Bonpland

Lemon verbena leads the way. It smells like crushed leaves in a garden where the sun has already warmed the stems. The opening is bright and green rather than sharp.

The lemon note sits in the heart and carries through to the end. It is not a candy lemon. It feels like the fruit itself, with the rind and the pulp both present in the scent.

The drydown keeps that citrus theme but lets the herbal side grow. The air around the skin starts to smell of conifer needles and dry aromatic herbs. It is a clean, fresh finish that stays close to the plant.

Wear this when the sky is clear and the air is warm enough for a walk without a jacket. It fits a person who wants a scent that smells like nature itself, not like a perfume factory.
