Bottega VenetaRicordami

Description Ricordami is stracciatella gelato turned into a grown-up perfume: milky vanilla and dark chocolate shavings, grounded by oak. The name is Italian for "remember me", and it is part of Alta, the ten-scent Eau de Parfum collection Bottega Veneta launched in June 2026. Each Alta scent pairs one Italian ingredient with one from elsewhere in the world, a nod to the woven Intrecciato leather the house is known for. Here the Italian half is the stracciatella accord and the other half is the oakwood beneath it. A splash of rum opens it, a soft woody-ambery heart of Ambrox Super, patchouli and Dreamwood carries it, and it settles into vanilla, oak, a thread of frankincense and clean musks. Early press coverage picked it as a favorite of the collection, a gourmand that is sweet without being heavy. Bottega Veneta has not named the perfumer. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Rum, Paradisone Heart: Ambrox Super, Patchouli, Dreamwood Base: Vanilla, Oak, Frankincense, Helvetolide, Muscenone Note: Paradisone, Ambrox Super, Dreamwood, Helvetolide and Muscenone are modern perfumery materials. Paradisone adds a transparent jasmine-like lift, Ambrox Super and Dreamwood give ambery, creamy woods, and Helvetolide and Muscenone are clean musks. Performance Longevity: Not yet settled. Ricordami launched in mid-2026 and wearer reports are still few. Sillage: Soft to moderate, based on early impressions. Projection: Expect it to stay fairly close, around arm's length, rather than fill a room. An honest note: the musk-and-vanilla base is built to cling to skin and fabric, so it may outlast its projection. Wear it for a full day before judging it. Best Occasions & Season Best in Fall and Winter, and anywhere a warm, comforting gourmand fits: dinners, evenings in, slow weekends. It is unisex. Skip it if you want something fresh for summer heat.
