Bottega Veneta Bottega Veneta Pour Homme

Opens with a clean, slightly sharp bergamot cut through by a dry pepper bite — more crack of black pepper than spice rack. The violet leaf keeps things green and a little cold, never sweet. As it settles, cedar takes over the heart with a quiet, unshowy woodiness that feels almost understated for the price point. The dry-down is vetiver-forward and faintly smoky, with musk holding everything close to the skin. Projection is modest; sillage stays personal. Wears long but never announces itself — a weekday office fragrance for men who prefer restraint over statement.
