by Bottega Veneta
A luminous and remarkably well-crafted white floral fragrance that captures the essence of the orange tree in bloom. It opens with a vibrant, green-tinged petitgrain note that feels both bitter and citrusy, setting the stage for a rich interplay between neroli and orange blossom. The floral heart is dense and honeyed, with a delicate balance between sweetness and freshness, while a subtle woody base grounds the composition, adding depth and longevity. Its clean, almost soapy elegance resists being cloying, delivering a natural-styled fragrance with a sophisticated simplicity. The sillage is moderate to strong, and the longevity surpasses most of its kind, lasting well into the day and even into the night. It evokes sun-drenched Mediterranean gardens—bright, unassuming, and effortlessly elegant—ideal for spring and summer wear, especially during midday or warm weather.
