Creative Director Thomas Maier spoke about where the inspiration for this fragrance came from: "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."
The scent was created in partnership with Coty and developed by perfumer Michel Almairac. Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum is a leathery floral chypre and it will be available in 50 ml ($95) and 75 ml ($130) and in matching body products.
The fragrance will launch first in the UK at Harrods on July 17, where it will be exclusively available for about a month, with a wider UK distribution in August. It will be available elsewhere in Europe in September and in the US the first launch will be at Bergdorf Goodman in New York on September 8. It will get a wider US distribution in November.
