Botanicae Expressions Itaca is a Parfum. Itaca opens with Davana, settles into a heart of Salt, Rose, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Oud, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Botanicae Expressions's Itaca carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Itaca is a dry, earthy blend of davana, rose and salt over a base of oakmoss, patchouli and oud. It is serious and a little unusual rather than crowd-pleasing. A good fit for anyone who likes mossy, resinous scents.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Itaca opens with davana, a fruity and herbal note, and moves into a heart of rose, salt and labdanum. The rose is set against salt and the amber-like resin of labdanum, which gives a slightly briny, warm and dry feel instead of a sweet floral. The base of oakmoss, patchouli and oud is earthy, mossy and dark. Overall it is a mossy, resinous scent with a salty edge, more thoughtful than easy.
