New at Bottega
After much anticipation, Bottega Veneta’s highly sought-after fragrance line is now available in Malaysia, bringing the Italian house’s olfactory universe to local shores. First announced last year, the debut marked a significant moment for the brand, extending its design language beyond leather and ready to wear into an olfactory expression rooted in craft and place.
Explore Bottega Veneta’s fragrance line now available in Malaysia, from the original Venetian-inspired scents to the deeper Mezzanotte collection.
From the outset, the collection drew attention not only for being Bottega Veneta’s first foray into fragrance, but also for how it was presented. The sculptural bottles, inspired by Venetian glassmaking and finished with marble bases and wooden caps, immediately set the line apart. Designed to be refillable and made with sustainable materials, they sit comfortably between function and object, intended to be kept, used and displayed.
The Original Fragrance Collection
Inspired by Venice’s history as a crossroads of cultures, the original collection brings together natural-origin ingredients sourced from across the globe. Each scent is composed to unfold gradually on the skin, revealing its character over time rather than at first spray.
- Colpo di Sole is warm and gently luminous, pairing soft green notes with orange blossom to evoke a sunlit, Mediterranean ease. It feels relaxed and refined, with a natural warmth that sits close to the skin.
- Come With Me offers a fresher expression, combining bright citrus with powdery florals. It’s clean, elegant, understated and polished, suited to everyday wear without feeling generic.
- Acqua Sale takes inspiration from saltwater on skin. Juniper and labdanum create a mineral, lightly woody impression that feels airy and modern.
- Déjà Minuit leans into a quieter sensuality. Geranium and cardamom bring together floral coolness and a soft spice that’s equally romantic and restrained.
- Alchemie is the richest of the five, blending pink pepper with myrrh for a warm, resinous finish. It feels considered rather than heavy, offering depth and a touch of sexiness.
The Mezzanotte Collection
Expanding on this universe, Bottega Veneta has introduced the Mezzanotte Collection, a trio of fragrances defined by deeper tones and precious woods. Named after the Italian word for midnight, the collection explores a more introspective mood while maintaining the House’s signature mood.
- Hinoki is calm and grounding, built around fir balsam and hinoki wood with a soft layer of patchouli. Its clean, woody and designed to feel restorative and almost meditative.
- Goodmorning Midnight introduces a more expressive contrast. Oud and rose are lifted with an unexpected note of wild strawberry, creating a scent that feels open and quietly playful.
- Almost Dawn is warm and enveloping, blending chestnut, truffle and vanilla into something both intimate and luminous. It sits gently on the skin, favouring subtlety and balance over sweetness.
Presented in the same organically shaped bottles, the Mezzanotte fragrances are distinguished by Black Marquina marble bases, adding a darker, more grounded visual note to the collection.
With its arrival in Malaysia, Bottega Veneta’s fragrance line offers a thoughtful entry into scent, one that mirrors the House’s wider design philosophy. Restrained, tactile and carefully crafted, the original collection retails for RM2100, whilst the Mezzanotte collection is available for RM2500 at all Bottega Veneta stores.
