🍃 The Inspiration: The Garden by the Sea
A herb garden growing on the edge of the sea. Coastal Basil Breeze takes the supporting basil note of the original and makes it the star. It is spicy, green, and incredibly fresh. It smells like salt spray on fresh basil leaves.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Salty Herbs
Fresh Basil and Lemon open the scent with a spicy zest. The heart is Sea Salt and Myrtle. The base is Driftwood. It is savory, crisp, and cooling.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Kitchen Garden
-
Basil Oil (Linalool Type): Sweet, floral, and spicy.
-
Sea Salt Accord: Mineral and savory.

🧠 The Scent Psychology: Clarity
Basil is a stimulant. It wakes up the mind. Coastal Basil Breeze is perfect for focus and concentration. It cuts through the fog.
🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology
We used Headspace Technology to capture the scent of living basil plants. This prevents the "pesto" effect of cooked basil, keeping it smelling like the fresh leaf on the stem.

Where to spray: Wrists and arms.
Style pairing: Summer whites, green accessories, casual chic.
💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"This is so refreshing. It's not sweet at all. It's green, salty, and spicy. It reminds me of eating lunch on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean."
