O Boticário Capricho is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2001, created by Adilson Rato. Capricho opens with Red Fruits, Green Notes, Bergamot, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Jasmine, Freesia, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. O Boticário's Capricho carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its fresh simplicity, others lament reformulations that stripped its original punch. If you find an older bottle, snap it up.

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

Capricho opens with a bright, zesty burst of red fruits and bergamot, underscored by a surprising hint of mint and pepper that adds a modern edge. The heart unfurls into a delicate floral bouquet of cyclamen, jasmine, and freesia, gently warmed by a creamy almond and tonka bean accord. It settles into a comforting base of musk, amber, and a soft vanilla, with cedar and sandalwood providing a clean, elegant anchor.
