BUT something happened to my skin chemistry and I just cannot wear anything leathery anymore, both this and Serge Lutens Daim Blond now get really animalic and acrid on me. I was expecting much more wood or leather from the fragrantica breakdown but it's predominantly a sweet floral.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. Though I think it’d be perfect in a professional setting, any woman over the age of 25 could rock it on most occasions (I as a 20-year-old feel a little young for it, but there’s no way I’m letting that stop me). I can’t really understand the reviews describing this as “feminine” or “soft” as I find it very bold, even dark, in your face oppressive, a tiny bit screechy and not at all friendly. Wanted to try it because my name is Veneta,I thought it would be really funny if actually fell inlove with it since I'm so picky.

Despite a similar note somewhere in each they are different enough that having a bottle of each would be warranted. Scents can be empowering and motivating through my journey, and I feel more confident when I wear the right one.Once upon a time it was incredibly unique but it’s been copied so many times that it may seem like you’ve smelled it elsewhere. Tomas Maier, the creative director, describes the inspiration for this creation: “An old house in the beautiful countryside in the Veneto region of Italy with rolling green hills, where we’re from.

What I mean is that, to my nose, Bottega Veneta is quite undecided, the leather is just an impression but undefined.

I could see a hot older man or woman carrying this off - NOT because it's "old" smelling, but because the sophistication and confidence level has to be high to wear this fragrance.Even my father complimented me on this, and he’s only ever worn Cool Water and Eau Sauvage because he’s never really moved on from the 1970s conception of masculinity. She wears a crisp button-up and cashmere scarf; mohair sweaters and moto jackets, black patent leather heels, and pale pink nude nail polish. And, other than the rather thick jasmine/floral heartnotes, I see no reason why a man could not wear this scent. On seeing this House had released a scent, my first knee-jerk reaction was: "OH NO, say it isn't so! I Sense no Leather, I feel the discrete sweetness and warmth Which i like very much, Which reminds me slightly of Mania from Armani Which I once wore, discontonued I Believe, that was a really heavy , spicy , sweet one, Undortunately a little bit too masculine, but this one - BV- has what I believe is the patchouli ( I Think patchouli is a very interesting smell, a little bit difficult since it can dominante ), I am not sure of it is the patchouli , but it drenches the sweetness into a more cold, negative , complicated, Almost metallic scent, that for me - ruins it.
