TARO

Taro 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 luminous, deep fruity spicy fragrance that starts bright and ends with an intense, resinous trail.

The Fragrance

Taro pays tribute to Gerda Taro, the German photojournalist who documented the Spanish Civil War and whose courage made her a symbol of inspiration. Every element of the perfume tells of a side of her: the strength of her character, her beauty and her wisdom, in an intense, passionate olfactory portrait. Like all the house's creations, it is born in Spain.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is bright and surprising: juicy pineapple meets precious, slightly leathery saffron, and together they tell of a strong, determined character. In the heart jasmine brings beauty and sensuality, while sage adds a clear, herbaceous note. The base becomes deep and resinous: patchouli, labdanum and oud leave a dense, warm and slightly smoky trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Taro To

We recommend Taro to those who love perfumes with a sunny opening and a base of great depth, and are looking for an extrait that makes itself remembered. It is ideal for special occasions and for those who want to wear a perfume with character every day too, from spring to autumn. Unisex, it appeals to those who want a courageous, luminous and intense perfume.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Taro has a contagious energy: it starts with a brightness that puts you in a good mood and then reveals a depth you do not expect. It is one of those perfumes that, once tried in our store, are immediately remembered and asked for by name.
