    The fragrance starts with a burst of freshness thanks to the green notes that give lightness and clarity. The mint adds a revitalising touch that stays present. As it evolves, it leaves a clean sensation without being overpowering. I recommend it for everyday wear and it’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for something light and refreshing.

    Starts with a burst of freshness; those green notes give it lightness and clarity. The mint keeps it revitalising all the time. It evolves into something clean without being overpowering. Ideal for everyday wear, perfect if you’re looking for something light and refreshing.

    Hello everyone, review from a non-expert, just my personal opinion. It smells fresh, green and very wearable, especially in the heat, but also on those cool tropical nights. On my skin it doesn’t last long, but it does the job for its price of $37 here in Venezuela. I’ve received compliments; people say it smells rich and pleasant. For the price, it’s a good option to feel clean with personality, it doesn’t smell like shower gel. Hope this helps, blessings.

    When I went to Brazil I met a Boticário and bought this lotion at a shop found almost on every corner; it was on discount. It really smells like what it says, Tree, as if they’d encapsulated the Amazon, very rich, very fresh and very green… what a pity Boticário isn’t in Mexico; had I known, I would have bought more.

    When I went to Brazil I bought this lotion at a Boticário – there are one everywhere – and it was on offer. It really smells of tree, as if they’d bottled the Amazon. Very rich, fresh and green… what a pity Boticário isn’t available in Mexico; had I known, I would have bought more.

  6. Seems like a good fragrance for the price. Projects quite well on the skin and is noticeable for more than four hours.

  8. I’ve just bought it and will be the first to review it in Spanish. I bought it following advice from a Brazilian forum where they consider it one of the best national fragrances. To me, it’s super fresh, ideal for summer, smelling of wet herbs and mint. Performance is very good, with solid longevity and sillage. I recommend it, 7/10.
