Tomas Maier's vision for Bottega Veneta's new fragrance, Knot, conjures an escape to the Italian Riviera. Situated in the lush hills there is a home, a sanctuary from reality, overlooking the sparkling sea. First impressions are shaped by an exotic and bright clementine tree accord, based on mandarin, limette, neroli and orange flower. At the fragrance's heart are intense notes of lavender, a key aspect and unusual addition that lends to the uniqueness of the fragrance, gesturing toward the green hills, and the sense of crispness reminiscent of freshly laundered linens within an Italian seaside home. Rich floral notes of rose and peony provide lush sensuality,while musk and tonka bean serve as a counterpoint to the fruity notes. All together, the bright, floral fragrance is meticulously layered to offer an unexpected, delightful experience; an identity of its own, that is destined to leave a lasting memory.
