Exclusive to Liberty, Vilhelm Parfumerie's Basilico & Fellini eau de parfum is inspired by Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini's legendary liking for basil.
Another arresting tale from the brand's library of scent, Basilico & Fellini is an ode to the bon vivant whose work portrayed life in all its glorious reality. It is said that Fellini requested extra servings of basil for its apparent aphrodisiac effect – and this fragrance recalls the minty, peppery kick as the ultra-fresh basil warms on his risotto bianco.
Top notes: Dragon Fruit, Basil. Middle notes: Violet, Wild Fig. Base notes : Vetiver, Green Hay.
