Year: 2013
Notes: citrus, lemon verbena, geranium, neroli, freesia, sandalwood, white musk
Similar to Heeley's Verveine d'Eugene, Verbena Absoluta is a minimalist and soapy verbena effort.
The citrus, lemon verbena and geranium convey a verdant balminess, with a modest citrus infusion. Although it isn't as bracing as expected, it's still pleasant. The florals aren't noticeably sweet and they serve to underscore the composition's green aromatic premise. Sadly, its evolution is uninspiring and the woody-musk base is both apologetic and forgettable.
As always with this house, longevity and sillage are both underwhelming.
