Eau de Verveine

Eau de Verveine opens with bright verbena and basil that crackle sharp and green, grounded immediately by cedar's cool spine and mandarin's sweet citrus lift. As it settles, cypress rises to meet orange in a cleaner, more restrained middle—herbaceous without heaviness. The base arrives slowly: vetiver's earthy, slightly smoky root anchors palisander rosewood's subtle warmth, while honey threads through as a soft sweetening force rather than a sugar note. The whole composition feels crisp and linear, grounded in herb and wood rather than chasing brightness.
