Voyage à Rodrigues Basalte — a fragrance with an island character
Voyage à Rodrigues Basalte is a 2024 eau de parfum from Voyage à Rodrigues, a fragrance brand from Mauritius.
The composition was created for women and men, offering a modern interpretation of a woody-spicy fragrance with fruity and tea nuances.
Basalte was created by perfumer Ralf Schwieger.
His work is built around an expressive contrast: a fresh citrus opening gradually becomes darker and deeper, then softens into dry woody nuances and a clean musky veil.
Basalte’s character and development
The fragrance evolves noticeably as it develops.
At first, Basalte smells energetic and sparkling, then adds spicy sharpness, fruity richness and a subtle tea nuance, before leaving a confident vetiver-woody trail in the base.
The eau de parfum has very strong sillage, making it a good choice for those who enjoy noticeable compositions and want their perfume to remain present for more than an hour after application.
It is especially striking in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk or whenever a rich fragrance becomes part of the overall look.
Who will enjoy this fragrance
Basalte is a versatile unisex perfume with no strict connection to age or style.
It may appeal to fans of spicy, fruity and woody compositions who are interested in uncomplicated citrus fragrances with a more layered and distinctive development.
The exact dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified for this release; however, given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and assess how it develops on your own skin.
No additional concentrations of Basalte are listed in the available data.
