Extremely difficult to find now especially in a large spray. Luckily I have a bottle when it first launched under the name of Basara and then later when they changed the name to Basala. Keep looking on Ebay. Sometimes it pops up on there.

Never heard of any reformulation. My Basara mini smells identical to my Basala bottle.

it's still being produced, but limited in distribution like dior jules.
if you can't find it, get joseph abboud. I think they are closely related.

I didn't find Abboud similar and was not impressed.

a friend of mine who bought a brand new bottle recently. got my decant from him.
and I'm surprised you didn't like joseph abboud. similarity is a problematic subject anyways.

very true man. so where did he buy this brand new bottle?! turkey? after smelling it for the first time, i snapped up the first 2 i saw on BN last year.

one thing i've found is the longevity of Basala is not stellar. i was thinking of layering it with Untitled #8 to get some animal fierceness and prolonging the ride.

the only frag in the area of Basala i have tried is Jaguar Mark II which is possibly even harder to find. delish.
