Basi Homme
Armand Basi (2001)

Great everyday/office scent, super smooth and laid back with nothing harsh coming off.

Only beef is that it just doesn't last long enough.

very underdoggish. great warm scent that reminds me of armani code. lasts awhile on me. citrus/amber opening that sticks around. great sillage with ok projection. for the price nobody can complain...

This was a blind purchase (a tester) and I am really glad I decided to try it. To my nose, this is Jacomo de Jacomo "junior" with a non-linear progression and a few nice wrinkles up to drydown. Jacomo de Jacomo in the black bottle is dominated by cloves, and I like that too; but if you are put off by the strength of the cloves in Jacomo, you might be more pleased with this.

The scent ingredients pyramid is not shown for this offering on the Basenotes site, so we are left to guess...but Basi Homme in the rounded-off square bottle seems to have a sort of lemony-clove start, changing to a Kenneth Cole RSVP wood-with-clove middle, and a soft sweetness with a hint of clove during the close-to-the-skin drydown.

I personally find this very enjoyable in its several progressions -- I wish it had greater longevity, but if it had longevity, it would probably be Jacomo de Jacomo....

Reminds me of other musky ambery scents like Burberry, Animale and Atman. Sweet and vanillic, it's the same ol' same ol'.

Such a great fragrance!! Fragrance doesn't get much better than this. I love tis one and am thoroughly enjoying my bottle and when asked what I'm wearing I'm tempted to tell guys it's Hi Karate or British Sterling (lol). I love the fragrance from the top notes to bottom notes and purchased it without smelling based on reviews and normally don't do that but was so pleasantly surprised with it when I opened the bottle. Thank you Armand Basi.

One of my favorites for men; my boyfriend smells wonderful when he wears this. Well balanced, refined, and sexy! As a woman, I'm tired of smelling all of the "fresh, aquatic" fragrances that have flooded the market for the past decade. They're pleasant enough, but have no sex appeal. Basi Homme gives that in abundance. I'm looking forward to smelling the original, and the women's version, too. Well done!
