Incredible merge of elegance, modernity and classic approach at the same time. If Pino Silvestre is for "the commoners", then Bottega Veneta is for the gents and the nobility.

What I personally miss in the end is clearly the promised leather note. So you can sniff something, but in my opinion it's a lot to behave, which is also true for the given patchouli.Conclusion: this is by the book for everyone, from a beginner to the more experienced ones. For a collectionaire it is a must have. And if I was interested in gender signs in fragrances, I would have missed this wonderful opportunity. Essence is one of the most masculine scents we have smelled in a long time, making it one of the best for men. The smell is innovative, bringing together two masculine styles: cologne and the fougere. The result is a relaxed and modern masculine fragrance.

Bottega Veneta pour Homme EdT feels very Italian, in the way vintage Armani Eau pour Homme did. The opening is discreet, classy and restrained. Think linen suits and an attitude of sprezzatura, though BVpH works well all year round (in the UK), in winter as well as warmer weather. This scent is perfect for office/professional work. It won't start to radiate in unexpected ways with physical exertion. Resist any temptation to overspray. Less is more. Of course there are also bags for men at Bottega Veneta. All the more consistent it is then two years after the introduction of the first women's perfume to launch a men's fragrance, so said Bottega Veneta pour Homme Eau de Toilette. The bottle is puristic to match the brand, but still appealing to noble. What a short pleasure! But a shelf life of just under 3.5 hours, it can not have been. Drum had to comparison purposes a second test here: Decent, dignifying, never falsely kind or nice. Concise, direct, diplomatic, but also sharp, demanding and scornful if and when needed.

The opening and the first half hour are top: very fresh by the fruity bergamot, the bright pine and the slightly sweet, yet spicy juniper - striking, expressive, special. But then a light resin comes in, which seems a bit overdone, but fortunately is only more noticeable for about 20 minutes. After this three-quarters of an hour, the fragrance now projects very nicely, as the rest of the heart notes increasingly join in: (even) more spice from spicy allspice, cushioned by a lovely labdanum and later a pleasant leather. A masculine and warm melange at the same time - great! Henceforth, this hardly changes, but thins out somewhat in the next 2.5 hours - at the expense of the sillage.

Launched in 2013, Essence Aromatique represents the signature scent of the house’s leather accessories. The house describes Essence as “…a sophisticated and easy-to-wear cologne.” The fragrance recalls refreshing sensations along with casual masculine elegance. This is a long-lasting Bottega Veneta perfume for men. Ah Bottega, ... you have such a beautiful bottle, but what is wrong with you? Because scent progression, durability and sillage are a single trio curiosity. Or is that just grumbling at a high level and I should have totel my Kommi merely "funzt with me not"?! burnt wood dust" mark on my skin. I like the herbaceous edge and at the same time velvety texture of the Muscatel ointment (which by the way is growing wildly in my garden and is very familiar and appreciated), the ambivalence of the pimento with its four-note harmony of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. I like the resinous, ethereal freshness of pine and fir balm, the near sacred juniper. I like the fact that Bottega Venetta is not what you would call a wummser and yet he has just enough stamina to still feel the balsamic qualities of him on my arm when I fall asleep. In short: I like the individual parts of this fragrance as well as all the associations it evokes in its entirety. There's quality to this. You have the needles and the resin in your hand, you grind it, throw it into the air, let your arms circle and smell your hands - pure ethereal. BVpH gives you a lot of it, but he doesn't kill you with it, because he gives you the freshness of bergamot. Sage and pimento add the spice, rounded off by the balsamic and sweet Labdanum. The allspice is also rather sweetly aromatic, but here I don't care which of the two is the sweeter part, they don't take anything, they just play together perfectly, which by the way also applies to the base notes. The fragrance is round, there is nothing disturbing, there is nothing annoying, there is no restlessness Unfortunately the range and durability is a little bit missing The drydown is one of those where hours later, you have forgotten you are wearing it, and suddenly wonder 'what's that delightful smell ?' and realise it's you. The drydown is different from the opening; only some of the brighter notes remain, more a leathery musky skin scent. In this respect, it reminds me somewhat of the far drydown of current Hermes Bel Ami, after the citrus and spice notes have worn off. Note : I am not saying that BVpH is in any way a leather scent like BA.

The individual ingredients of this creation are all on my I Like list and yet this fragrance surprises me with its fabulous balance. Coniferous wood extracts of all kinds are sometimes equated with granny's spruce needle foam bath from the four-litre bottle or Franzen's brandy - and we are dealing with these extracts three times. Nah, leave the head cinema aside as grandma tips two full caps from the spruce needle foam bath into the tub and after the bath rubs the rotten knees with Franzen's brandy.
