Pour Homme Essence Aromatique

It is described by the house as a juice inspired by the freshness of a summer day on the Italian coast, with the warmth of the sun, the gentleness of the wind. In other words, it is a perfect embodiment of the Dolce Vita. While this kind of description may seem to have been heard a thousand times, it must be said that here it is very successful, particularly authentic, a touch vintage without appearing dated.

A fragrance created by perfumer Amandine Marie

Amandine Marie is a perfumer who lives her craft with passion and who is endowed with a genuine innate talent for this field. Generally, she enjoys drawing on her encounters and memories to create new fragrances. A highly creative nose, she treats perfumery as an art form in its own right, one she never stops setting in motion. Her fragrances are thus each conceived as true paintings. On the occasion of the release of Bottega Veneta’s Essence Aromatique, this bold creator takes us to the heart of authentic Italy. Essence Aromatique Pour Homme appears as a perfect counterpart to its feminine equivalent. It offers a moment of calm and relaxation with tonalities that are at once fresh, woody and leathery.

Essence Aromatique Pour Homme, an Eau de Cologne revisited

Eau de Cologne embodies the beginnings of modern perfumery. It accompanied men in their daily lives for a very long time but, although its freshness was highly appreciated, its longevity tended to fade quickly. Essence Aromatique Pour Homme thus seems to have retained the dynamism of a Cologne while adding more longevity to it. It is a distinguished and pleasant fragrance combining an invigorating sensation reminiscent of a sea breeze with a sensual and voluptuous warmth as if from the Far East. Its scent opens on the fresh, tangy facet of bergamot and lemon. Then these two citrus notes give way to a more aromatic and vibrant heart. This is composed notably of Indonesian patchouli leaves and Siberian pine. Finally, it is in its base that Essence Aromatique Pour Homme reveals all its masculine elegance, expressed through a woody, leathery sillage, intense and persistent. The whole proves to be lightly amber while remaining fresh. It is housed in a frosted glass bottle that is both simple and modern, topped with a very urban chrome-plated metal cap. Its bluish-gray tint, in turn, echoes perfectly the fresh masculinity it contains.
