Basilico & Fellini

Basilico & Fellini by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a vibrant, refreshing green fragrance centered around real, photorealistic basil that unfolds into a complex harmony of fig, sweet hay, and vetiver. The opening is intensely green and herbal, with a lively basil presence that some describe as culinary—reminiscent of freshly cut leaves, pesto, or even a dish of sautéed herbs—but the scent quickly transforms into something more nuanced and balanced. It features a soft, creamy fig note that blends seamlessly with the green accords, while vetiver and hay contribute a dry, earthy depth. The fragrance is best enjoyed in warm weather, particularly spring and summer, where its bright, airy quality shines. It wears close to the skin with moderate sillage and feels like a true summer moment—fresh, natural, and evocative of a sunlit garden or market with herbage and ripe fruit.
