This was a blind
buy. I was looking for something new and different. I’m sick of all super sweet
scents that are so popular right now. When I’m walking on the streets, I can
mostly smell just one so familiar fragrance and that is just sad. We all know
which one, right? After weeks of reading only positive reviews I decided to buy
it. Naughty meJ.Some even declared this as best flanker of 2017. It is different than
expected, but still very pleasant, enjoyable and packed into most gorgeous
bottle.
Reviewers described
this as dark, mysterious and masculine, but to me it’s soft and comforting. It
mostly reminds me of Solea universal cream, mixed with plum and hint of spices
and patchouli. I think that roses are to blame for this ˝Solea effect˝. Everything
is very well blended together, so nothing stands out to me. Only the beginning
can be slightly unpleasant, when strong blast of bergamot, mixed with pepper tickles
your nose. Give it some time, it will reward you.
This is my first
fragrance with leather note, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Here the
leather is mild and somehow comforting to me. First it is mixed with rose and
plum. At dry down becomes more prominent and when it appears with patchouli
gives some masculine vibe, but nothing too strong.
The bottle is simple, yet so inviting and just beautiful. I like they
gave some attention to details: ombre bottle, suede bow and even the bottom has
it’s own design.
It has good staying power and it is definitely work appropriate. The
price is another story. I bought it from Germany for 54€, on some web sites
prices start at 70€ - We’re talking about 30ml bottle. I have never tried and
other Bottega Veneta fragrance, so I can’t compare it to original or other
flankers. It is absolutely a great choice for colder moths if you want to
escape that trendy and overly sweet creations.
