The Designer Fragrance Every Fashion Person Has on Their Vanity

There’s something special about designer fragrances. It’s not just a glass jar on your dresser. It’s an opportunity to experience luxury every time you spray your signature scent. Even if you don’t have a closet full of designer clothes, you can still get the same amount of decadence from high-end fragrances. When the light and sweet scent of summer changes to the warm and spicy scent of autumn, Bottega Veneta The company announced its first fragrance collection with Matthew Blasey as its creative director.

As you can imagine, the editors of Who What Wear are in a straight mess for about a year. anything Every announcement comes from Bottega Veneta, and this one is no exception. Inspired by the brand’s birthplace of Venice and the brand’s signature leather weaving technique, intrecciato, the collection’s five fragrances are all deeply rooted in Italian tradition. Below, we explore the fragrance’s notes, architectural design, and creative direction in detail.

Since taking over as creative director, Blasey has emphasized the importance of touch at Bottega Veneta. This commitment is reflected in the use of tactile materials in the brand’s designs and the exquisite craftsmanship that defines its unique savoir-faire. All the fragrances in this collection unfold beautifully on contact, revealing subtle notes when you greet someone with a hug or walk into a crowded room. Fragrances speak for you and tell their own intimate stories before you say, “Thank you, Bottega Veneta!”

The bottle design reflects this spirit and is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and tactile pleasure. More than just perfume containers, they embody the rich heritage of the Veneto region and the Maison’s craftsmanship tradition, making each bottle a work of art in its own right. The translucent glass bottle beautifully captures the fluid, undulating essence of the Venetian lagoon, while nodding to the supple leather shapes that first defined Bottega Veneta’s look. Its watery, rippling form creates a smooth, sensual experience that focuses not only on scent but also on feel.

Through innovative bespoke manufacturing, the design mimics the look of blown glass and also features air bubbles that are unique to each bottle. The design pays homage to the glassblowing tradition of Venice’s Murano island, which Blasey recently highlighted at Bottega’s F/W 24 show. No two bottles are alike, but it looks especially chic on a vanity or dresser. The bottle sits beautifully on a green Verde Saint Denis marble base, the same marble used in Blazy’s store design.

Blazee leveraged Venice’s history as a center of cross-cultural trade to create a blend of 100% natural ingredients sourced from different countries and continents. Think of scents that make you feel adventurous and well-traveled. A spritz of Corpo di Sole feels like a one-way trip to the Mediterranean with its warm, soothing scent of French Angelica oil and sensual Moroccan Orange Blossom Absolute. For something fresh and elegant, Come with Me is a delicious mix of French orris butter and Italian bergamot. Aqua Sale, a fragrance that combines Spanish wood labdanum absolute and Macedonian juniper oil, evokes the feeling of a tranquil coastal vacation, capturing the warmth of the sun and the essence of seawater on the skin. In an unexpected but perfect concoction of exotic spices, Deja Minui combines geraniums from Madagascar with spicy cardamom from Guatemala. Finally, Alchemy, a combination of Brazilian pink pepper and Somali myrrh, embodies charm.

As a fun nod to the marble walls, floors and facades of Venetian architecture, the bottle’s sculptural wooden cap pays homage to the foundations of Venetian palaces. Each cap features a unique scent-matched color or hue, inspired by modern Venetian design. The engraved metal ring around the cap also gives a stylish impression. Thoughtfully designed as a luxury object for everyday use, the bottle is refillable and 0% plastic-free, prioritizing sustainability in every detail. This combination of elegance and environmental consciousness makes these fragrances stand out in any collection.
