The Brand
Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta, the Italian fashion house founded in Vicenza in 1966, has 13 perfumes on Scendira, from about $61 to $500. The most-mentioned Bottega Veneta perfumes in the communities people use to talk fragrance are Pour Homme, Knot and Essence Aromatique, a pine-and-leather scent and two fresh citrus ones.
How the Bottega Veneta picks differ
Pour Homme (Eau de Toilette, 2013) is a pine forest breeze with sharp bergamot and leathered air, opening on juniper, Siberian stone pine and Calabrian bergamot and resting on leather and Indonesian patchouli.
Knot launched in 2014 and smells like bright citrus and neroli over soft musk, with orange blossom, clementine and lime above musk and tonka bean.
Essence Aromatique, an Eau de Cologne also from 2014, is fresh bergamot with green coriander and floral powder, drying to sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla.
If one of these catches your nose, bergamot perfumes and neroli perfumes show where else those notes turn up.
Its picks sit in woody perfumes and citrus perfumes.
