Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

LeatheryWhat does Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours smell like?
It opens with bergamot and pink pepper; in the heart, plum, jasmine, rose absolute and spices come forward. At the base, leather and patchouli settle the scent onto a dry, woody ground. The overall impression is fruity, powdery and slightly oriental.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure, evening, night out and business all draw almost equal votes. It reads mostly feminine, though a fair number call it classic. Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum and Lancôme Trésor L'Absolu de Parfum have a close profile.
