By the editors · 2 min readBasil opens green and camphoraceous, slicing-sharp against the cool marine iodine of ambergris, creating an aromatic-salty lift that feels like crushed herbs on wet stone. Bergamot flashes quickly, allowing the heart’s rose to emerge clean and lightly spiced, its petals dusted with clean white musk that keeps the bloom airy rather than plush. Labdanum and amber in the base fold the earlier salt into a warm, resinous glow, letting the musk-rose tandem linger on skin with a low, golden hum. Projection stays within arm’s length for five hours, then settles to a translucent skin veil that still releases whispers of herb-flecked amber when warmed. Best in spring or early-fall cool evenings when its quiet radiance can read as relaxed elegance rather than statement perfume.
