VERBENA IN PERFUME

Verbena, sometimes called 'Vervain' or 'Verveine', are stunning flowering plants that appear in over 150 species and, when used in perfume, have a very distinct scent.

Native to subtropical America, they are mostly perennial flowers with small, five-petalled flowers in vibrant colours.

THE SCENT OF VERBENA

Surprisingly citrusy and fresh, these delicate plants can feel somewhat sherbety and clean. They often have subtle wood notes and occasionally an element of spice.

Although it is technically a 'Floral' ingredient, the scent of Verbena is classified under the Citrus family and is believed to have many stimulating therapeutic benefits. 


EXTRACTING VERBENA

Verbena oil is extracted using 'Steam Distillation'.

The highest quality Verbena oil is processed during Spring when the oil will contain powerful antioxidants N
erol, Citral and Verbascoside.


A VERY BRIEF HISTORY OF VERBENA

Verbena has been growing in the wild since antiquity. It was brought over to Europe by Spanish explorers during the Victoria Era and became popular in English Gardens.

It was commonly used to scent finger-bowls as high class social events and was dried for potpourri to scent the home before being introduced into perfume.

Verbena has been popularised through mentions in Gone with the Wind and Little House on the Prairie.
