Botanicae Expressions The Swan — Fragrance of 2025
Botanicae Expressions The Swan is a unisex perfume in parfum, or extrait, concentration, released in 2025.
The fragrance was created by perfumer Miroslav Petkov and became part of the Great Journeys Collection, dedicated to the idea of travel, impressions and emotional discoveries.
The release comes from the young Spanish house Botanicae Expressions, founded in 2019 on Spain’s sunny coast.
The brand quickly attracted the attention of niche perfume enthusiasts with its fresh take on natural motifs and its ambition to create expressive compositions with character.
The Swan continues this aesthetic, combining radiant citrus freshness, a dry balsamic facet and a soft, sensual base.
Character and Scent Profile
The Swan is a fragrance for women and men who enjoy noticeable, rich and multifaceted compositions.
Its olfactory profile is built around citrus, gourmand and balsamic nuances, complemented by musky and woody accents.
Despite its airy name, this is not a fragile or barely perceptible perfume: its declared sillage is very strong, allowing the composition to enhance an overall look and leave a striking impression.
At first, The Swan smells cool and sparkling thanks to green mandarin. The citrus transparency then gradually gives way to the honeyed, dry and slightly spicy character of immortelle.
In the drydown, the fragrance becomes warmer and denser: amber, cedar, white musk and vanilla create an enveloping woody-amber accord with delicate sweetness.
Pyramid and Development on the Skin
The composition unfolds progressively, without sharp transitions.
Green mandarin provides the lively opening, immortelle adds a sunny balsamic dryness to the heart, while the base develops into a warm combination of amber, cedar, white musk and vanilla.
Thanks to its extrait concentration, The Swan comes across as a deep and long-lasting fragrance in which the fresh opening gradually yields to a soft, rich sillage.
When and How to Wear The Swan
Its versatile gender positioning makes The Swan suitable for different styles and moods.
The citrus opening is especially fitting for daytime and transitional seasons, while the amber-vanilla base unfolds beautifully in the evening, in cool weather and on special occasions.
Because of its very strong sillage, the fragrance should be applied sparingly, especially indoors and when first getting acquainted with the composition.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided.
A practical approach is to start with one spray on the skin, assess the development after 20–30 minutes and add another if necessary; on clothing, it is best to apply only a minimal amount after checking the fabric’s reaction.
Information about other concentrations of The Swan is not available in the data at hand.
