But I am also very open to any suggestions for what else to try if I just want this Bottega but after 3+ hours of wearing it. It contains of bergamot, Brazilian pink pepper, Indian Sambac jasmine, oakmoss, patchouli and Indian patchouli. The face of the campaign is Nine d'Urso, the daughter of French fashion icon Inès de la Fressange and Italian art dealer Luigi d'Urso. There's something that I can't describe there; dark and somewhat foul smelling, for lack of better words: warm poop. Bottega Veneta was inspired by an Italian house in a leafy, quaint countryside, watching nature unfold through an open window as the soft Spring breeze dances in and out.

The opening is spicy and clear, with a piquant pink pepper and a brilliant, but not all that bitter, bergamot. Not sure I will try this again as this is one fragrance I’ve had the most trouble tolerating in a very long time, and I cannot put my finger on why. My today favourite perfume is Björk and Berries ” never spring ”, Which I love , but has no staying power whatsoever, I Think it lacks bottomnotes altogether.She works in the fashion industry, has an expensive purse and shoes, a large Mercedes with a personal driver. And, other than the rather thick jasmine/floral heartnotes, I see no reason why a man could not wear this scent. This has a leather moss base that gives this security, it gives it a lush, understated luxury high class vibe. Now that I'm familiar with the scent I can recognise when somebody on the street is wearing it and gosh I love it. After receiving advice from some wonderful people on the forum, I blind bought a 50 ml bottle of this.

I just received this perfume today after reading the reviews and for me … it gives me the Gris Dior, Rihanna Rouge and N. The , a leathery floral chypre, marries the olfactory language of the Venetian countryside-fresh meadows, mown hay, flowers, earth and wood-with the gentle richness of leather in a creation crafted with the meticulousness of a master artisan. Gris Dior has patchouli and oakmoss so they share a few notes but to my nose, they wear VASTLY differently on my skin. Cool, discreet and serious, almost stand off-ish, this manages to be elegant and evocative without being in any way "friendly". She is so naturally hypnotising, she turns heads with every little thing about her, like a cat, she’s gracious and smooth, her charms are invisible and subtle.I have a feeling a man would get tons of compliments on this, cause it is aloof, yet sensual and playful at the same time. Still in its early stages, Bottega Veneta resembles the effect of a fading Angel Muse, when all the high-calorie notes have evaporated and you're left with a luxe-yet-gritty patchouli and vetiver (again, not listed) cocktail.
