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.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and smooth, warm accords make it suitable for various settings, though perhaps a bit too cosy for high-energy sports. Many reviewers highlighted its wearability in the office, but it truly shines in cooler weather casual or date night scenarios.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Botafumeiro opens with a bright and peppery kick of nutmeg and pink pepper, underpinned by a hint of fresh bergamot. It quickly deepens into a rich, warm heart where labdanum and subtle florals weave around a smooth, non-churchy incense. The drydown reveals a velvety base of styrax, musk, and continued amber, creating a sweet, smoky, and resinous embrace that lingers beautifully.
