Description
I’m certain that the Grasse, FR-based fragrance oil used in this great lotion is identical to the one forming the fragrance of this bath soap, this candle, and this shaving soap. Verbena/verveine’s a near-sibling precursor to vetiver, the sort of sweet bright slightly citrus “energetic” notes which then get added with the dirty/earthy/spicy base to make the more complex vetiver. I like straight vetiver better, but verbena is definitely not without its charms, and it is fair to say that those who like vetiver should have a high likelihood to enjoy a true verbena.
