Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena & Lavender de Provence
That opening blast in indeed - verbena and lavender. So what - another lavender fragrance? Yes, but this opening convinces by the solid quality of the
verbena, but the lavender is done especially well and has a pleasant natural character.
The drydown adds a woodsy note, citric touches, and in the base a moderately sweet vanilla emerges too. Whiffs of white musks are the harbingers of the final
phase of the development of this creation.
I get moderate sillage, adequate projection and six hours of longevity on my skin.
The top notes in this summery scent are truly delightful, whilst the rest is a bit less vibrant and less convincing. Still - a good result and very nice on
not too hot a summer’s day.
Released 2013.
