Bottega Veneta
by Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta is a refined, modern chypre with a subtle leather and mossy base, featuring a delicate balance of bergamot, pink pepper, patchouli, oak moss, and jasmine. It opens with a subtly spicy, fresh note that evolves into a sophisticated, soft leather accord, enhanced by a warm, slightly sweet floral drydown. The fragrance is unobtrusive and intimate in projection, making it ideal for everyday wear, especially during cooler months. It strikes a balance between elegance and subtlety, allowing it to be worn in professional settings without drawing undue attention. While it boasts strong longevity and a discreet sillage, individual experiences vary — some find it quietly captivating, while others perceive it as faint or forgettable. The scent carries an air of quiet confidence, with a polished, classically feminine character that appeals most to those who appreciate understated luxury. Its success lies in its harmonious, non-dominant blend that feels both timeless and contemporary.
