Flor De Selva: The Natural Beauty of the Dominican Republic.

Growing up with a multicultural background, I was always fascinated by the vibrant colors, lush forests, and fragrant flowers of my father's homeland, the Dominican Republic. Once I launched La Boticá, I knew I wanted to pay tribute to this beautiful country through scent. This journey of rediscovery led to the creation of Flor De Selva, a fragrance that captures the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic.

While exploring the island, I was captivated by the indigenous ingredients that are a fundamental part of the country's identity. I devoted years to researching and experimenting with different combinations of ingredients to develop Flor De Selva. Every detail was meticulously considered, from the top notes of Dominican Orange and Nutmeg to the base notes of White Cedar and Cypress, to create a fragrance that would transport the wearer to the heart of the island.
