Our verdict on Basilica: Statement

This one is an absolute sensation, a true Marmite scent. Some reckon it's a divine, unique church gourmand, others find it utterly unwearable, like burnt chicken or sour milk. If you're after something genuinely different and aren't afraid of a bit of controversy, Basilica is your huckleberry.

Its moderate projection and unique savoury gourmand profile make it a standout for casual wear or dates where you want to spark conversation. However, its unusual character and often polarising reception mean it's less suited for formal events, the office, or physical activity.

About

Basilica opens with a punchy, savoury blast of aromatic rosemary and thyme, instantly conjuring images of warm, herb-dusted bread. This herbaceous freshness soon folds into a creamy, lactonic heart, softened by the serene smokiness of labdanum and incense. The dry down settles into a woody, earthy embrace of cypriol and cedar, maintaining that unique savoury-gourmand edge that makes it so distinctive.
