A single note up top, Calabrian bergamot, so the introduction is over fast and basil — with geranium alongside — holds the ground almost immediately. Longevity of 4 out of 10 argues for keeping the bottle within reach. Pepper warms the close without breaking the green. Unisex, office and hot days.

Not rated yet — be the firstPurple basil, peppery and darker than the kitchen variety, softened by a rosy geranium and set on a dry patchouli, with a spiced trail. This is the herb bed rather than the fruit bowl. A green cologne for hot days.
