O Boticário Rhea is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Rhea opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Violet, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. O Boticário's Rhea carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This discontinued gem divides opinion between those who see it as a brilliant, more affordable alternative to Coco Mademoiselle, and those who condemn it as an unoriginal copy. Regardless, its absence is sorely felt by its loyal fanbase.

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

Rhea opens with a spark of mandarin and pink pepper, spiced with saffron, before blossoming into a sophisticated floral heart of rose, iris, and violet. A creamy, woody dry-down of amber, cedar, and sandalwood, intertwined with patchouli and vanilla, gives it a warm, intimate finish. It evokes a sense of nostalgic, slightly faded elegance.
