O Boticário Lily Gardénia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Lily Gardénia opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Orange Blossom, and Pear, settles into a heart of White Flowers and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. O Boticário's Lily Gardénia carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a gorgeous, ethereal white floral, while others are put off by a divisive, off-note undertone. Definitely one to try before you buy.

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

Opens with a bright burst of citrus from mandarin and bergamot, softened by a touch of sweet pear. The heart quickly unfolds into a lush bouquet of white florals, with gardenia taking centre stage, giving a creamy, almost jasmine-like quality. It settles into a comforting, powdery base of musks, warm amber, and creamy woods like sandalwood and cashmeran.
