Bottega Veneta have started to unveil their debut perfume, Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum. Bottega’s own creative director, Thomas Maier, shared what drove the vision for the fragrance was a very particular atmosphere which he describes in the following terms: “An old house in the beautiful countryside in the Veneto region of Italy with rolling green hills, where we’re from. I envisioned a room with old wood floors, library walls and leather-bound books with the windows open wide, the breeze coming in and cut grass, hay, moss, garden flowers, growing through the room and everything mixing up. That’s where we started.”
Priced at $95 for 1.7 oz. and $130 for a 2.5-oz. size, Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum will hit Harrods on July 17, with a rollout to 48 other British doors on Aug. 14. In the United States, it will debut at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City on September 8—just in time for Fashion Week—before rolling out to other departments stores.
