Raíces, Spanish for roots, is a perfume that summons the force of the earth with a botanical bounce. The rain-soaked smokiness of vetiver twins with the glacial green of peppermint for a bright-eyed, vibrant persona. The persona shifts with unexpected sparks: black and pink pepper, orange blossom and ginger, rose and saffron.
Perfumer: Paul Guerlain
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone moving through the city with a grounded, alert presence: clean-lined clothes, quick steps, and a trace of rain still on the pavement. It feels most natural when the air is cool and the atmosphere slightly charged.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its peppery earthiness and green lift can unfold without feeling heavy. Apply sparingly at first; as an extrait, it will project with authority and last well on skin, with the damp-earth and vetiver facets lingering close but persistent.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like green, spicy and earthy compositions with a modern edge. It suits those drawn to contrast, texture and a fragrance that feels fresh without becoming airy, and dark without turning dense.
Release year
2026
The nose
Paul Guerlain is a contemporary perfumer associated with polished, material-driven compositions that balance clarity with texture. His work on Raíces leans into contrast: rain-soaked earth, pepper heat and a vivid green freshness that gives the scent its restless, modern energy.
Otzlab’s story
OTZ LAB positions itself as cosmopolitan high perfumery born in Madrid, with a laboratory-like approach that privileges precision, duality and contemporary artistic intent. The house treats fragrance as an architecture of contrasts rather than a conventional collection.
Raíces’s concept
Raíces, Spanish for “roots,” was conceived as an exploration of identity through contrast: peppermint against vetiver, brightness against depth, botanical lift against earthy shadow. The official concept frames identity as something played with and reassembled rather than fixed.
Extra info
Raíces means “roots” in Spanish. OTZ LAB sells its fragrances as extrait de parfum at 25% concentration, and the bottle is described as dark and smoky in tone, echoing the perfume’s earthy character.
