When a tiny ' , makes the difference... it's tea, basilic, blackcurrant and verbena in this perfume that form its delighfully refreshing sour green character. If you loved Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria experiments in the noughties - Thé Basilic is their worthy heir.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Thé Basilic suits the pause between a busy morning and the next appointment: sleeves rolled back, a glass of unsweetened iced tea within reach. Basil and tart blackcurrant give it an alert, brisk presence, while the tea accord keeps the mood composed rather than sporty.
How to wear
A natural choice for spring and warm summer days, when its leafy, tart character feels especially refreshing. Start with two or three sprays on the neck and forearms for an airy impression; apply beneath clothing if you prefer the softer tea-and-musk side to sit closer to the skin.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to unsweetened tea scents, aromatic herbs and tart fruit rather than sugary freshness. Its basil-led green character will appeal to wearers who enjoy cologne-like brightness but want the softer texture of tea leaves and musk.
Release year
2019
Molinard’s story
An independent, family-owned house rooted in Grasse, Molinard combines traditional craftsmanship with creative freedom. Its approach embraces ingredients from both nature and science, treating perfume as a source of personal pleasure and memory rather than a response to passing trends.
Thé Basilic’s concept
Thé Basilic imagines a meeting between Sri Lanka’s green tea-growing hills and the basil of southern France. Part of the La Fraîcheur collection, it translates that landscape into an infusion-like eau de parfum, balancing vivid aromatic freshness with the serenity of tea.
Extra info
Thé Basilic belongs to La Fraîcheur alongside Gingembre, Citrus Noir and Méditerranée. Its official pyramid places verbena in the base with musk, rather than in the opening. The scent also extends into body care and a separate home fragrance.
