A bright, lemony-citrus opening with a distinctly green, grassy edge — sharper and more herbaceous than lemon oil itself. "Spanish Verbena" is typically a Litsea cubeba or lemongrass-based reconstruction rather than true Lippia citriodora, so the profile leans toward a clean, tart citral character with a slightly soapy, aldehydic dry-down.AI · claude-opus-4-7
