Armand Basi

Armand Basi is a Spanish fashion and lifestyle brand. It was founded by Mercedes Basi who opened her first store in Barcelona, Spain, in the 1940s. She specialized in knitwear made of high quality Scottish yarn. Her store was financially successful and in 1958 her sons, Armand and Josep, were able to take control of the operations. 

In order to define their style on the next level, Armand Basi broke into new terrain: Fragrances. Armand Basi Homme is a woody, spicy and warm scent for men with dominant notes of benzoin, cinnamon, vanilla, sandalwood, nutmeg, lavender and incense. Armand Basi Femme is a fragrance for women that is built around citruses, coriander, violet, jasmine, rose, cassia, musk, vanilla and amber. In Blue, another fragrance for men, features intense notes of citruses, woods and spices. The ladies version, In Red, is composed of prominent notes of citruses, ginger, lily and woody notes.

Armand Basi fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Olivier Cresp, Jean-Pierre Bethouart, Fabrice Pellegrin, Sylvie Fischer, Alberto Morillas, Francis Kurkdjian, Francoise Caron, Alienor Massenet and Nathalie Lorson.
