By the editors · 2 min readCrushed basil cuts through first, green and slightly anise-tinged, immediately joined by a clean herbal lavender. The opening reads spare and aromatic, more Mediterranean garden than perfumery counter.
Lavender carries the heart almost alone, the basil receding into a quieter backdrop. The composition stays linear here, content to dwell on the herb-and-flower pairing without rushing into sweetness or smoke.
Sandalwood, benzoin and musk drift in at the base, the wood creamy, the benzoin lending a soft balsamic warmth that finally rounds the dry top. Overall character is calm and uncomplicated, a herbal-lavender skin scent that suits warm afternoons and quiet evenings, projecting gently and lasting on cotton longer than skin.
