MERAKI

Meraki is a unisex eau de parfum 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. Signed by perfumer Miroslav Petkov, it is a joyful, natural fruity floral that smells of a basket of freshly picked wild strawberries.

The Fragrance

Meraki is a Greek word that indicates the act of putting one's soul, creativity and love into what one does, leaving a piece of oneself in one's work. Botanicae dedicates this perfume to Santorini and to the atmosphere of a summer forest, where wild fruits ripen in the sun. It is a spontaneous, luminous perfume that celebrates the pleasure of things done with passion. Like all the house's creations, it is born in Spain.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is juicy and surprisingly realistic: wild strawberry bursts onto the skin, accompanied by the milky sweetness of fig and the liveliness of blackcurrant. In the heart violet and iris bloom, delicate and powdery, supported by the dry note of cedar. The base becomes soft and enveloping: creamy sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla leave a sweet, natural trail.

Who We Recommend Meraki To

We recommend Meraki to those who love fruity perfumes but are looking for something more refined and natural than usual. It is perfect in spring and summer, for daytime, free time and the moments when you want to carry a little cheerfulness with you. Unisex, it appeals to those who want a sunny, spontaneous perfume full of personality.
