Botanicae Expressions Itaca — the scent of a great journey
Botanicae Expressions Itaca is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2023.
The composition is part of the Great Journeys Collection, a line dedicated to the impressions, routes and emotional geography of travel.
The fragrance was created by the Spanish niche house Botanicae Expressions, founded on Spain's sunny coast in 2019.
The young brand quickly attracted attention with its unusual approach to perfumery, combining natural materials, a sense of place and an expressive artistic style into complete olfactory stories.
Character and scent profile
Itaca Eau de Parfum unfolds as a rich woody-balsamic composition with a mineral facet.
It brings together green freshness, resinous depth, a damp mossy texture and a dark woody accent. Thanks to this combination, the fragrance feels natural, textured and distinctive at the same time.
Itaca's main feature is the contrast between its expressive opening and dense base.
The green nuance of davana gradually gives way to labdanum, rose and sea salt, after which the composition becomes warmer, earthier and woodier.
Oud, patchouli and oakmoss create a recognisably deep background that preserves the fragrance's character throughout its development.
According to the stated characteristics, Botanicae Expressions Itaca has very strong sillage.
It is a fragrance for those who enjoy a pronounced presence, a rich scent profile and compositions that do not immediately dissolve into the air after application.
It is particularly suitable for evenings, cool weather, walks, dates or occasions when you want to emphasise your individuality.
Who Itaca is for
As a unisex fragrance, Itaca is not tied to any particular gender image: on one person's skin it may appear greener and saltier, while on another it may become resinous, mossy or woody-oudy.
The composition will appeal to lovers of niche perfumery, complex natural accords and pronounced sillage.
The database does not provide precise recommendations for the number of sprays to apply to skin or clothing.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and assess the development on your own skin, especially indoors or in warm weather.
Its place in the collection and similar fragrances
Itaca continues Botanicae Expressions' idea of perfumery as a journey through natural landscapes and expressive materials.
No information about a specific perfumer is available for the composition, and details about other concentrations of this release have not been provided.
Those drawn to oud, resinous and rich woody fragrances may want to explore Lancôme L'Autre Oud.
It offers a continuation of an acquaintance with the deep oriental-woody direction, although Itaca stands out through its combination of sea salt, oakmoss and the green nuance of davana.
