One wants to suppress yawning - harmless, natural understatement
The Italian brand Basile, which owes its 27-year-old "Basile uomo" to old-school fans of green and spicy scents, is not particularly original in its bottle design and has finally mustered the courage to return to "Style" after many years of creative pause.
I am not quite sure if it was a good idea to take a good 20 years to bring something new to the market.
Without a doubt: "Style," just 4 years old, smells nice, smells natural, smells well-groomed.
But unfortunately, that’s about it. The enthusiasm that I often feel for the rarely seen Italian niche fragrances in Germany is almost completely absent here.
A very subtly sweet-herbaceous opening of Artemisia, lightly refreshed by citrusy bergamot.
The only somewhat "covering" spice note is sage, but it is dosed homeopathically. Jasmine evokes very light floral impressions, while (the not particularly loved by me) guaiac wood comes through early, presenting itself somewhat waxy and rubbery-woody - as is often the case.
Unfortunately, there is also no heart phase component that could hold a counterbalance to the very shallow base for long. I hardly notice the vetiver.
The scent drifts along, is certainly universally applicable and gives a well-groomed impression.
In its well-groomed understatement and naturalness, it is undoubtedly above the mainstream level of most current Bvlgari, Baldessarini, etc., but it is also miles away from being an interesting purchase candidate. Boring.
