Bottega Verde Desìo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Desìo opens with Almond and Cherry, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Bottega Verde's Desìo carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously solid cherry and almond combo, especially for the price. While it leans a bit sweet, it manages to avoid that synthetic bubblegum trap. A crowd-pleaser that's drawing comparisons to much pricier options, so expect widespread appeal.

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

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being overwhelming, as some reviewers pointed out. However, the dominant cherry and almond, often linked to 'night vibes' and dates, push its appropriateness higher for intimate evening occasions, with less fit for formal or active settings.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond

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

Desìo opens with a rich, dark cherry, juicy and tart, perfectly balanced by the creamy bitterness of almond. The heart introduces a soft floral touch from jasmine and rose, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying. It settles into a warm, inviting base of tonka bean, leaving a lingering, subtly sweet and nutty trail that’s utterly addictive. It's a sweet but sophisticated treat.
