About this material
Verbena de Provence is a luminous expression of citrus-green elegance, inspired by sunlit gardens, aromatic leaves and the effortless refinement of the Mediterranean.
Crisp, radiant and beautifully botanical, it opens with the sparkling clarity of lemon zest before softening into the graceful green freshness of verbena leaf.
Its scent profile is bright yet composed: fresh citrus, cool herbal facets, delicate green leaf and a refined aromatic softness that feels polished rather than sharp.
More sophisticated than a simple lemon note, Verbena de Provence brings a natural cologne-like lift, adding clarity, freshness and understated luxury to perfume compositions.
Elegant in citrus accords, herbal colognes, tea-inspired creations, spa-luxury blends and Mediterranean botanical themes, Verbena de Provence lends a clean, uplifting signature with a cultivated, effortlessly refined finish.

CAS numbers (comment): The scope of this Standard includes, but is not limited to the CAS number(s) indicated above; any other CAS number(s) used to identify these fragrance ingredients should be considered in scope as well.
Contributions from other sources: None to consider
Flavor use consideration: Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.A leafy cologne
With geranium and herbal notesSketch a citrus opening with a green or herbal counterpoint. Compare the leafy version with the citrus alone, noting whether the added direction suggests peel, garden freshness or an herbal character that changes the brief.
Citrus and grain
With a transparent wood directionExplore a spare citrus-and-wood structure, keeping the wood choice simple. Follow both the opening and later impression to see whether the composition keeps a clear outline as the bright citrus character changes through the evaluation.
Petal brightness
With rose and airy floral notesUse a familiar floral accord as the setting for a brighter citrus variation. Compare the flower with and without the citrus material, then decide whether to emphasise a fresh opening or a more continuous floral impression.
