Bottega Veneta is deepening its presence in luxury fragrance with Alta, a sculptural new collection of ten Eau de Parfum that pairs Italian ingredients with notes from around the world and bottles them in glass flacons echoing the house’s iconic Intrecciato weave.
A new chapter in Bottega Veneta scent
With Alta, Bottega Veneta opens “a new chapter” in its olfactory journey, expanding its fragrance universe beyond earlier, Venice focused launches. The collection comprises ten distinct Eau de Parfum expressions, each conceived as its own story rather than simple flankers, effectively doubling the number of scents offered compared to the house’s previous perfume family. Beauty editors describe the line as a “worldly” wardrobe of scents that can be layered, rotated and edited much like the brand’s ready to wear.
The Intrecciato duo concept
At the heart of Alta is the idea of the “Intrecciato duo”, a direct nod to Bottega Veneta’s leather weaving technique. Each fragrance weaves together one ingredient from Italy, the house’s country of origin, with a second note sourced from elsewhere in the world, creating what the brand calls “unique compositions” and a “global tale” told through scent. This might mean a quintessentially Italian note like citrus or creamy gourmand nuances set against spices, woods or florals from other regions, balancing freshness and warmth, lightness and depth in unexpected pairings.
From citrus lightness to resinous depth
The Alta line is structured as a sensory progression “from the freshness of citrus and lightness of aromatics to the depth of resins and warmth of wood,” inviting wearers to travel through different moods. Early reviews highlight compositions that play with contrasts: bright, sunlit openings that dry down into textured, woody bases; gourmand touches set against airy musks; and classic Italian references reimagined with contemporary accords. Beauty writers note that the collection feels tailored to both day and night, city and escape, giving fragrance collectors a tightly edited but varied set of options.
Bottles inspired by Intrecciato and Venetian craft
Visually, Alta translates the house’s codes into object form. The iconic Intrecciato leather weave becomes an undulating glass bottle, its surface rippling like woven strips, topped with a sculptural wooden cap and a gold finished ring referencing Venetian architecture and craftsmanship. The flacons are available in 50 ml and 100 ml formats, with select markets offering refillable options, and are launching across Bottega Veneta boutiques and leading department stores alongside bespoke woven leather accessories for the collection.
Availability and pricing position
On the brand’s official site, Alta appears as a dedicated fragrance chapter under “By Collection,” sitting at the very top of the Bottega Veneta perfume offer. Retailers and beauty titles report that individual Alta scents are priced in the high luxury bracket, around 300 dollars for select sizes in key markets, positioning them as statement pieces for collectors rather than entry level buys. The line is rolling out globally across 2026, with regional e commerce availability and in store installations highlighting both the glass design and the Italian meets global ingredient storytelling.
