Frag heads, rejoice: Bottega Veneta just dropped a new fragrance line. The Alta Fragrance Collection are connected by Bottega Veneta's "Intrecciato duo" concept, each weaving together one scent from Italy, another from a different country, and resulting in a scent that's international and worldly. The scents are all about balance: lightness with richness, citrus notes with woody notes, unexpected pairings, and quintessentially Italian notes, like stracciatella.
Coveteur got a firsthand look at the fragrances at an exclusive editor preview a few weeks ago, and we were especially impressed by Bare Morning, a powdery scent featuring sandalwood notes that smells like clean skin, Slow Rise, a balance of roses and clary sage meant to spark childhood nostalgia, and Velvet Steps with the most distinct note of syrupy Italian plum accord and in a moody deep purple color. Ricordami, the stracciatella scent, was a grown-up gourmand that was sweet without being overbearing, and was the favorite of our Editor-in-Chief, Faith Xue.
Courtesy of Bottega VenetaThose who have been following Bottega Veneta know this isn't the House's first foray into fragrance.The Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum was long considered the IYKYK signature scent, until the release of its 2024 fragrance collection inspired by a day in Italy, with its sculptural bottles, marble pedestals and cult-favorite scents, like Colpo Di Sole and Come With Me. This is, however, the house's most expansive fragrance launch to date (and at a more accessible price point, too).
The bottles are glass interpretation of the the house's signature, iconic weave, tying everything together. Complete with wooden caps and gold caps akin to Venetian buildings, they're classic, traditional, and worthy of a front row spot on your vanity.
