Bottana

Bottana by Nero Speziale is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Bottana was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Nicola Bianchi. Top notes are Bitter Orange, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, Saffron and Cloves; middle notes are Heliotrope, Strawberry, Peach, Rose and Plum; base notes are Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Ambergris, Labdanum and Palo Santo. Bottana tells the story of a young Sicilian girl, the daughter of an apothecary, who is fascinated by a woman trying on a red corset in a shop. Inspired, she asks a servant to make her one using a red drape from her father's study. Once the corset is on, the young woman feels a new passion and sneaks out to meet a handsome young man, who mistakes her for a prostitute because of the corset and pays her two denarii after their encounter. Thus begins her journey as ‘Bottana’, a legendary figure known for her charm and the scent of chocolate, who ignites desires and lures people into a world of seduction and mystery. Her legend spreads throughout the island, leaving behind a trail of unspoken passions.
