DRIES VAN NOTEN 
Crazy Basil

An intensely green fragrance where basil is given centre stage. Crazy Basil is an overdose of freshness, as the use of absolu results in an aromatic generosity that wraps around a hot core of cedarwood. Like a vibrant expression of a herb garden amplified by amber richness and resinous accents, it brings new dynamism to this sun-drenched plant. With chromatic intensity and affirming the master of colour that is true to Dries Van Noten, the bottle boasts a minimalist duet of green; clear and cool, warm and saturated.

Don’t rub perfume into your skin. Spray it onto your pulse points. Where you store your perfume matters, store it in a cool, dark and dry place. Feel free to spray your clothes. Apply it post-shower (it will absorb better into the skin). Moisturize first.
