Verveine Utopie is the perfect fragrance to wear when it’s hot outside. This is a British brand that has products that smell amazing. You used to only be able to buy them overseas, and then in 2017 they came to Sephora, but now you can get them on Amazon!
Here are the notes of Verveine Utopie:
Top notes are: lemon, bergamot, sweet orange, and cardamom.
Middle notes: nutmeg, pink pepper, ginger, rosemary, basil and orange blossom.
Bottom notes: vetiver, fennel, cedar, wormwood.
As you can see, this scent is unlike most others. It doesn’t really focus on floral or gourmand notes, and that in itself makes it quite different. It’s also super fresh and clean, and most of the time, when I wear it, all I can smell is vetiver. Beginning to end, vetiver is the strongest and most consistent note in there, and that’s ok with me. It does start off quite lemony, and you get an intense whiff of lemon peel when you first spray it, but it’s tempered by the woodsy vetiver. There are also times when the fennel and basil add an almost sweet touch. It’s cooling from beginning to end. It’s fresh, it’s almost savory, and it’s uplifting so I love that. You can wear it during the day or at night, and it’s strong enough to be smelled by others around you, but is rarely offensive in any way because it doesn’t have any sweet notes in it. Most of the time, people don’t know the smell of vetiver so it’s appreciated as something new.
Even though this is a cologne, it lasts a good 8 hours,
You can also find Roger and Gallet at The Hudson’s Bay, and this scent is just $40.
Highly recommend simple self-care rituals if you’re finding yourself sick of it all. @bumbleandbumble While You Sleep Overnight Damage Repair Mask is exactly that, and if you swipe, you can read the instructions and the ingredients.
