Up till then I was too skeptical, but it paved the way. La Panthere is a good follow-up, less dried fruits and leather, more floral chypre, but in the right direction.

It strikes the perfect balance between old time glamour and contemporary wearability. And it's neither "too mossy" nor not enough. It reminds me of the good job done on EL Jasmin White Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-12201490430997238462015-01-01T23:10:28.059+00:002015-01-01T23:10:28.059+00:00Not only did I go through 3 bottles of Bottega V (...Not only did I go through 3 bottles of Bottega V (w) but I really like the model for the men's version.

I love leather chypres such as Courreges Empreinte but they're so hard to find and hard to wear.

I don't know, it's such a polarizing scent on the boards/fora, people expected something else I guess (something very deep, ambery, dried fruits perhaps), but I feel it's something that one could wear any time, any day, in any setting and feel a certain way, a way that is simpatico to me musks and all.
