Welcome to our temple of fragrance consumption. Here with us, mediocrity is the measure of all things. Find yourself a spot right at the front of the shelf so you stand out and our customers can discover you right away. So kids, make some room for the new girl. Come on Sensi, stand next to Deli (I've forgotten her real name, but the Be Delicious clan sends us a newcomer every few weeks). Chic your outfit all in Rose Quartz, the Pantone trend color of 2016. The first impression: a fresh, mild peach breeze - fits. Followed by a gentle, indefinable floral mix with jasmine, but nothing distinctive. Is that supposed to be leather? No, that's the currently very popular musk drydown - very good. Just don’t stand out. Fortunately, you are different from your character- and individuality-focused relatives Bottega Veneta and Bottega Veneta Eau Legere, and will therefore find plenty of appeal with our customers. Finally, Bottega Veneta has arrived at the dozen goods. It was about time. It would also be nice to have a sugared berry variant for the candy girls among our customers in the fall. And then in November the collaboration with H&M... What, this year it's Kenzo's turn, with designer fashion for H&M. Well, maybe next year then. But how about a vanilla bomb for Christmas, for the vanilla freaks? It can't be rocket science, just throw a mega vanilla cap over Sensi. And in spring then launch an aquatics in a blue box - for the freshness fanatics, of course........Mah, I'm getting scared of my clairvoyant abilities. Enough of that! I’ll stick with Bottega Veneta Eau Legere and that's that.
I felt the same way as you. Unremarkable. Good thing I'm not a fan of the brand, otherwise I might be disappointed. I really like 2 of their fragrances, so I was just curious about the new one. That’s settled now.
I don't think this is just a run-of-the-mill scent, because I actually like the fragrance a lot. But "just don't stand out" was definitely a guiding principle in its creation. I'm glad you don't smell the leather either...
I was able to test it today. The opening is citrusy-fresh, and after 10 minutes, I can clearly smell the original scent. It's just softer (even softer!) and more subdued, with very soft, delicate leather. A summery Bottega Veneta!
