EBANO

Ebano is a unisex extrait by Botanicae, the Spanish house born from the challenge of keeping a destination inside a bottle: perfumes able to tell the story of places around the world. It belongs to the Elixirs de Parfum collection, dedicated to great journeys, and it is a dark, woody amber gourmand, sweet but never cloying, with a spicy and balsamic soul.

The Fragrance

Ebano is inspired by the account of Ryszard Kapuściński, the great Polish reporter who for decades travelled across Africa, telling of its life, its people and its landscapes. The perfume captures the essence of his journey into the unknown: an intense, warm and deep adventure, made of encounters and discoveries. Like all the house's creations, it is born in Spain.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is spicy and vibrant: incense and pink pepper meet the sweetness of red berries. In the heart a dark, gourmand accord unfolds: raw cocoa blends with praline and with the balsamic note of myrrh. The base is warm and enveloping: vanilla, styrax and oak leave a woody, resinous and slightly smoky trail.

Who We Recommend Ebano To

We recommend Ebano to those who love gourmand perfumes but are looking for something deeper and more sophisticated than a simple gourmand. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings, important occasions and for those who want an enveloping perfume during the day too. Unisex, it wins over those who love warm, dark perfumes with a bold character.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Ebano is one of those perfumes that instantly create atmosphere: warm, deep, with a grown-up sweetness that never tires. In our store it is often the discovery of those who thought they did not like gourmands.
