O Boticário Azul Portinari is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Thierry Bessard. Azul Portinari opens with Water Accord, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Birch, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Sandalwood, Geranium, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Leather, and Amber. O Boticário's Azul Portinari carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Azul Portinari is an aquatic woody scent for men. A watery citrus opening gives way to sandalwood, nutmeg and geranium, then a base of vetiver, cedar, oakmoss and leather. It has more earthy depth than most fresh scents, and that is its strength.

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.

About

Azul Portinari opens with a water accord, bergamot, birch and mandarin, a cool, fresh and slightly green start. The heart brings sandalwood, nutmeg, geranium and woody notes, adding spice and a smooth wood core. The base is deeper than the opening suggests, with vetiver, Virginia cedarwood, oakmoss, leather, amber and musk. It is an aquatic-woody scent that starts light and ends dry and earthy, with a classic masculine feel.
