In plain words

The main accords of Eau de Basilic Pourpre are fresh spicy and aromatic. It opens with Bergamot, reveals Basil and Geranium at its heart, and dries down to Spices and Patchouli. It fades fairly quickly and stays close to the skin; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
