Basil 38 (Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Basil 38 is a bold, green aromatic that puts basil front and center. The 2019 reformulation smoothed out some rough edges while keeping the herbaceous punch. It opens with a burst of fresh basil and mint, then settles into a warm, spicy heart of black pepper and geranium. The base is a soft, woody blend of vetiver and musk that lingers for hours.
