Founded on 22 March 1977 in Curitiba, O Boticário was established by pharmacist Miguel Krigsner as a small compounding pharmacy. Its initial skincare products soon gave way to fragrance, and the brand opened a factory in São José dos Pinhais in 1982. Its expansion began with Portugal in 1986. Grupo Boticário was created in 2010.
O Boticário’s style is rooted in accessible and inventive perfumery, born from artisanal pharmacy compounding and later developed through industrial capabilities. The house works with ingredients associated with Brazilian nature and cultivates a warm, sensory language, with recognisable bottles, including the iconic amphora of its first fragrance.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 O Boticário fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: The Blend Bourbon.
