THEat midnight It is the silent border between what has been and what can still be. It is the hour of the whispered promises, of the deepest thoughts. How he wrote Emily Dickinson: «At midnight, each looks for something, often itself». It is to this Suspended time, qhe is no longer yesterday, but not yet tomorrow, that Bottega Veneta dedicates a trio of new fragrances, to compose the “midnight” collection. And if the darkness is introspection, the dawn is rebirth. Lights and shadows, both, are inseparable parts of change, and remember that a new beginning is always possible.
Bottega Veneta, the scent of a new day
Almost Dawn It is the olfactory incarnation of this magical transition: the dawn, the time when the quiet shadow of the night slowly opens in the light of the new. Its notes merge with harmony, like the rhythms of the cosmos. Inspired by the first light of the morningthis olfactory composition is a silent tribute to calm And the optimism with which the world is observed, before it starts to scroll away, with its times. It is also an act of optimism, of confidence discreet in new possibilities.
The warm and enveloping roundness of the chestnut evokes the earth, The slow fire of a heat that welcomes and comforts. To this solid and reassuring base the sophisticated intensity of the truffle, which gives a touch of mystery and sensuality, Like the wake of the darkness that slowly fades. Everything is softened by one Precious vanilla, a kind caress to the soul And pursuant to. Almost Dawn It is an intimate and yet expansive fragrance, which remains close to the skin but also knows how to make room in the air, leaving a bright trail.
A work of art of a bottle
The fragrance is enclosed in a Glass bottle that seems to be modeled by nature: The silhouette is fluid and organic, almost shaped by the water, And then sealed by the sculpted wood of the cap. At the base, A sculptural element, a Marquina black marble pedestaldark as a Venetian night. Faithful to the artisan and material spirit of the maison, i bottles of all fragrances are real art objectsAnd, with the glass and its soft curvatures that pay homage to the millennial story of Murano.
The marble, solid and royal, instead recalls the earthly force of nature. Each element dialogues with others in a refined balancein a meeting that transforms the composition into an experience to touch, look and wear.
A family that widens
Thus continues the Rolfactory down payment started with the launch of the first collection of fragrances signed Bottega Veneta, last autumn.
The other two new entries? Hinokiwhich combines the balsamic notes of the Abete, the precious Japanese wood of Hinodi and the sensuality of the patchouli, to evoke a walk in an ancient forest, e Good morning midnightwhich instead combines the elegance of the Thai Oaud with an opulent rose and a note of wood of forest, metaphor of optimism and joy of life. The fil rouge is always the concept of “olfactory intertwining”: a meeting of essences from all over the world, expertly harmonized to give life to perfumes with a unique personality. Like each of us. And each of our new days.
