Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The only synthetics are Calone, Hedione, Habanolide and ISO, and they’re superb, perhaps with Javanol to add body. The rest smells like essential oils, too natural for words; I love it. One of the few I’d give a 10/10. It varies with the climate and humidity. It’s therapeutic, relaxing, cheerful, sophisticated, ethereal and versatile – I wear it in winter and summer. On my skin, the mint dominates and finishes with tea, reminding me of the drink ‘Free Tea’. Despite basil being in the name, I don’t detect it; Mandarine Basilic has five times more presence. Projection and sillage are moderate, and the longevity has never dropped below seven hours.

Superbly natural and realistic basil. It starts pungent but descends elegantly and gradually into a sweeter herbal accord. I didn’t notice the citrus notes they mention. Does it resemble Torino 21? Yes and no; they share notes but follow different paths: Xerjoff has more citrus and mint, while Molinard is more herbal with abundant basil. Both could live perfectly together in a collection.

Totally green perfume: mint, tea, lemon balm and above all, too much basil. It smells like a garden bed wet after rain. Does it resemble Torino 21? In Torino 21, the mint and lemon dominate, whereas here the basil rules. Torino seems tastier to me. The longevity of The Basilic is 3–4 hours if stretched, which is quite tight. I stuck with Torino 21; it costs more but smells better.
Green to the maximum: mint, tea, lemon balm and a basil that truly rules. It smells like a garden bed wet after rain. How does it compare to Torino 21? In the 21, the mint and lemon shine, whereas here the basil is the undisputed queen. I find Torino much richer. As for longevity, The Basilic lasts about 3–4 hours if stretched, which is quite tight. I stuck with Torino 21; it costs more but smells better to me.
Green, green, green… and even greener. Basil, mint, tea and citrus, with the basil as the absolute queen. I suspect there’s an unwritten note of tomato leaf; it smells just like my grandparents’ garden with tomatoes and basil in sight. It’s curious, realistic and evocative, very natural, but don’t buy it blindly if you’re not a basil fan. Performance is decent, around four hours, always in close proximity. Ideal for spring/summer – don’t take it out of that season. I love it for the good memories it brings back.
Green, green, green… and even greener. Basil, mint, tea and citrus, with the basil in charge. It sounds like there’s an unwritten note of tomato leaf; it smells exactly like my grandparents’ garden with tomatoes and basil nearby. Curious, realistic and evocative, it feels natural, but don’t buy it blindly if you’re not a basil fan. Performance is regular, about four hours in a personal environment. Only for spring/summer. I love it for the good memories it brings back.
