Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum Perfume Spray for Women 50 ml

Product Information

I could see a hot older man or woman carrying this off - NOT because it's "old" smelling, but because the sophistication and confidence level has to be high to wear this fragrance. I sprayed my hand once this morning and the scent lingered all day with beautiful notes of oakmoss, patchouli and florals and of course, leather.

It is nearly identical to Rihana’s Rogue and because of this I will not repurchase this, going with Rogue next time. I was afraid when I opened my splash bottle that this was just another generic patchouli bomb; however, I am pleased to report that this is not the case.I interpret this perfume a bit differently than others, this is dominated by pink pepper, fruit, and florals. With a chypre base, the fragrance combines bergamot, patchouli and oak moss, with sensual floral and spicy components gesturing toward the East, a recollection of Venice’s place at the end of the Silk Road.

It lives in a separate universe from all current fashions and trends, and it doesn't care if you like it or not.If at any time you would like to opt out from marketing, you can visit the Privacy Preferences page and select the relevant options. The bottle designs reference traditional Venetian glass, with its timeless beauty and pleasant simplicity.

With Bottega discontinuing their line of perfumes I was in a panic thinking I would never have this fragrance to wear again. I feel very elegant and confident when I wear this perfume, great for the office or a night out, it is versatile. The big difference is the accord of bergamot and pink pepper which give EdV more body and dimension. I get why it can be quite masculine to people but I actually think its quite feminine in the strongest way possible.I would never imagine I would like a leathery earthy scent for women, but this perfume is one of those addictive scents for me. Although I really like to smell it I have no idea when or how I would wear it, it feels too serious and stiff for me. They come with a warm summer breeze, gently playing with the curtain lace, illusive they whisper to you, making you want to reach out and grab them, own them, put them under a crystal jar.
