From your scent profile
Armand Basi Basi Homme Eau de Toilette is a woody fougère for men that opens with Chinese tea, bergamot and rosewood and settles on oakmoss and cedar, with a sweet, spicy edge; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.

FougèreWhat does Basi Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. There are no season or occasion votes, so it is hard to say when it suits best.
The opening is light and clean, with tea, bergamot and coriander. Towards the heart, pepper, mint and nutmeg add spice while lotus softens the floral side. The base of oakmoss, cedar and sandalwood gives it a dry, woody footing, and musk rounds it off with a powdery sweetness.
