Bottega Veneta has launched Alta, a collection of ten new Eaux de Parfum that marks the next chapter in the house’s fragrance project. While the first collection anchored itself in Venetian heritage, Alta widens the frame, reimagining Italy in dialogue with the world.
The core idea is the “Intrecciato duo,” weaving together an ingredient from Italy with one from elsewhere. The collection moves between brightness and warmth, citrus and resin, lightness and depth. Some combinations are unexpected. Ricordami pairs stracciatella ice cream with oakwood. Always Now sets Italian basil against vetiver from Madagascar. Montebello draws from the house’s atelier gardens in Veneto, combining blood orange with North African neroli. Balliamo matches Italian white fig with American cedarwood. Bare Morning brings together talco accord and sandalwood. Slow Rise works with late summer roses and French clary sage. Moment After softens Italian leather accords with vanilla. Night Sounds merges saffron accord with Vietnamese benzoin. Velvet Steps pairs syrupy plum accord with Spanish labdanum. Crepuscolo contrasts Fior di Sale with South Asian oud.
The bottle translates the Intrecciato leather weave into sculptural glass, with a wooden cap and gold-finished ring that reference Venetian architecture and jewellery craft. Each bottle is refillable, available in 50ml and 100ml formats, and made using recycled glass.
