Movies with a Touch of Basil. The unmistakable smell of risotto bianco and a minty, peppery kick as the ultra-fresh basil warms on the dish. Film director extraordinaire Federico Fellini wanted to show life in all its glorious reality – people eating, sleeping and making love – and was known to request extra servings of this herb, rumored to be an aphrodisiac.
Founder Jan Vilhelm Ahlgren’s inspiration: “A basil so pure that you can imagine having picked it from the garden and smelling it on your hands”.
Why we’re addicted: An exceedingly fresh, green exhilarating scent with mesmerizing qualities.
More than a perfume, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a library. If some scents are silences, these are tales. Within identical bottles, fragrances are so many narratives that call to all senses, housed in a hefty bottle of spun glass, designed by Pierre Dinand, dressed in a saffron yellow label that nods to a piece of Bakelite found in a Parisian flea market.
Northern lights and Hollywood highlights. North and South. Freshly cut grass and caressing oud. Bracing freshness and burning summer warmth. Simple pleasures and lavish times. Each fragrance is the culmination of a broad, creative and collaborative process – a rare blend of vintage and new that sparks recognition but not familiarity.
From its dynamic, innovative scents to the heritage design and timeless prints, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a nod to the past, expressed in our contemporary olfactory language and aesthetic.

"This is my first fragrance from Vilhelm and it won't be my last. This particular one is my new go to for a fresh scent. It's uniqueness is hard to describe but the basil definitely plays a big part. You can't go wrong with picking up a bottle of this! I've also sampled five other fragrances in this line and they are honestly all unique and wonderful. Maison Vilhelm rocks!"
