Bottega Veneta Almost Dawn is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Almost Dawn opens with Chestnut, settles into a heart of Truffle, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Bottega Veneta's Almost Dawn carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a sophisticated, smooth vanilla dream, while others are catching burnt chemicals and headaches. Definitely one to try on your skin before committing - because your nose might pick up something entirely different.

About

Almost Dawn opens with the warmth of roasted chestnut, a uniquely nutty and slightly sweet introduction. It swiftly deepens into an earthy, almost savoury truffle heart, which then settles onto a rich, creamy vanilla base. This isn't your average sweet vanilla; it's a complex, balanced blend with an underlying animalic depth and a powdery, balsamic finish, making for a smooth yet edgy aroma.
