it lasted longer. This is certainly light, refreshing, ideal for hot summer days, and is certainly unisex.

A very mediocre fragrance, it's weak and disappears quickly. It feels very mild and doesn't give much to expect. It just feels like a lemon candy that an old lady would give you. If it would last longer and have more notes than just the citrus, then it might be a good summer fragrance. It could work out quite well as a beginner fragrance.

The opening smells like what every verbena fragrabces have in common; a lemon flavored hard candy or lemon flavored lozenges smell, only this one dries down similar to D&G Light blue.

For me this literally smells like a strong lemon candy, very simple scent with not that much background. but would definitely recommend for a beginner summer scent.

Smells like Vicks lemon, the yellow ones.

I have every single fragrance except for the Cherry Blossom and Rose, all of them last max 2 hours. Feuilles de Verveine is crisp, sparkling lemon verbena. I personally do not feel any musky note in this fragrance- just straightforward lemon verbena. I use it after shower to prolong the feeling of freshness. I own the shower gel and the body lotion, they do help the fragrance to last longer, though the staying power is weak, regardless. It is excellent as a fragrance for the "after shower-before another fragrance" situation, or whenever you stay at home and just don ́t feel like wearing any fragrance, of when it is particularly hot outside and you need something to freshen up. Do not expect a great longevity or sillage and you will not be disappointed.

Feuilles de Verveine might be a great alternative to L`Occitane`s overpriced Verveine if you`re not looking for a 100% identical twin. It`s not as tart as L`Occitane`s take on Verveine yet not as sweet as Yves Rocher previous version, more like something in between. Very well done as you would expect from Yves Rocher. I suppose that Yves Rocher`s more recent releases are free of phtalates (no more denatured alcohol in the INCIs list to be found) so it shouldn`t be surprising that longevity isn`t that great anymore. Anyway, respraying during the day won`t break the bank.

I bought this perfume in sale for about 15 euros. At first it's beautiful citrusy smell of verbena. But this fades after about hour and it's only soft smell of something floral. Whole thing lasts about 2 or 3 hours. But smell is nice, silage is just fine, but that's all.

Swedish Girl I would take your reviews seriously if it were not for the fact that you disapprove of almost EVERY scent that you review. Perhaps you should develop a little kinder viewpoint on things. Just my observation.
