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.

Its fresh, clean, and moderate profile makes it highly suitable for daily wear, including the office, as many reviewers noted its unoffensive nature. The impressive longevity for a freshie also makes it versatile, allowing it to transition from casual daytime to relaxed evening dates, though its fresh character isn't ideal for highly formal settings.

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.

About

Botica 214 Dark Mint opens with a vibrant, cooling blast of natural mint, brightened by zesty bergamot and a subtle sweetness from pear. As it settles, a sophisticated green heart of violet leaf and aromatic lavender emerges, underpinned by the clean, earthy presence of cedar. The base slowly reveals a smooth blend of warm amber, creamy tonka bean, and soft cashmeran, adding depth without sacrificing its fresh character.
