Bottega Veneta pour Homme Bottega Veneta 2013 Eau de Toilette

Very helpful Review
Cool guys not welcome!
"Bottega Veneta pour Homme"... Another blind buy due to the price, although the 50ml was quite expensive! Especially since the comments with the ratings fluctuated between 50% and 70%! So, what can one expect?
I still remember that the fragrance was heavily promoted at KaDeWe two years ago, and that was also the first time I could explore Berlin! There, sprayed on the skin, what happened? It was seen as a thin water, as it disappeared right after spraying! Very disappointing for the price of the perfume!
As mentioned, I ordered it blind a few days ago! And during the first quick test, I sprayed it on my forearms; the few minutes that you can perceive it, I find great! And then... it's suddenly gone! Very disappointing, especially since it's not a €10 fragrance!
But, far from it! What Bottega needs is warmth! Only then does it show its true beauty to the wearer! Of course, it's subtle, but wonderful! You get some woody notes that perhaps mix a bit with leather! The fragrance really sinks into the clothing! Here, you get a slightly creamy touch, while it still unfolds a beautiful woody base on the skin that lasts for quite some time!
So, overly cool guys should keep their hands off it; only when you’re hot enough can you confidently reach for it!

Well, that sounds good to me! I also like to be intentionally (1) uncool sometimes. Have you tried the stronger versions (like perfume, etc.)?

No, I haven't tested the others so far. :-)

I'm not really the type or overly cool, but maybe that's exactly why the scent and I should get to know each other better. :-).

A great men's fragrance! And the Bottega scents seem to have one thing in common, both women's and men's fragrances-they only develop when the skin is warm and then reveal their true beauty to the wearer.

The scent does seem to be more mainstream, while the women's fragrances (Bottega Veneta and Essence Aromatique) stood out to me.

I'm the complete opposite of a 'cool guy', but still, this scent has a shadowy existence in my collection. Maybe - and this might be the crux of the matter - I'm just not a leather person.
