Bringing the World into Your Home

From fertile pampas to lush tropics, lyrical Argentina has the sophisticated air of old-world Europe with a distinctly South American flavor. That’s where bright verbena thrives, while bamboo adds an elegant Asian twist.

A profuse bloomer, verbena is a perennial indigenous to South America. Seventeenth-century Spanish explorers marveled at the bright citrus scent of its leaves, which produce an extremely fresh, sweet and fruity essential oil. Before long, verbena found its way from the New World of Argentina and Chile to European gardens.

Meanwhile, bamboo is legendary for its strength and rapid regeneration. A native of China, where giant pandas call it lunch, bamboo is known by its hollow yellow canes and delicate green leaves. Used in food, construction and industry of all types, bamboo contains antioxidant flavonoids, credited with reducing inflammation, and silica, a natural mineral believed to help rebalance, reenergize and fortify the body.

From Argentina, Verbena Is Citrus Fresh; Asian Bamboo Adds Balmy Air Notes

Together, Verbena Bamboo evokes the place where genteel, cosmopolitan cities brush up against ancient cultures, bringing you the best of both worlds. Lively tangelo, sparkling verbena and refreshing pamplemousse unfurl across the pampas into a shimmering rainforest. Heart notes of yellow peony and blue freesia flower against a backdrop of blond woods.
