Armand Basi Basi Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart. Basi Homme opens with Bergamot, Rosewood, Coriander, and Tea, settles into a heart of Lotus, Pepper, Sage, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Armand Basi's Basi Homme carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive scent for some, but for many, it's a beautifully blended, warm, and sophisticated woody-spicy fragrance with unexpected freshness. It's a proper grown-up scent without being stuffy.

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.

About

Basi Homme opens with an inviting burst of fresh bergamot and the rich, subtle warmth of rosewood, softened by a hint of tea. As it settles, a cool mint and peppery spice emerge, creating a clean yet intriguing heart. The dry-down delivers a comforting blend of soft woody notes, smooth amber, and a touch of vanilla, offering a refined and enveloping finish.
