O Boticário 1998 EDP

M ££ Favourite

Portinari

O Boticário Portinari is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Thierry Bessard and Joachim Correll. Portinari opens with Bergamot, Cypress, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Caraway, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. O Boticário's Portinari carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Portinari is a well-blended, inoffensive everyday scent, though its performance frustrates many. If you're after a subtle, slightly sweet aromatic, and don't mind a skin scent, it's a decent shout. Otherwise, you might find it a bit underwhelming.

About

Portinari opens with a bright, zesty burst of tangerine and bergamot, underscored by the sharp, green scent of cypress. As it settles, a rich tapestry of lavender, basil, and warm spices like caraway and clove emerges, adding an intriguing savoury depth. The drydown softens to a cozy, slightly sweet base of vanilla, amber, musk, and a subtle earthiness from tonka and vetiver, creating a refined and comforting finish.
