Verveine

Verveine opens with a bright rush of lemon verbena and grapefruit—zesty, almost peppery—before litsea cubeba sharpens the green. The heart softens into ylang-ylang's creamy sweetness and jasmine's waxy floral warmth, grounding the initial citrus snap. A whisper of woody base emerges quietly beneath, anchoring the brightness without shadowing it. This is clarity meeting bloom: crisp yet sensual, never cloying.
