By the editors · 2 min readBasil snaps open with a cool, peppery-green blade that slices through the first minutes. A dewy jasmine and soft red rose bloom together, the jasmine adding indolic lift while the rose folds in a faint powder that blunts the basil’s edge. Vanilla steadies the heart, turning the petals creamy and adding a gentle bakery warmth without overt sweetness; musk shepherds everything into clean skin. Over two hours the green flash subsides, leaving a pale almond-like creaminess where vanilla dominates and rose lingers as a pastel wash. Projection stays within arm’s length, making it office-friendly yet interesting; wear it through spring mornings and cool summer evenings when you want quiet, green-tinged freshness that settles into a soft, barely powdered skin aura.
