Jean Lowe Verde Aura

Lemon and orange join the citron at the top, while black currant adds a tart note beneath the mint and coriander. In the heart, basil keeps things herbal, apricot and May rose bring a soft, juicy sweetness, and carrot seeds lend a quietly earthy undertone. The drydown softens into fig and dates, smoothed by ambrette, for a warm and gently sweet finish.

Rated at seven to ten hours, it holds through a full day at work. It suits spring and summer, and its elegant, modern feel fits office hours, daytime plans and casual outings. Anyone who wants a fresh, green scent with some warmth beneath it will find it easy to reach for.
