Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum Perfume Spray for Women 50 ml

Product Information

I envision a successful woman who is aloof, unbothered by the bullshit around her, and who holds strongly informed opinions without apology. Bright pink pepper and tangy bergamot lead to a heart of precious jasmine and a rich and classic base of leather, oak moss and patchouli. A marriage of Italian chic and German precision (Tomas Maier is, after all, a German) -- this chypre frag succeeds brilliantly.

It smells like the inside of an expensive bag or a luxurious car and it’s very realistic, so I’m not sure if I’d want to smell like this. After an hour this smells very close to Balenciaga Paris, I smell violets and leathery over the powdery chypre base.

I like the scent profile itself but something in the composition irritates my nose, and I mean literally. I mean you see notes like patchouli, leather, oakmoss and everything but what you get is something lots more diaphanous that what the notes would suggest. I interpret this perfume a bit differently than others, this is dominated by pink pepper, fruit, and florals.

The first Bottega Veneta fragrance starts off very citrusy (bergamot) and stays fresh and uplifting for the most of the time. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons. This isn't car leather either like in Memo's Italian Leather or Bentley's For Men Absolute and Infinite Intense. This is what the fragrance stays like for hours, oscillating between a lovely, tangy peach and the leathery, round Mitsouko-style peach. This particular impression (or rather feeling) the perfume gives to me comes from that knee weakening note.

Patchouli here is not very loud and instead it ties together everything so nicely in the background.

But a male friend of mine told me i smelled expensive, so i knew i had to give it a second chance and after that i fell in love. Let me clarify one thing about how I feel about scents: I think they create a huge atmosphere around you. On the initial spray, I could not help but sigh deeply on the exhale, as it already had me under its spell.It is still very loud with the patchouli, so much so if someone is migraine prone this perfume would be a nightmare! There is something very enticing about it, that makes it incredibly sexy and good as a night time scent.
