Milano Fragranze Basilica is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Violaine Collas. Basilica opens with Rosemary and Thyme, settles into a heart of Milk, Labdanum, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Woody, and Cedar. Milano Fragranze's Basilica carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.

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.
