I'm here to admire your sweater and wish you a wonderful holiday season. One collection less to bother with is great for me! Thanks for your review. Ps I have always liked the look of the old bottles but never sampled the older offerings.
Loved the honest response in this video. I have a bottle of the original and will be content with that. And, it was a million times less expensive that $450 US. Thanks for the reviews. 😊
I had the funny experience of entering a Bottega boutique a couple weeks ago and thinking someone in the store had doused themselves in CDG2 Man until I saw the display of this new line and realized it was coming from there. Maybe it's all the vetiver running through the line. I found Alechemie a nice mix of leather and resins but there's no world in which I'd be parting with $450 for any of these! It's sad as Bottega has really been doing stellar on the fashion side of things. I had similarly high expectations and let down from the Dries Van Noten line.
All these companies who dump that much money into the bottle design but can't make a stellar perfume puzzle me. Just get into sculpture if that's what you like, why pretend to care about perfume?
I wondered what was going on with their fragrances the last couple years. Most of them just stopped. They didn't all work for me but they were well done and interesting. I love Knot Absolue. And Illusione for women is a gorgeous scent i still get compliments on regularly.
Somebody gave me samples of three of these. I liked the Iris (Come with me?) but the price is not worth even the rather interesting bottle and it’s far from unique. Those sample vials break into fragments very easily!!

Thanks very much indeed. All the best to you too.

Thanks very much for watching.
I adore Come With Me. It gets better and better on my skin 😍
That's good to know. Thanks for watching.
Do you think they might have smelt better directly on your skin , rather than the blotter?
They may certainly have smelt slightly different. I did try a few on skin before the broadcast.
Thanks very much for watching.

Yes, the DvN line is a bit of a nothing too, isn't it.
Thanks very much for watching.

Ha! Good point. There's probably much more money to be made from perfume.
I loved the original scent and adored the flanker Velours and miss that one in particular.
Yes, the original one was really good.

Yes, I think there were several good ones in the old line-up.
Thanks for watching.
I got a big bottle of the original Pour Homme and I like it a lot.
It’s a shame their higher end offerings aren’t really that high end :(
Yes, a real shame.
Thanks for watching.

Yes, Come With Me is the best one... but there are far better perfumes around at that price point.

Sorry about that. I'm afraid I have no control over what TH-cam does with the comments.
