O Boticário 2002 EDP
Arbo
O Boticário Arbo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Carlos Benaïm. Arbo opens with Fresh Notes, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Sage, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. O Boticário's Arbo carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
Arbo is a divisive but iconic green scent. It's either a fresh, invigorating forest expedition or an overly sweet, artificial mess. Performance-wise, expect average longevity but a respectable sillage that won't overpower a room.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, green, and clean profile makes it highly suitable for everyday casual wear and can work for sports. Its moderate sillage and lack of strong sweetness make it acceptable for office environments, while its casual vibe reduces its suitability for dates or formal events.
