Friendly Christmas Tree
I am certainly no connoisseur. Most of the time, I wander aimlessly through the perfume department of KaDeWe and let myself be sprayed until I feel nauseous.
However, if my rubbery nose and my pathetic expertise (after all, I was at Douglas and sniffed all facets of a freshly cleaned toilet bowl in Torino21) can hold onto one thing with overwhelming probability, it is the indisputable greatness of Crazy Basil.
Sure, the name is completely uninspired, and one might expect a neon green schnapps in a rundown corner pub that makes your face melt off, but that would be overly pedantic nitpicking.
The perfume starts off herbaceous and fresh with basil, citrus, moss, and pine needles. If I were to describe it, it smells like a cedar cone with mandarin peel. On the skin, the woods come out over time, and the scent suddenly becomes surprisingly warm, yet retains its ethereal notes, and one would now have completed the transformation to a sauna bench with birch infusion. It remains like this until the end.
I have no idea if there is anything comparable on the market. At least, I couldn't get a solid answer on that. The price is, of course, absurdly high and not really justifiable, but at least the bottle is quite pretty. For me, the perfume would be a Newfoundland lumberjack in a red checkered shirt, sitting in his underwear at -14 degrees Celsius...
Let's leave aside these questionable "with the 230 Euro perfume, you're an XYZ and I definitely don't get any commission for this nonsense" descriptions. Fantastic for everyday use if you like understated, natural scents and coniferous forests.
