Basilica, from Milano Fragranze was released in 2021. The perfumer behind this creation is Violaine Collas. It has the top notes of Rosemary and Thyme, middle notes of Incense, Labdanum, and Milk, and base notes of Cedarwood, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, and Woody Notes.
Basilica from Milano Fragranze is a gourmand-adjacent spooky scent, it flirts with foodiness but it never actually goes there. It’s an eerie earthy musk (but think graveyards rather than gardens) creamy cedar and milky vanilla woods, and mysterious amber-myrrh resins, both warm and cool, enveloping and remote. It’s like a curmudgeonly ghost monk from a crumbling, haunted monastery has left the centuries-old ruins and paid a visit to a sweetly-bustling local bake sale
