Bottega Veneta Ricordami

Ricordami — Italian for “remember me” — is part of Bottega Veneta’s ten-fragrance Alta collection. The official pyramid opens with rum facets and Paradisone®, moves through Ambrox® Super, patchouli essence and Dreamwood®, and settles into a stracciatella accord, vanilla infusion, musks, oak chip and olibanum.

What does Bottega Veneta Ricordami smell like?

The 100 ml Eau de Parfum is built around a memory of stracciatella ice cream, but the wood, patchouli, ambered materials and incense keep the concept from being only dessert-like.

Ricordami appears to combine a milky chocolate-vanilla effect with dry woods and resinous depth. Rum may warm the opening, while modern musks and Ambrox can produce the skin-close polish that defines Alta’s positioning. Wear testing will determine whether gourmand or woody facets dominate.

• Autumn — 9/10: one of its strongest seasons; the profile feels balanced and fully expressive.
• Winter — 9/10: one of its strongest seasons; the profile feels balanced and fully expressive.
• Spring — 6/10: can work in selected situations, although it is not the fragrance’s most natural setting.
• Summer — 4/10: is generally less comfortable for this structure, so sampling is advisable.

Who is it for?
