OTZ LAB Raíces is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Paul Guerlain. Raíces settles into a heart of Vetiver, Rose, Pepper, and Ginger. OTZ LAB's Raíces carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Raíces is a fresh spicy powerhouse, making its mark with a confident swagger. It's bold and green, but a hefty dose of pepper means it's definitely not for the faint-hearted.

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.

When To Wear

Best For:
Spring

Fall

Its fresh spicy, aromatic and warm spicy composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

As an Extrait with a prominent spicy character, Raíces isn't ideal for a discreet office environment, but it makes a statement on a date. Its freshness and warmth give it versatility for casual wear, though its intensity might be too much for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It hits you with a blast of fresh spice, a proper kick from ginger and pepper before the green, aromatic heart of vetiver and mint steps forward. There's a subtle floral touch from rose, balanced by earthy, woody undertones. Saffron adds a leathery-spicy depth that keeps things interesting as it dries down, leaving a warm, sophisticated trail.
