Wild Verbena is an essential oil difficult to describe as it changes over in minutes of application. I used it with jojoba oil as a single oil perfume. First I enjoyed it for its fresh green scent and later on a pepperry scent came out of it. Very attracting smell. Lovely !

Holly Cow! This one is strong! Careful if you have not experienced it before, I ordered the 1/6 oz size to experiment with and when I opened it and took a big whif, it was like getting slapped in the face, hard! I was not expecting such an herbal, almost weedy scent. I'm pleased with it, but I'm sure it will need taming in a blend.
