Description
The story behind this fragrance
Basala opens with a sharp green thrust—artemisia and basil striking first, then lavender and neroli softening into something herbal and bright. Bergamot threads through alongside rosemary's mineral bite, creating an almost medicinal clarity. The heart pivots toward warmth: carnation and rose bloom gently while caraway's spice and cinnamon add unexpected depth, grounded by earthy fir. As it settles, oakmoss and leather emerge from beneath, anchored by cedar and patchouli, with coconut lending a subtle sweetness against the amber's resinous warmth. The finish hovers between aromatic and animalic—musk and labdanum creating a skin-close, intimate close.
