The design of this Eau de Toilette bottle embodies the spirit of refined, effortless refreshment through both form and gesture. Conceived around the traditional Mediterranean and Latin ritual of the splash — where fresh, aromatic waters are applied generously by hand — the bottle has been shaped to enhance this sensory interaction. Its generous proportions, smooth curvature, and balanced weight invite an intuitive, tactile use that celebrates the spontaneity of this timeless gesture.
The glass surface features an intricate mermaid motif, a design element drawn from an original fountain in Montebello, Vicenza — a symbolic link to the house’s artisanal heritage and mastery of craftsmanship. The interplay of light across the sculpted glass evokes the movement of water, reinforcing the idea of vitality and renewal that defines the fragrance experience.
The secondary packaging extends this dialogue between tradition and modernity. The box is adorned with the iconic Intrecciato texture — the icon of Bottega Veneta’s craftsmanship — reinterpreted here as a subtle relief pattern that evokes the tactile beauty of hand-woven leather. This detail serves as a bridge between the brand’s heritage in artisanal design and the contemporary expression of its fragrance world, uniting materiality, memory, and identity in a single gesture of refined simplicity.
