You might be familiar with the original L’Occitane Verbena collection of bath and body products but the brand has just given the iconic fragrance a new twist for summer 2024.

The brand new limited edition Verbena Geranium range contains a nourishing hand cream, body cream, nail and cuticle oil and shower gel but it’s their Verbena Geranium Eau De Toilette that has got people talking.

The scent only been out for a few weeks and it’s already received a slew of five-star reviews. And while we know it can be tricky to shop for perfumes and fragrances online, you might want to grab a bottle of it sooner rather than later to avoid missing out on what is being called ‘the scent of the summer.’

Priced at £60 for a 100ml bottle, you can also purchase it as part of the brand’s Captivating Verbena Geranium Collection. This box of goodies has a value of £94.50 but for just £14 more than buying the EDT on its own, you also get the new shower gel, hand cream and a 50g version of the beloved Verbena leaf soap.

Plus, it all comes wrapped in a L’Occitane gift box, making it a great and easy to wrap gift idea or simply a way to get a lot more bang for your buck as you shop.

What does it smell like?

While verbena and the dedicated L’Occitane range has a lemony but fresh herbaceous scent, geranium adds a citrusy yet floral touch with just a hint more lemon, making it a wonderful fragrance for the warmer months of the year, or if you have any holidays planned somewhere sunny.

According to the brand, the Verbena Geranium Eau De Toilette is described as having top notes of lemongrass and bergamot. And as you might expect, its heart notes are verbena and geranium, with base notes of cedarwood and musk combining to create a wonderful aroma.

What are customers saying?

One happy customer took to the L’Occitane website to share their thoughts on the new addition to the range. They explained: “This is a gorgeous fresh scent with a floral twist. The Verbena provides a bright, lemony scent, while geranium adds a rosy/leafy aspect without being too overpowering. This fragrance is perfect for spring and summer.”

While another agreed: “I don't usually go for verbena scents but as soon as I smelt this one, I knew I had to buy! The scent is a little more sweeter with the floral scent of geraniums with an undertone of the verbena. It's a refreshing scent and certainly will be a summer fragrance to have! The bottle is lovely, a tint of green to complement the verbena.”

The L’Occitane Verbena Geranium Eau De Toilette is exclusively available at L’Occitane stores and counters, as well as on the brand’s website.
