No.484 Basil & Neroli

Eden's No.484 goes straight for the simplicity that makes Jo Malone's Basil & Neroli so appealing, opening with a crisp, herbal basil note that reads almost like fresh orange juice next to citrus. Neroli takes over through the heart, bringing an elegant orange-blossom character that keeps the whole composition light and green rather than sweet or heavy. The base is understated, just enough vetiver and white musk to add a clean, slightly woody anchor without weighing the fragrance down. It's built as a minimal, easy-to-wear scent for warm weather, ideal for anyone who prefers understated freshness over statement sillage. Performance is on the lighter side, typical of cologne-style compositions, so expect a few hours of close-wear freshness rather than an all-day presence. It's a sensible, wallet-friendly way to try the fresh basil-neroli pairing that made the original so popular, even if it doesn't project with quite the same polish.
