The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel, Rock The Ages Geranium & Verbena by Jo Malone London is a fresh and aromatic fougère that captures the essence of crisp, invigorating scents. The fragrance opens with bright bergamot and basil, punctuated by the freshness of vervain and geranium. This vibrant opening gives way to a heart of neroli, coumarin, and vetiver, creating an intriguing contrast between floral brightness and earthy warmth. The base notes of patchouli, cedar, and vanilla add depth and complexity, grounding the composition in subtle spiciness and woody richness.
Rock The Ages Geranium & Verbena opens brightly but settles into its base notes within an hour. For best effect, apply it to pulse points for a steady presence throughout the day. It's particularly suited for daytime wear when the freshness of the top notes can be fully appreciated.
