Our Ethos

The differentia of La Boticá results from the careful selection of ingredients indigenous from the Dominican Republic and responsibly sourced ingredients selected from the far reaches of the earth. We believe through art; we are able to develop natural objects that become part of our rituals that also function as sophisticated art pieces.

Our cleanly formulated fine fragrances are compositions of the transportive power of nature and perfumery. Combined with our approach of limited edition pieces and in-house production, we create experimental and sophisticated works made with you in mind from our studio.

Through our partner, The Dream Project, a nonprofit organization focusing on providing high-quality education to under-represented children in the Dominican Republic. We have committed to donating a percentage of our profits to this organization. Our hope is that from these efforts, we help create a bright future for the children from these communities.

Each product is hand crafted in small batches in our creative studio in Long Island City, NY.
