Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Basilico & Fellini begins with a bright start, where basil and jackfruit create a juicy and spicy accord, reminiscent of fresh greens and exotic fruits.

In the heart of the composition, fig and violet unfold, adding soft sweetness and floral tenderness, which smoothly transition to the base.

Here, grass, hay, and vetiver form a stable and warm finish, enveloping the skin with an atmosphere of coziness and natural harmony.

This journey from freshness to depth makes the fragrance multifaceted and captivating, perfectly suited for those who appreciate complex and emotional compositions in perfumery.

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.

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

I recently got a decant, and I can say it's simply a gem! I already liked this perfume in the store, and now I'm just thrilled. Violet is present here, but not too intrusive. The fruity notes are very soft, nothing stands out from the overall scent, nothing interferes. There isn't too much greenness in the fragrance, which I'm happy about, everything sounds harmonious. Basil adds interest but doesn't tire with its brightness. This fragrance is wonderfully refreshing in summer. Rating - five stars!!

The scent really caught my attention. It has the freshness of basil, the lightness of fig leaf, as well as notes of dried herbs and violet powder. Overall, I really like it 🌿
4/5

The fragrance really pleases with its fruity and citrus notes, creating a feeling of freshness. Although I would say it's more suitable for men, its versatility is undeniable. Citrus accents clearly dominate here, and this gives it a special brightness
5/5

An excellent summer fragrance that truly attracts attention. On me, it revealed notes of basil and fig, as well as a light powdery violet. There's a freshness of mown grass, as if just from the field, and even a bit dried under the scorching sun. This scent gives a feeling of lightness and joy, lifts the mood, and creates an atmosphere of carelessness
4/5

The scent is really pleasing, basil is clearly noticeable in it. Fig is also present, as already mentioned. Overall, it's fresh and very natural, creating a pleasant feeling 🌿
5/5

The fragrance is not bad, of course, but you can't say it's super. It's lively, yes, but somehow too obtrusively green. This fruity tartness, frankly, is irritating, and the powder is completely out of place. There's something unusual about it, but I can't understand why it's needed. All in all, it didn't impress me
5/5

What a wonderful and exquisite fragrance! Fig leaves and forest violet create an incredible combination. On cold skin, it can transform into something fresh and clean, reminiscent of lightness and well-groomed elegance. Simply delightful! 🌸
5/5

The fragrance is really pleasant, it's subtle and beautiful. I felt all the stages of its development. In the beginning, it's fresh and juicy, most likely thanks to citrus and basil. In the second stage, it becomes a bit drier, perhaps it's hay and violet. And in the final stage, interesting notes appear, reminiscent of pickled cucumbers, which seems to be vetiver. It has a beautiful sillage, and its longevity is simply excellent. A very unusual scent, it captivated me, even these 'cucumbers' don't bother me. I noticed that fig fragrances often resemble each other, they always convey it similarly, just somewhere it's drier, and somewhere juicier. I recommend trying this fragrance and will definitely continue my acquaintance with Vilhelm Parfumerie fragrances
5/5

Green fragrances usually make me dizzy, but this one was an exception. It truly delights, fresh and bright, like purity itself. The smell of green soap, basil, and grass is very clearly felt. However, fig and sweet fruity notes, unfortunately, are not perceptible to me
5/5
5
The summer version is not bad, of course. Grass, hay, basil, violet, and fig - all together create a rather pleasant impression. But there's something about this fragrance that bothers me. Natural notes, yes, but sometimes it feels like something is missing. There's no synthetic feel here, which is good, but deep down, there's a lingering sense of emptiness
5/5

This fragrance is truly unique; basil blends beautifully with other notes in it. It sounds very interesting and at the same time exquisite. I highly recommend trying it, it's a true masterpiece of perfumery 🌟
4/5

Fig is present here, but for me, it's more like an unripe fruit than a leaf. The smell of fig leaves is quite specific, and I wouldn't call it pleasant. The greenery is fresh, with a light powdery touch. But I like the scent itself, it's not trivial and sounds very harmonious 🌿
3/5

At first, yes, it was interesting, but then everything went wrong. A sharp note appears in the drydown, like stinky plastic, and this sweetness with fruits is just annoying. In the end, it quickly got on my nerves
3/5

The smell of forest creatures, all sorts of lovely critters hiding in the shadows. For me, it's too ephemeral, but when you manage to catch it, it's truly captivating. Fig leaves and minty basil leaves create a light, slightly dry composition that gives off a delicate powder 🌲
4/5

The scent is truly amazing, fresh, with notes of basil and fig. The violet isn't too intrusive, which is nice. And the herbaceous accents of green and hay add interest. Vetiver gives it a certain strictness, but that only emphasizes its character. Unisex, which is also pleasant. Doesn't cause fatigue
