Essence Aromatique

Bottega Veneta Essence Aromatique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Essence Aromatique opens with Coriander and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Bottega Veneta's Essence Aromatique carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one's a proper chameleon: some get Shalimar, some get weed, others get bug spray. Universally praised for its versatility and uniqueness, but divisive on initial sniff. Stick with it though, and you'll find a beautifully complex, gender-neutral aromatic experience.

Its moderate projection and fresh yet grounding aromatic-woody character make it versatile for most settings, particularly casual and office wear. While some reviewers note excellent longevity, its character as an 'aromatic essence' steers it away from being a powerhouse scent for formal events.

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost bitter aromatic blast of coriander and tart bergamot. As it settles, a soft, clean rose emerges, gently cradled by a creamy vanilla and tonka bean, bringing a touch of powdery warmth. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood, creating a surprisingly nuanced and comforting skin scent that belies its initial sharp edges.
