Baasil

Baasil opens with oud and cardamom placed side by side. The spice is crisp and slightly resinous. Neroli adds a bright, green lift that keeps the entrance from feeling too heavy.

Cedar enters the heart and gives the oud a drier, straighter line. The wood feels carved rather than crushed. There is a herbal edge that keeps the center cool even while the warmth builds.

Patchouli and amber settle in the base with a dark, earthy weight. The amber is resinous and deep, not sugary or bright. The blend stays woody throughout and does not drift into floral or gourmand territory.

This suits someone who wants oud without sweetness and prefers dry woods over polished ones. It works best in cool weather and evening settings. The scent sits close to worn leather and old cedar chests.
