What does Basilico & Fellini (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling the room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, which suits its unisex character.

It opens with basil and dragon fruit, green, cool and slightly fruity. In the heart, wild fig and violet add a floral, sweet softness. The base of green hay and vetiver settles it on a dry, grassy ground, with the spicy accord sitting quietly behind the greenery.
