Bottega Veneta launches its new fragrance collection titled “ALTA”, the house’s most expansive line to date. Composed of ten new Eau de Parfum expressions, the collection represents the evolution of the house’s olfactory exploration, reimagining Italy as a whole in dialogue with the world.

Built around the concept of “Intrecciato duo”, the collection weaves together one ingredient from Italy and another from elsewhere in the world, exploring cross-cultural exchange through scent. Balancing light, fresh notes of citrus and aromatics with dark and richer wood and resin notes, the collection redefines what “Italian” smells like.

Always Now anchors the vibrancy of Italian basil accord in the refined intensity of vetiver Bourbon essence from Madagascar. Montebello draws inspiration from the house’s atelier gardens in Veneto, rooted in the brightness of blood orange and layered with the delicacy and depth of North African neroli. Balliamo evokes a warm summer evening, combining lush Italian white fig with the resonance of American cedarwood.

Bare Morning entwines the powdery softness of Italian talco accord with the elegance of Oceania sandalwood, an intimate and skin-like encounter. Unfolding on the skin, Slow Rise blossoms with late summer’s roses and with French clary sage. Reimagining childhood nostalgia, Ricordami sees stracciatella ice cream unexpectedly grounded by oakwood.

Moment After softens Italian leather, accords with the smooth warmth of vanilla, suggesting subtle sensuality. Night Sounds merges Italian saffron accord with Vietnamese benzoin for a warm, resinous, nocturnal feeling. Velvet Steps brings together syrupy Italian plum accord and richly enveloping Spanish labdanum. Evoking the moment of dusk, Crepuscolo contrasts the salty brightness of Fior di Sale and the deeper tones of South Asian oud. 

The house interprets the iconic diagonal rhythm of the signature Intrecciato leather weave into the Alta bottles in sculptural glass. Constructed using recycled glass, the bottles feature a wooden cap and gold-finish ring referencing Venetian architecture and fine jewellery craftsmanship. The design maintains visual continuity with the house’s previous collections, with each bottle coming in refillable 50 ml and 100 ml formats. 

Alta is also accompanied by a series of bespoke woven leather accessories, launching across Bottega Veneta boutiques and leading department stores worldwide.
