The Story
Basala Silver is a crisp, aromatic fougère that feels like a cool breeze through a pine forest. It opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and lavender, then settles into a clean, woody heart of geranium and cedar. The base is a soft, musky blend of oakmoss and tonka bean. It's a no-nonsense scent that's perfect for everyday wear.
