Dear Jordan
Great minds must think alike… today I do the female http://theperfumeddandy.com/2013/09/26/first-steps-into-the-spotlight-bottega-veneta-by-bottega-veneta-the-perfumed-dandys-scented-letter/ and you the male.
As ever Persolaise speaks wise words!
Yours ever

Dear Dandy,
A remarkable and lovely coincidence. We launched on the same day too.
Wishing you…
Serendipity Always,
Jordan River
I tried this the other day for the first time. Probably too soon to provide a proper opinion but I thought it was decent without blowing me away too much. I hope thats not damning with faint praise! It is leathery, but not a heavy leather at all and the pine and pepper was more prominent on my skin.
Sounds office friendly rather than Saturday night.
I’m waiting for this one since I liked their first perfume. But I hate that ad.
Lol, easy to miss the handsome bottle tucked into the corner. The stock has made it to Canada so I guess your wait will not be long.
Will look forward to hearing what you think of this, Jordan. I like the feminine version a lot, but it needs a bit more leather … I’m thinking the masculine version might be even more to my taste.
The female version is more suede than leather so the men’s is sure to amp that up. You might smell this before me. I will keep an eye out on APJ.
How come everyone has tested the femme version but me? I’ll have to seek it out, because the homme version is nicely done…I’m sure the feminine version is as well 🙂
It is great. Almost bought it but am waiting to compare with this one.
