Al Basel

Al Basel opens with a bright, herbal snap—lemon and sage converging into something green and almost medicinal—before cinnamon and praline arrive to soften the edges into warmth. Black cardamom adds a dusty spice, tolu balsam wraps it in resinous sweetness, and the fragrance settles into a rich, earthy base: black amber and leather ground against patchouli's dark soil, with Brazilian rosewood threading a woody, almost creamy line through the close. Sensual and grounded.
