Bottega Veneta
Italian quiet luxury, translated into scent.
Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 in Vicenza by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro, originally as a leather atelier built around the now-iconic intrecciato weave. Acquired by Kering in 2001, the house has since become a reference for quiet luxury — minimal logos, considered materials, deliberate restraint. The fragrance line launched in 2011 under the creative direction of Tomas Maier, with the first eau de parfum composed by Michel Almairac. The work tends toward soft leathers, powdery iris, and warm florals, echoing the leather-goods heritage rather than chasing department-store trends. Subsequent releases under the Pour Homme and Knot lines have stayed within the same understated register. Fragrance is licensed through Coty's luxury division. The result remains recognisably Bottega: well-made, unhurried, and largely uninterested in shouting.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
