SpicyWhat does Foglie di Basilico smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than leaving a heavy trail. Most voters pick it for daytime, leisure and work, while evening and night out play a smaller part.
It opens with the brightness of bergamot, and basil in the heart adds a green, spicy touch. Sage in the base keeps it dry and herbal, and the accords add a soft fruity edge. Le Labo Colette 19 and Zuma Bergamotto have a close profile.
