Casablanca • La Boticá

The fig leaf and black currant combo smells like a real fig tree in dry heat, not the sweet candle version I was worried about. Cedarwood keeps it grounded for hours without turning heavy. Wore it to an outdoor dinner and kept catching it on my wrist all night.

The galbanum gives this a sharp green bite right at the start, then the cedarwood settles in and keeps it earthy without going sweet on me. I've been wearing it to work three days a week and the dry-down still surprises me by late afternoon.

The fig leaf is the first thing I notice, green and dewy, before the cedarwood settles in underneath. It wears close to the skin for hours without turning sharp on me. Perfect for someone who wants a warm woody scent that isn't heavy.
