ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE:
The unmistakable smell of risotto bianco and a minty, peppery kick as the ultra fresh basil warms on the dish. A bon vivant who wanted to show life in all its glorious reality--people eating, sleeping and making love--Federico Fellini was said to request extra servings of this herb, rumored to be an aphrodisiac.
More than a perfume, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a library. If some scents are silences, these are tales. Northern lights and Hollywood highlights. North and South. Freshly cut grass and caressing oud. Bracing freshness and burning summer warmth. Simple pleasures and lavish times. Each fragrance is the culmination of a broad, creative and collaborative process--a rare blend of vintage and new that sparks recognition but not familiarity. From its dynamic, innovative scents to the heritage design and timeless prints, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a nod to the past, expressed in our contemporary olfactory language and aesthetic.

Very niche fragrance
Truly one of the most unique perfumes I have ever smelled. I wouldn’t recommend this fragrance unless you are willing to explore a very new type of scent. I was surprised to read the notes and see that there is no licorice, because that’s what I get a strong scent of! I suppose it’s the basil. Definitely try it before you buy it. This is too niche for my everyday wear, but I think it would be pleasant at an outdoor venue on a summer day.
Fresh & Green
Fresh, herbaceous and unique. Something I'd like to wear on a trip in Italy, dining al fresco.

Probably not for everyone
This is truly the most unusual fragrance I’ve ever purchased. The basil jumps out of the bottle and smacks you when you first apply it but as it dries down it smells like heaven. If you want to be remembered for the fragrance you leave when you exit a room, this is the one for you.
