About Basil
Aromatic notes — herbs, lavender, rosemary — give a fragrance a clean, slightly bitter herbal lift. Common in classic fougères.
As a member of the Aromatic family, basil typically appears in fragrances designed for occasions and weather where this character flatters the wearer most. Our guide to fragrance notes explains how top, heart, and base notes evolve over a wear.
