Best Knot by Bottega Veneta Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

A floral abundance of radiant orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley, given extra oomph by sultry jasmine sambac. An incredibly holographic progression from dewy green to heady roawr, aided and abetted by musk and guiacwood.

A moody reinterpretation of Neroli, where time slows and senses gently drift. Bright Moroccan Neroli blossoms entwine with the dark, green attitude of Cannabis Leaf. This duet is sweetened by the warm, honeyed richness of Beeswax Absolute. Zesty Green Mandarin and luxurious Orange Blossom Water float the composition into a sparkling cloud of citrus. Elegant Orris Root gives sophisticated grounding. Drift in a spaced-out summer haze.

This “divine flower” is a luminous, untamed floral that captures the serenity of nature in motion. It starts bright and light: lemongrass and passion fruit, opening up to peony and lily of the valley. Watery, ethereal cyclamen drenches the richness of jasmine, ylang-ylang and narcissus like dew over a meadow. The drydown is green, a mingling of eucalyptus and sage with peppermint, juniper and pine, grounded by 
Mysore sandalwood and a hint of vanilla bourbon.

Spiritually, number one represents beginnings, focus and determination. Kajal l, with its fresh, engaging warmth, has been crafted to underscore one’s innate dignity and charisma. Cassis, grapefruit and mandarin provide the big “hello!”. Guaiac wood, cardamom, orange blossom and cashmeran draw people in, while a soft vanillic cloud of sandalwood and oud extend the allure.

An opening of citric and fizzy lemon combined with bright lime and bergamot, salty and refreshing, just like those Mediterranean summers.

The sharp salty accord lends further depth and keeps the lemon note true throughout the long-lasting dry down; interspersed with the bright combination of musks and patchouli.

An aromatic cologne with a very classic feel: various fresh herbs, lavender and neroli.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 001 if you like colognes on the drier, more herbaceous side.

Perfumer for 001: Nathalie Koobus.

A fresh citrus perfume in which the bergamot aroma at the core is gently wrapped in soft, musky orange blossom and green neroli.

As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. For Bergamotto Di Calabria they acquired special “sponge extraction” bergamot oil from Capua. In this region the traditional artisans still perform the extraction manually. Each fruit is sliced in half, the pulp removed, and the rind pressed on a natural sponge in a circular motion to collect the essence. The bergamot rind extract obtained with this method has the most delicate and complex aroma, with a hint of jasmine.

The blend also contains orange blossom absolute from the Italian Capua, Paraguaian petitgrain (the distillation of the twigs from the bitter orange tree), pepper from Timor Island, Moroccan neroli, and Haitian vetiver.

Dilmun is heaven for the ancient people of Mesopotamia, the Garden of the Sun where bushes are laden with buds, where flowering plants climb, and lapis lazuli leaves are mixed with sweet fruits. A sunny, radiant fragrance where notes of Neroli and Orange blossoms develop against a background of Opoponax and Incense, aromatic woods and Vanilla, with green undertones of Laurel leaves.

Explorethe very soul of the orange blossom in Fleur d’Oranger, a singular scent paletteto enchant the senses. Sparkling petitgrain from the bitter orange tree isswathed in a neroli floral accord before unfurling across an orange blossommellowed with musky magnetism.

The orange blossom, symbol of a sweet and gentle way of life, shares itssultry, indescribably delectable freshness in Fleur d’Oranger.

Lacura, the name of this perfume extrait sounds a bit like Latin or some magic language for "protection or cure".

It’s an uplifting nectarous woody citrus formula that has the complete set of wonderful perfume materials from the bitter orange tree: bigarade oil from the fruit, neroli and orange blossom absolute from the bloom and the fresh woody petigrain from leaves and twigs. That citrus and fresh woody plenty is layered with voluminous modern musks (velvety Velutone), gleaming vanilla, caramel and benzoin.

In the times when most people still believed in the magic of scent, orange blossom was considered to be a symbol/good charm for marital harmony and bliss (and often it’s still part of brides’ bouquets) and also an aphrodisiac.

Mendittorosa still believe in perfume magic crafting their blends in the old town of Napoli and Lacura is their recipe for lifting moods and happy dreams.
