Bottega Veneta L'Absolu by Bottega Veneta is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Bottega Veneta L'Absolu was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Almairac. Top notes are Bergamot and Pink Pepper; middle note is Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Leather, Patchouli, Ambroxan and Vanilla. Bottega Veneta introduces 'L'Absolu' Eau de Parfum in fall 2018, offering a more intense take on the signature leather chypre of the first Eau de Parfum. The new interpretation honours the use of the finest natural raw materials synonymous with Bottega Veneta fragrances. Created by master perfumer Michel Almairac in collaboration with Bottega Veneta, the warm and enveloping blend is identifiable by a familiar leathery accord that is emphasized by jasmine sambac absolute and ambroxan for a sensual finish. The addition of ambroxan, a multi-faceted ingredient evocative of natural ambergris, brings new depth to the final structure. The notes of this floral leathery chypre combine to deliver an aroma with musky, woody and amber-imbued accords.The bottle, inspired by Venetian glass, is colored in ombré rosewood. Bottega Veneta L'Absolu is available as a 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

A Signature Fragrance
Leather
Leather is more than just an aroma; it’s a texture, a memory of old books or vintage leather goods. Its scent can be earthy and warm, sometimes tinged with the subtle smokiness of tanning processes, evoking a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.
Patchouli
Patchouli emanates from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a bush native to Southeast Asia. Its scent is deeply woody with hints of musty earth, warm spices, and a subtle sweetness that can be both comforting and complex. This versatile note has been a staple in perfumery for decades, often used to evoke feelings of nostalgia and grounding.
Ambroxan
Ambroxan is a synthetic musk derivative, capturing the essence of amber and wood notes. It evokes the rich warmth of sun-soaked sandalwood and the deep, smoky undertones of incense, with a hint of sweetness that lingers on the skin like a gentle embrace.
