Basilica

My personal favourite from the brand. Interesting and likeable at the same time. Unique combination of herbal green facets mixed with a cozy creamy milkyness. The incense is pleasent and not overbearing at all.

I do love this parfum! It is so weird, I like weird things

Has a great staying power and complex journey throughout its wear. It's bright and energetic and kind of addicting and I want to douse myself in it. I love how it wears on my skin and it puts me in such a good mood. I rewatched Gladiator last night and am in the market for a perfume that smells like the final scene when Maximus crosses over to Elysium and meets his family in his home in the afterlife, among the rosemary and olive trees and wheat fields. This feels close to that. update: got a full bottle. literally can't stop spraying every time i look at the bottle. I love love love how this makes me feel.

Fresh stems of thyme in the opening, smells like you rubbed the stems in your hands until they get heated. Great if you want a fresher herbal scent. I wouldn't guess that the perfume had "milk" in it because the only thing I can smell is the herby thyme-stems & a smooth dry amber.

Basilica from Milano Fragranze is a gourmand-adjacent spooky scent, it flirts with foodiness but it never actually goes there. It’s an eerie earthy musk (but think graveyards rather than gardens) creamy cedar and milky vanilla woods, and mysterious amber-myrrh resins, both warm and cool, enveloping and remote. It’s like a curmudgeonly ghost monk from a crumbling, haunted monastery has left the centuries-old ruins and paid a visit to a sweetly-bustling local bake sale.
