O Boticário Zaad Arctic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Clément Gavarry. Zaad Arctic opens with Ice, Water Accord, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Black Tea, Cypress, Geranium, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Oakmoss. O Boticário's Zaad Arctic carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its staying power, while others dismiss it as another generic freshie with weak projection. If you're after a subtle, clean everyday scent, it's worth a sniff, but don't expect a showstopper.

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

Zaad Arctic opens with a crisp, invigorating burst of icy bergamot and grapefruit, evoking a clear, cold atmosphere. This briskness transitions into a heart of aromatic black tea and green cypress, lending a refined, slightly woody depth. As it settles, a warm base of amber, cedar, and earthy oakmoss emerges, providing a grounding and lasting finish.
