If you like the "Bottega" fragrances for women, you'll be halfway hooked because "Bottega Veneta pour Homme" is similar in structure. It's a related formula of intense citrus head-notes except the "pour homme" -version goes into a more herbacious, woody direction by adding fir resin and pine. In the drydown I can smell the same leathery note as in the scent aimed at women (which I prefer). The female "Bottega" includes some kind of "oakmoss" which makes it more interesting for me, particularly in view of the fact that it is a recent perfume coming from Coty. Well, there is no oakmoss in this decent, beautiful masculine version, which seems to lack projection and longevity. Coming from "Bottega Veneta" you would expect something elegant and sophisticated, and that's what you get. In spite of the accent on wood and leather, this one is a "smoothie". The person who uses this fragrances probably plays it cool, my impression was that I never felt obvious wearing it. Might work well as a kind of fragrant security blanket.
