O Boticário Make B. is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Véronique Nyberg and Rafael Marano. Make B. opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orchid, Freesia, and Grasse Rose Absolute, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. O Boticário's Make B. carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a quality scent for the price, others reckon it's too pricey for its performance. Expect a bold, spicy-sweet start that softens into a classic floral heart.

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 moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its richer, warmer profile, make it better suited for evening wear or cooler weather. It's a bit too prominent for a conservative office, but perfect for a romantic date or a sophisticated event.

About

Make B. opens with a potent, almost syrupy burst of raspberry and zesty citrus, spiced up by a noticeable pink pepper kick. As it settles, a sophisticated floral bouquet emerges, with rose, jasmine, and orchid taking centre stage, softened by freesia. The dry down is a warm, resinous embrace of vanilla, benzoin, and amber, grounded by earthy patchouli and vetiver, with that sweet raspberry lingering throughout.
