Bottega Veneta Colpo di Sole is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Alexandra Carlin. Colpo di Sole opens with Angelica and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Osmanthus, and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Bottega Veneta's Colpo di Sole carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it effortlessly elegant and luxurious, others smell cleaning products and disappointment. It's either a dream summer scent or an overpriced detergent - no middle ground here.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, coupled with its fresh, clean character, make it versatile. While some find it office-appropriate for its understated elegance, its 'sun-warmed' and 'expensive holiday' vibe leans it more towards casual and date wear.

About

Colpo di Sole opens with a vibrant, fresh burst of bergamot, uplifted by the green, slightly peppery nuance of angelica. The heart unfolds into a soft floral bouquet, with the creamy, apricot-tinged sweetness of osmanthus blending beautifully with delicate orange blossom and the subtle warmth of ambrette. As it dries, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by earthy vetiver and a hint of smooth, comforting vanilla, settling into a sun-warmed, sophisticated skin scent.
