Capricho O Boticario, released in 2001, is marketed as a feminine fragrance, falling within the green, wood, and floral families. Perfumer Adilson Rato left a distinct mark on this composition. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
Brand country — Brazil. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Capricho is shaped as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of O Boticario is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Fruit, Musc, Wood and Amber add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Right at the start you sense radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Green Chord and Mint.
In the heart you sense Almond, Cyclamen, Freesia, Jasmine and Tonka bean carrying a harmonious floral direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Green and Aromatic. It also reaches into Fruit, Gourmet, Floral and Whiteflower.
Overall Capricho holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
