What does Intenso di Basilico smell like?

Bergamot, mandarin orange and pink pepper give a bright, lightly spicy citrus opening. In the heart, tea, basil and jasmine bring out the floral and green side, while vetiver, patchouli and cashmeran set the scent on a woody foundation. Fruity and synthetic touches run through the accords as well.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate, though the sample is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits those looking for a light, fresh everyday scent. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Essenza and Sisley Eau de Sisley 1 have a close profile.
