A caring adventure
We were born with the challenge of keeping a destiny inside a jar. We sustainably promote access to artistic perfumery, without large impersonal marketing campaigns or the barriers of ultra-luxury.
Our History
We have always been travelers, entrepreneurs and curious.
In 2012 we began our journey in the fragrance industry and were fortunate to continue our learning in the Middle East. There perfume is culture and in each home they know ingredients and their mixtures are taught from generation to generation.
Together with multinationals in the sector, we work with the region’s historic brands, for whom we coordinate the formulation and supply fragrances, while sharing endless talks over tea.
Emirates, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Lebanon, India, Pakistan… Our experience grew and so did the territories in which we worked, beginning to travel throughout East Africa and South Asia. An exciting period that taught us to open our eyes to other cultures, their smells and traditions.
At the end of 2018 the Mediterranean claimed us and we returned home, from where we continue traveling while putting down roots.
It was then when we decided to venture out and share the experiences of all those years in a sustainable, humane and honest way. Now we distill our stories to extract their essence and preserve them through our perfumes. Thus Botanicae was born. A house in which we work and live intensely to continue surprising you.
Our trip
Shomal, which means North in Farsi, refers to this area of Iran. A country full of history with charming people.
We have always preserved our origins and returned to them to be inspired by their streets.
In Beirut we got lost in Mar Mikhael, a point of mixing and meeting of cultures, which receives influences from the East and the West.
Essaouira is a magical city. The medina opens onto the port, which has received visitors for centuries, a haven of peace loaded with spices brought by merchants.
