What does this note smell like?
A full green herbal material image, opening with fresh leaves and moving through spicy, anise-like facets to softer sweetness. It can connect bright citrus to aromatic herbs and drier woods. One documented Grand Vert basil absolute uses Ocimum basilicum stems and leaves, solvent-extracted then purified with ethyl alcohol. This explains an absolute example, not every perfume’s supplier, plant parts or formula; absolute does not guarantee greater strength or longer wear.
