For the discerning gentleman who appreciates an impeccably curated home environment, Bottega Veneta‘s latest offering goes beyond fashion. The house has unveiled a collection of scented candles, each meticulously crafted to enhance both olfactory and visual experiences.
Inspired by the label’s unwavering commitment to its artisanal heritage, these candles are not just functional objects, but miniature works of art. Hand-poured in Italy and housed in unique volcano-glazed clay pots, the collection pays homage to Bottega Veneta’s Venetian roots. The subtle variations of the glaze mimic the movement and texture of Matthieu Blazy’s intricate leatherwork, while the color palette evokes the city’s famous marble architecture and network of canals.
The real magic lies in the candles themselves. Available in three different fragrances, each scent is formulated with a unique blend of essential oils to create a captivating olfactory experience. The color-coded clay vessels offer a visual hint of the fragrance within. The “Raintree” candle, nestled in a verdant green vessel, infuses your space with a soft, summery vibe. Think sweet fig, aromatic thyme and soothing lavender absolute, a harmonious combination that promises a taste of the Mediterranean.
For a more sophisticated ambiance, the “Lantern” candle beckons. Housed in a striking yellow vessel, this fragrance combines the warmth of frankincense with the luxurious touch of velvety rose and earthy vetiver. The result is a spicy yet undeniably seductive scent that adds a touch of sensuality to any room.
Finally, the “Redstone” candle, presented in a bold red glass, offers a rich and leathery scent profile. A captivating blend of plum nectar, tobacco and cedarwood, this candle exudes a touch of sweetness over a comforting, earthy base.
Beyond their scents, these Bottega Veneta candles offer an extra layer of luxury. Once the candle has burned out, the exquisite ceramic pot can be repurposed as a stylish storage container, a charming vase or a decorative object in its own right.
Bottega Veneta scented candles, £320 each (approximately €375 or $407 USD), are now available at bottegaveneta.com.
