What do reviewers say about Stercus and Basala?
It wears its character without apology. The aldehydes provide an initial bright, crystalline quality, but underneath there's an animalic warmth that less assertive fragrances would clean away.Stercus
The 1990s were drowning in aquatics and clean freshies. Basala went the opposite direction, a bold, leathery chypre with enough herbal complexity to smell like nothing else on the market.Basala
