Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
The world first encountered Lei by Bottega Verde in 2011. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the chypre and floral families. Lei is part of the Lei collection. Released in eau de parfum.
Made in Italy. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Lei is shaped as a living composition, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Bottega Verde is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
Right at the start you detect invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit and Orange. These 3 notes build a sensation of cool purity that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the middle phase you meet Jasmine, Lychee, Mimosa and Rose holding a harmonious floral direction.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc without random overlap. Background accords such as Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Whiteflower, Fruit and Floral. It also reaches into Musk, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Chypre and Floral.
Overall Lei reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
