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
The register is alert but unhurried: returning indoors after rain, with damp ground still in the air and conversation kept close. Peppermint gives Raíces a crisp edge, while smoky vetiver and pepper keep its freshness rooted rather than buoyant.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the contrast between cool mint and earthy vetiver feels especially apt. Begin with one or two sprays on skin and let the extrait settle before adding more; a restrained application keeps the spicy accents from crowding its botanical freshness.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to green fragrances with an earthy underside: mint without confectionery sweetness, vetiver with rain-soaked smokiness, and spice with a dry edge. It will appeal to tastes that favour botanical tension and grounded textures over plush sweetness.

The nose
Paul Guerlain created Raíces around the contrast between peppermint’s botanical freshness and vetiver’s increasingly earthy character. His interpretation balances a sharply defined green opening with a grounded foundation, expressing strength and serenity through restraint rather than overt richness.
Otzlab’s story
OTZ LAB is a Madrid-rooted creative laboratory born from OTEYZA and Perfumes y Diseño. It translates the fashion house’s dialogue between tradition and avant-garde design into scent, giving perfumers creative freedom and favouring unexpected ingredient pairings. Sculpture, colour and industrial materials extend that approach into the bottles and packaging.
Raíces’s concept
Raíces takes its name from OTEYZA’s Spring/Summer 2019 fashion collection, whose dialogue between tradition and avant-garde design became a reference for the fragrance. Its olfactory premise is identity beyond labels: Paul Guerlain pairs the immediate botanical freshness of peppermint with the progressively earthy character of vetiver, translating strength, serenity and precision into scent.
Extra info
Raíces means “roots” in Spanish. Its name also connects it to an OTEYZA fashion collection, rather than simply describing its earthy scent. Lavernia & Cienfuegos designed OTZ LAB’s bottle and visual identity, pairing matte-black steel with test-tube-like glass and Constructivist-inspired graphics.
