Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Michel Almairac and Mylène Alran. Eau de Velours opens with Bergamot and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Leather and Patchouli. Bottega Veneta's Eau de Velours carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, plush fruity leather that's all about quiet luxury and understated power. It's universally loved and tragically discontinued, making it a cult favourite for a reason.

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.

Its moderate projection and sophisticated leather-plum-rose profile make it ideal for dates and formal events, leaving an impression without overwhelming. The lack of fresh notes and its rich, warm character make it entirely unsuitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine smooth, supple suede, not rough leather, infused with the opulent sweetness of dark, ripe plum and just a hint of juicy rose. A warm whisper of spice and earthy patchouli adds depth and intrigue, creating an alluring, elegant aura that feels both classic and modern. It's a rich, velvety scent, like slipping into a favourite cashmere coat.
