Vilhelm Parfumerie Basilico & Fellini is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Basilico & Fellini opens with Pitahaya and Basil, settles into a heart of Violet and Fig, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Grass, and Hay. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Basilico & Fellini carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and distinctive, Basilico & Fellini serves up a controversial, hyper-realistic green blast. Some find it a summer garden dream, others a Pesto nightmare or an anise overload. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

This scent bursts with an incredibly authentic, almost savoury basil, brightened by the elusive sweetness of pitahaya and a creamy fig note. As it settles, a dry, earthy blend of vetiver, grass, and hay emerges, creating a sun-drenched, herbaceous landscape. Violet adds a subtle powdery floral touch, though for some, a persistent liquorice or fennel note dominates.
