Discreet and refined
The original Bottega Veneta is one of my favourite mainstream fragrances of the last years. This new, extremely light interpretation is a beautiful and aromatic mélange of fresh bergamot and coriander, subtle rose and patchouli (yes, there is such a thing as a low-key-patchouli note in this scent) resting on a base of languid tonka bean and vanilla plus a dash of sandalwood. It does disappear quickly on my skin (after 1 h), but I know it is an Eau de Cologne, so I shouldn't complain. Difficult, given the high price...
No leather in this one, by the way, at least I can't smell any. I still prefer the original EdP, but if you're looking for a much lighter and more summery version of "Bottega Veneta", you might want to give "Essence Aromatique" a try. As I said before, the so-called "Essence" is so light you can drench yourself in it without annoying your colleagues. This new EdC is ideal for people of elegant calm and natural poise. Discreet and stylish.

I still think the original bests all the flankers, which all seem to be very pleasant but rather ephemeral and overpriced for the money.
