Botica 214 Verano en Firenze

Strawberry scent! On me this is pure straight strawberry. Reminds me of lipgloss I wore as a tween, but the ingredients and blend are much nicer and more realistic than the cheap synthetic strawberry flavor of the past. Wasn’t easy to find this perfume. Bought because I’m collecting Quentin Bisch fragrances. This one is fun and happy. Mostly fruity. More lily comes out as it dries down but it still reads like strawberry to me. Sweet, gourmand, and sexy. I’m not typically one to buy straight fruity scents but I have no regrets adding this to my collection. Not sure if I associate Florence with smelling like strawberries, but it’s okay, maybe I need to vacation there again, haha! Love it, highly recommend it for any girls looking for a sexy strawberry vibe. This is an easy blind buy for girls into fruity gourmands. Might not be *elegant* enough for fancy older women at stuffy formal events, but honestly, wear what you want, who cares! Update: IMO this reminds me a lot of Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum. That one is more strawberry vanilla, this is more strawberry floral, but the strawberry note reads identical to me. I personally prefer Burberry, my husband prefers Verano. They’re both great and easy grabs if I’m looking for the same scent. I’d suggest Verano as a cheaper alternative but it isn’t very available in the US... if you find it for a good price, get it! I personally wouldn’t pay the $80+ price tag some eBay scalpers are charging. Burberry is cheaper if you find it at a discounter. I can’t find this on the company website so I’m guessing it was discontinued after just 1 year. Such a pity. The Burberry scent is getting insanely popular lately. Boticario discontinued this before it could be discovered by the hoards on Gen Z fruity babes who would love it. Zero resemblance to My Way, btw, and whoever voted this similar to BR 540 should be banned from voting on this site as they are so completely different I’d suggest the person who voted they’re alike is either trolling or genuinely has no sense of smell.

For me it is a Happy, Bubbly scent. The acidity of the fruit is tamed by the flowers, and creamed up by the musk, the hint of vanilla, and the woods. It warms you up while cooling you down!? Yes, I think it does. I wouldn't wear it at the height of summer, neither when it's snowing. It's a fair weather scent, that feels good in the wind.

Pure strawberry! it is more fruit/citric than other strawberry fragrances. I love it so much. Puro morango! é um pouco mais frutal e cítrico que outras fragrâncias de morango, mesmo com a nota de baunilha. Eu amei muito.

Um doce aberto, meio ardido, sinto morando azedo, projeta e fixa bem

For such a light scent I’m surprised it lasted a whole day. Although it doesn’t project that much, I could still get a whiff of it from myself during the day
