Basilico & Fellini

Basilico & Fellini, released by Vilhelm Parfumerie in 2017, is mainly green, with woody, floral and aromatic sides in support.

The top notes are fresh and unusual: pitahaya, or dragon fruit, brings a light, watery and subtly sweet fruitiness, and basil a green, peppery and slightly aniseed herbal note. In the heart, fig gives a green, milky and slightly sweet note, and violet a soft, powdery floral touch. The base is grassy and earthy: hay brings a warm, sun-dried sweetness, green grass a fresh, cut-lawn greenness and vetiver an earthy, rooty dryness.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, and its sillage is mostly described as moderate or close to the skin. It is voted mainly for summer and spring, and almost entirely as a daytime scent. It is worn by anyone and suits warm days, the office and outdoor occasions, for people who like green, herbal and grassy fragrances with a soft fig and violet touch, and who prefer the smell of an Italian summer garden to anything sweet or heavy.
