Description
The collection of Un Matin au Jardin by the house of Yves Rocher will be expanded with a new fragrance dedicated to lemon verbena – Feulles de Verveine / Verbena Leaves, arriving after last year’s edition The Vert. As the third edition in green packaging (Muguet en Fleurs 2013, The Vert 2015, Feulles de Verveine 2016), the new fragrance accompanies the spring, optimistic and very refreshing style of the collection. Citrus blossom is sunny, gentle and juicy, rose reminds us of spring and is sweet, dewy and very fresh, lilac is authentic and has the sweet-green scent as if you brought your face close to a lilac bush full of flowers; cherry blossom is extremely feminine, seductively sweet, gentle and romantic, while lily of the valley was created to convey perfectly the scent of lemonish-green flowers which announce spring.
Yves Rocher Feulles de Verveine is not the first verbena-based fragrance of the Yves Rocher collection. The wonderful edition from the Fracheur Vegetale Verveine collection was introduced in 2003 and it skillfully interpreted the scent of lemon verbena, it was created beautifully and quite long-lasting on the skin. Its composition contained a blend of lemon and verbena, supported by musk and sweet honeysuckle which can be felt but are not too dominant in the composition. This year’s fragrance is focused on verbena leaves which contain characteristic green-citrusy charm, combining them with musk which leaves s subtle, creamy shade. The aim was to highlight citrusy tartness and refreshing green note of verbena in this edition – according to Yves Rocher.
Fragrance Feulles de Verveine is available as 20 and 100ml Eau de Toilette in characteristic, glass bottles repeating the form of the previous editions of the Un Matin au Jardin collection. Fans of body care products are offered body lotion 200ml and shower gel 200ml of the same fragrant notes as eau de toilette.

I bought this perfume in sale for about 15 euros. At first it’s beautiful citrusy smell of verbena. But this fades after about hour and it’s only soft smell of something floral. Whole thing lasts about 2 or 3 hours. But smell is nice, silage is just fine, but that’s all.

the store was on sale, and this 100ml bottle was half priced. so i took the bait. cost around US$14.00, not that costly. scent’s longevity is very very good. long lasting. citrusy indeed, lemony. with a hint of vetiver all along. it has a slight similarity yet different from Yves rocher’s men’s EDT Cedar/Lime. But this Verveine is truly unisex scent. I’m a man and i wont hesitate using this, and i wont be surprised to smell this on a woman either. Nice product.

Swedish Girl I would take your reviews seriously if it were not for the fact that you disapprove of almost EVERY scent that you review. Perhaps you should develop a little kinder viewpoint on things. Just my observation.

Feuilles de Verveine might be a great alternative to L`Occitane`s overpriced Verveine if you`re not looking for a 100% identical twin.
It`s not as tart as L`Occitane`s take on Verveine yet not as sweet as Yves Rocher previous version, more like something in between. Very well done as you would expect from Yves Rocher.
I suppose that Yves Rocher`s more recent releases are free of phtalates (no more denatured alcohol in the INCIs list to be found) so it shouldn`t be surprising that longevity isn`t that great anymore. Anyway, respraying during the day won`t break the bank.

I have every single fragrance except for the Cherry Blossom and Rose, all of them last max 2 hours.
Feuilles de Verveine is crisp, sparkling lemon verbena. I personally do not feel any musky note in this fragrance- just straightforward lemon verbena. I use it after shower to prolong the feeling of freshness. I own the shower gel and the body lotion, they do help the fragrance to last longer, though the staying power is weak, regardless. It is excellent as a fragrance for the “after shower-before another fragrance” situation, or whenever you stay at home and just don´t feel like wearing any fragrance, of when it is particularly hot outside and you need something to freshen up. Do not expect a great longevity or sillage and you will not be disappointed.

Opens with a glorious blast of lemon verbena, so fresh, and vital.
This fades all too soon for me, because I love lemon, and becomes a faint powdery citrus.
I wish it lasted longer.
This is certainly light, refreshing, ideal for hot summer days, and is certainly unisex.
