It doesn’t change your life, but it’s almost unbeatable. It outshines most designers in this line and even some niche scents. The scent is super clean, like expensive hotel soap. Compared to Le Male (one of my favourites), it’s less sweet and cleaner, making it ideal for hot summer days. Decent price, highly recommended brand. Extremely high quality, good presentation, and made in Spain. Perfect for everyday wear if you work indoors and it’s hot. Now it’s my daily.
I’m not making anything up, but its price/performance/quality would make many niche and designer scents blush. Very similar olfactory profile to Pegasus, with performance it wouldn’t envy. Plus, made in Spain. This EDT line would be the ‘designer’ profile of Botanicae. More masculine profile, very pleasant all year round, though its ideal season is spring and autumn. For me, highly recommended. Au revoir!
To me, this is purely a filler product. Botanicae has its two or three quality scents like Matina or Mogador, and then fillers like this one, which are synthetic and dispensable. Meh.
I bought it blindly due to the hype from reviewers and I must say I’m happy, but I expected more, especially regarding the scent. It’s good and pleasant, but it doesn’t particularly excite me. And although no one has mentioned it, it bears a very strong resemblance to Dj Mariio or Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier. If you like those two, you’re sure to hit the mark. For me, it’s unisex, without gender or age; I see it on a grandmother as well as on a teenager, curious but that’s how it comes across. The performance is decent, not a dud but not outstanding either; it’s good for the price; if it were more expensive, I wouldn’t recommend it. Don’t let my polarising review scare anyone, it’s a good fragrance for the price. 7/10 overall.
I bought it blindly due to the hype from reviewers and must say I’m pleased, although I expected more, especially regarding the scent. It’s good and pleasant, but personally it doesn’t passion me. And although no one has mentioned it, it smells very much like Dj Mariio’s fragrance, or rather, Jean Paul Gaultier’s Scandal. If you like those two, you’ll certainly hit the mark. For me, it’s unisex, without gender or age; I see it on a grandmother as well as on a teenager, curious but that’s how it comes across. The performance is decent; it’s not a dud but nor is it outstanding; it’s good for the price; if it were more expensive, I wouldn’t recommend it. Let no one be alarmed by my somewhat polarising review; it’s a good value-for-money fragrance. 7/10 overall.
A wonderful perfume proposing an Atlantic surfer inspiration, but I find it sweeter and fruitier, perhaps due to the white flowers and sandalwood, notes present but in the distance. Aromatic, woody, with lavender very present, a floral touch, pleasant and blatantly masculine unisex. Very good longevity, projection and trail. A fragrance success, but its description can be misleading. Not anything aquatic or marine. Test before buying, as always.
I’m here to confirm what @OdiseoBcn already said. After reading reviews describing it as aquatic, blue, and perfect for summer, I found something totally different upon trying it. In fact, its similarities lie with Le Male and Pegasus. Although it does fit that family (lavender, vanilla, white flowers, sandalwood…), it’s a lighter and more versatile version for the climate. I feel compelled to differ from so many others, because in summer I prefer fresh scents, though it doesn’t suit me badly either. Apart from that, it’s a very good perfume. Excellent value for money and magnificent performance (especially being an EDT), which easily lasts the working day. Highly recommended if you like this style.
An incredible perfume that promises an Atlantic vibe, though on my skin it feels sweeter and fruitier, perhaps due to those white flowers and sandalwood floating in the background. It’s aromatic, woody, with lots of lavender and a very pleasant floral touch. It’s unisex, yet with a bold masculine air. The longevity, projection, and trail are top-notch. It’s a total hit, although the description can be misleading: it’s not aquatic or marine at all. As always, try it before buying.
I was just coming to comment something similar to what @OdiseoBcn pointed out. After reading reviews of an aquatic, blue, perfect summer fragrance, I found something upon trying it that has nothing to do with it. In fact, its comparisons are Le Male and Pegasus. It does belong to that family (lavender, vanilla, white flowers, sandalwood…), but it’s a lighter and more versatile version for the climate. Nevertheless, and I feel I must differ, I prefer fresher scents in summer, although it wouldn’t clash if used that way. Apart from this, I think it’s a very good perfume. Excellent quality/price ratio and, in my case, magnificent performance (especially being an EDT) that lasts through the workday. Highly recommended if you enjoy this type of fragrance.
I absolutely loved that it lasted six hours on my skin. It definitely recalls Le Male, but it’s fresher, ideal for summer, and not as heavy. And the best part: it’s incredibly cheap.
Very happy with its 6 hours of longevity on my skin. It resembles Le Male, but fresher, summery and less suffocating. Very cheap.
Since it’s Made in Spain, I let it macerate from October until this February 2023 and now it smells stronger and better. Given that the batch at the time of purchase was almost finished bottling. Initially, I review that it’s more suitable for male use, very versatile, entering the world of sweet fragrances, with nods to Le Male and Pegasus. Its essential oils, given its price, are of excellent quality and evoke very good vibes. For me, it’s not discovering a new planet, but quality, price and performance are unbeatable, and with that, the brand Spain authenticates authenticity and good craftsmanship. I highly recommend getting to know the BOTANICAE world. Recently, through a friend, I tried PEGASUS again; the resemblance with this ONDA is incredible.
This is a marvel, a beast mode for summer that I don’t understand why it’s not talked about. Longevity out of all control and a scent of impressive quality.
