Botica 214 Fiji Paradise

#1378 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This the fourth O Boticario "Botica 214" scent I've acquired and the best smelling Brazilian fougere I've found so far. Christopher Reynaud has crafted a nice, bright, spicy greenie with "Fiji Paradise." One of the nicest I've encountered and I can't stop smelling it. It's like taking Viktor & Rolf's "Antidote", one of the all-time greats, cutting back the florals and upping the greens. Another Brazilian fragrance co, Natura, Has something like this called "Homem Elo" which I also have, but which is sweeter and doesn't have the sharp green edge this one has. This is a moderate aromatic scent that isn't going to offend anyone, but like many aromatics it loses potency very quickly, (basically an EDT in potency), so I'd overspray, and you'll definitely reapply midday. But I think everyone will find it attractive. Appropriate for suit and tie business wear, formal wear. Masculine and reasonably priced. I'd put it in the same class with Dior "Eau Sauvage Parfum" and Houbigant "Duc de Vervins Extreme." A successful blind buy for me, but I would love a higher concentration.

Spice, mint, ambar and woody. I think it has a boozy and soapy vibe too. A little bit sweet for a summer fragrance, 214 Fiji Paradise smells good and elegant when you spray it. After 15 min it is so generic (as all "Malbec family"), annoying and so cheap (like Axe deodorant) Bad performance, 3-4 hours longevity and smell a cheap, too sinthetic. Maybe It will work better at fall season. Way overpriced as all O Boticário fragrances and a cheap quality.

O cheiro dele eh EXCELENTE, mas n tenho como defender a performance Quando eu o tive, pelo menos, sua fixação era pífia. Projetava tudo que tinha nele em questão de 1h, mantinha mais 1 hora na pele e depois desaparecia por completo Se a fixação melhorar, com certeza compraria novamente e alteraria minha avaliação mas, para um perfume de mais de 200 reais e Eau De Parfum, não performa como deveria

Really similar to D&G K, I like it. But performance is not that good unfortunately.

This smells like you just stepped off a private jet straight onto a tropical island. It’s fresh, breezy, and a little flirty like ocean air mixed with confidence. I kinda like it. Suggest me more similar scents.
