Fragrance information:

The world first encountered Basala by Shiseido in 1993. A masculine fragrance rooted in the chypre and aromatic families. Perfumer Dominique Preyssas is the author behind this composition. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.

It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. A single bottle goes a long way: longevity is very high. Produced in Japan, and you can feel it in every note. Basala Shiseido — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Basala unfolds as an expressive line of development, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Shiseido is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.

At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Aromatic, Citrus, Fruit and Green. The palette also extends to Floral, Spicy, Whiteflower and Wood.

At the opening of the pyramid you catch spicy-green opening notes: Basil, Bergamot, Clary Sage and Fruit note.

At the core of development you sense Caraway, Cinnamon, Clove, Jasmine, Rose and Spruce holding a spicy-aromatic direction.

The accord profile is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Fruit, Musc, Wood and Amber expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration Very high indicates a stable lasting impression.

In summary Basala sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.
