Arbo

by Carlos Benaïm

O Boticário Arbo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Carlos Benaïm. The fragrance opens with Mint, Geranium, Petitgrain, and Fresh, settles into a heart of Green, Artemisia, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Arbo: Favourite

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.

About

Arbo launches with a vibrant burst of mint and sharp grapefruit, evoking a fresh, almost mentholated coolness. This invigorating opening swiftly transitions into a dominant green heart, redolent of crushed leaves and damp forest floor, with herbaceous hints of artemisia and sage. The dry down settles into a woody, mossy base of sandalwood and oakmoss, softened by a clean musk, leaving a lingering impression of a humid, natural landscape.
