Summary
I'm not very fond of Neroli, but this Cologne have managed to change my opinion - the composition is so natural (not stuffy or artificial), that it is impossible to resist. The scent opens up with basil and citrus notes, then goes into Neroli, and after that brings a bit musky fragrance into the picture. A very original one, I must say, since before trying it for myself I can't recall ever smelling something similar on other people. It will appeal to both men and women being fresh and neutral in its nature. The scent holds for solid 4-5 hours. It is highly priced but the brand totally worth it (and not only in this Basil and Neroli variation) - it is memorable, unlike any other and totally posh.

Summary
I have this as a mini sized bottle, but it still has the great atomiser of the full sized version. This is the kind of attention to detail that I love about this brand. The top notes are uplifting and fresh and give this fragrance a wide appeal. Although the range is of cologne the fragrance is surprisingly long-lasting on the skin and warms to softer notes as time passes. Try spraying a little on your hair to make it last even longer!

I was hoping the fragrance would be a bit more 'peppery', but the top note of basil was very mild.
