Bottega Veneta Eau Legere by Bottega Veneta is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Bottega Veneta Eau Legere was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Almairac. Top notes are Pink Pepper and Bergamot; middle notes are Gardenia and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss and Musk. Bottega Veneta launched the self-titled debut perfume in 2011. This fragrance of simply elegance is inspired by Venetian landscapes. In early 2013, a new version of the debut, the second fragrance Bottega Veneta Eau Legere comes out. Tomas Maier, the creative director of the house, explains the idea behind the new fragrance: “I wanted something completely new, a creation that combines the sensuality of the original Bottega Veneta fragrance with the clarity and freshness of water.” Michel Almairac, the creator of both perfumes, described the process of developing a new version as “passing the original fragrance through a waterfall." The composition is leathery - floral - chypre and it opens with refreshed dazzling top notes of the original which include bergamot and pink pepper. The scent retains its unique floral accord of jasmine, this time animated by delicate gardenia. Combination of oak moss and musk form a feminine and delicate trail. The new advertising campaign will again feature Nine d'Urso. The campaign is shot by Bruce Weber. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette.

A Signature Fragrance

Oakmoss
Oakmoss, derived from lichens growing on oak trees, exudes an unmistakable blend of damp forest floor and mossy green. Its scent is both deep and complex, with hints of woodsy freshness that evoke the quiet solitude of a shaded grove.

Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.

Gardenia
Gardenia blooms are the epitome of pure white floral notes, their scent richly sweet yet clean, reminiscent of fresh cut flowers and the humid warmth of summer gardens. Originating from tropical regions, this flower's aroma is often described as a blend of jasmine and tuberose with a subtle hint of green.
