Botanicae Expressions Meraki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Miroslav Petkov. Meraki opens with Wild Strawberry, Fig, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cedar, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Botanicae Expressions's Meraki carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it a unique, creamy strawberry delight, others are scrubbing off a cloying, powdery mess. Try before you buy, obviously.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for close encounters like dates. While some find it too sweet for office, it's generally well-suited for casual wear, leaning more towards day than night. It's too distinct and potentially divisive for very formal settings or intense physical activity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Meraki opens with a jammy burst of wild strawberry, fig, and blackcurrant, creating a sweet and fruity introduction. As it settles, a floral heart of iris and violet emerges, lending a powdery softness, while cedar provides a subtle woody backbone. The dry down is a comforting blend of creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and warm vanilla, which lingers on the skin with an addictive warmth.
