Basalte

Basalte by Voyage à Rodrigues is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Basalte was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Gino Percontino. Top notes are Bergamot, Cardamom, Fig and Lemon; middle notes are Patchouli, Red Tea, Pepper, Timur and Dried Plum; base notes are Bourbon Vetiver, Cedarwood and Musk. Basalte is a bold, captivating fragrance, drawing inspiration from the volcanic origins of Rodrigues Island. Like the island itself, Basalte is shaped by the raw power of nature, a convergence of earth and ocean, where rugged gray stone stands as a steadfast barrier against the relentless forces of the sea. The fragrance opens with an eruption of spicy notes—vibrant Cardamom and exotic Timur Pepper. This fiery start is tempered by the comforting warmth of Fig, Plum, and rich Tea, creating an elegant contrast that reflects the island’s duality: a place both fierce and inviting. The deep, earthy Vetiver Bourbon adds a grounding touch, connecting the scent to the fertile soil tended by Rodrigues’ planters. A fragrance of opposition, Basalte represents the enduring resilience of Rodrigues Island.
