🌶️ The Inspiration: The Spice Market
Basil leaves drying next to piles of cloves and peppers. Spiced Basil Clove amplifies the spicy undertones of the Basil Grand Vert found in Tacit. It warms up the fresh scent, making it richer, darker, and more autumnal.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Heat and Leaf
The scent opens with Basil and Pink Pepper. The heart is Clove Bud and Cinnamon Leaf. The base is Vetiver and Amber. It is a "Hot Green" scent.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Spice
-
Clove Bud (Madagascar): Warm, spicy, and woody.
-
Basil Grand Vert: High eugenol content (clove-like smell).
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Confidence
Spicy scents signal confidence and assertiveness. Spiced Basil Clove is a power scent. It projects warmth and strength.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It's unexpected. It starts fresh but dries down warm and spicy. It's the winter version of Tacit."
