Bottega Veneta has launched a new collection of five fragrances, the first efforts under new licensing arrangements with Kering Beauté. Acqua Sale, Alchemie, Colpo di Sole, Come with Me and Déjà Minuit were inspired by Venice and share a common vetiver note.
Elevated on a base of Verde Saint Denis marble, this tailor-made, supple Intrecciato of ingredients is housed in an organically shaped glass bottle inspired by the artisanal heritage of the Veneto region.
Acqua Sale ~ "Acqua Sale blends woody labdanum absolute from Spain with Macedonian juniper berry, capturing the enveloping scent of saltwater on skin." Additional notes include black pepper, mandarin, sea salt accord, orris, osmanthus, galbanum, vetiver and ecomusk R (Symrise molecule).
Alchemie ~ "An exhilirating and opulent encounter, Alchemie combines vibrant pink pepper with precious myrrh from Somalia." Additional notes include mandarin, nutmeg, leather accord, labdanum, vetiver and sandalwood.
Colpo di Sole ~ "Colpo di Sole captures the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, blending tranquil notes of French Angelica oil with the radiant sensuality of orange blossom." Additional notes include bergamot, osmanthus, ambrette, vanilla, vetiver and ecomusk R.
Come with Me ~ "Come with Me blends the fresh elegance of Italian Bergamot with the powdery violet of French Orris butter." Additional notes include artichoke, carrot seed, jasmine, cabreuva wood, vetiver, vanilla and leather-like skin accord.
Déjà Minuit ~ "Déjà Minuit captures the essence of sophisticated and seductive allure, blending heady notes of Geranium from Madagascar with the spicy warmth of Guatemalan Cardamom." Additional notes include winter lemon, cinammon, jasmine, orange blossom, patchouli, vanilla and vetiver.
Bottega Veneta Acqua Sale, Alchemie, Colpo di Sole, Come with Me and Déjà Minuit are $450 each for refillable 100 ml Eau de Parfum. A discovery set of five x 2.5 ml is $60.

Ouch.
Serious ouch.
Glad I got the first fragrance from BV while it was still around. I doubt any of these will hold a candle to it.
PS. Robin, there is a discrepancy between the third perfume name in the paragraph describing it, and the initial mention. Paragraph has “Colpo di Sole”.
Ha, you’re right, and it’s a direct quote from the BV site, that’s crap on my part not to notice it but I am not charging $450 for the bottle 😉
Thank you!
AH but no, I withdraw my statement, it IS Colpo di Sole. I got the error from reading too many articles…GQ has it wrong, so does Grazia, Fashion Network. So still guessing BV sent out press materials with a typo, but all the same, in this case it is my fault totally.
Too tired to read through this. Hopefully someone will report back! 🥱
A reasonable reaction.
The original fragrances were great.
