Armand Basi Basi Femme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000. Basi Femme opens with Green Notes, Fruity Notes, Lemon, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Cassia, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. Armand Basi's Basi Femme carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a curious beast; some find it a comforting, quiet embrace, while others are baffled by its damp, woody oddness. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a brisk, green burst of lemon and a hint of coriander, Basi Femme quickly settles into a more unusual heart. Here, a delicate bouquet of rose and violet is unexpectedly spiced with pink pepper and a unique cassia note, offering a wine-like, juicy depth. The dry down is a cosy, woody musk, woven with sweet vanilla and praline, grounded by earthy oakmoss and the distinctive presence of rosewood.
