O Boticário Uomini is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996, created by Verônica Casanova and Michel Armand. Uomini opens with Lemon Tree, Bergamot, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Thyme and Basil, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. O Boticário's Uomini carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent for sure: some get an invigorating, complex citrus-green with sensual undertones, others are hit with an overwhelming sweetness that turns them right off. It's giving twin brother to D&G Pour Homme, but perhaps a bit more tropical.

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

Uomini bursts open with a bright, zesty hit of lemon and bergamot, immediately uplifted by the sharp, green bitterness of galbanum. This freshness soon deepens into an aromatic heart of peppery basil and herbaceous thyme, adding a sophisticated, slightly spicy edge. The dry down is a warm, earthy embrace of vetiver, sandalwood, and oakmoss, softened by a clean musk, lending a rich and alluring depth.
