By the editors · 2 min readA short, herbal sketch built around basil at the top — the note treated as cologne material rather than culinary, sharp and green for a few minutes before yielding to spice. Despite the name, no literal liquorice appears in the listed pyramid.
The heart turns warm: ginger gives a peppery lift, nutmeg adds dry sweetness, and patchouli runs an earthy thread underneath, roundening the spice without making it heavy. The composition stays narrow — a pared spice study rather than a full development.
The base flattens to a single, clean musk. Wears close to the skin and finishes within a few hours. A summer fragrance for casual contexts, the kind of thing applied liberally and reapplied without thinking about it.
