Basilico & Fellini winks at the director Federico Fellini, who loved life's pleasures and filmed everyday life without embellishment. He is said to have always asked for more basil, an herb thought to be an aphrodisiac. The fragrance opens on the smell of a risotto bianco, as warm basil releases its minty, peppery facets.
Dragon fruit and basil give the momentum, then violet and wild fig bring a green, soft heart. Vetiver and green hay lay a dry, sunny, slightly earthy base. An aromatic that is at once fresh and gourmand.

Basilico & Fellini in detail
Vilhelm Parfumerie, a house with a Swedish name and New York roots, creates fragrances in Paris that each tell a scene inspired by the arts. Basilico & Fellini pays tribute to the film-maker Federico Fellini through the fresh basil of a risotto bianco: a green, luminous aromatic fragrance.
The official pyramid opens on dragon fruit and basil, a fresh, green, slightly fruity start. The heart pairs powdery violet and green, milky fig. The base brings together vetiver and hay, a dry, sunny foundation that evokes the Italian countryside.
Basilico & Fellini is worn by day, in spring and summer: lunch on a terrace, a walk, a hot day. It will suit anyone who loves green, aromatic fragrances.
Three aromatic fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Pacific Chill by Louis Vuitton finds basil again with blackcurrant and citrus; Thé Noir 29 by Le Labo brings together fig and vetiver around tea; Beach Hut Man by Amouage pairs vetiver with a damp greenery.
