Crepuscolo by Bottega Veneta

Crepuscolo by Bottega Veneta: A New Woody Oriental Scent for 2026

Bottega Veneta has added Crepuscolo to its fragrance line-up, a unisex scent for men and women that launched in 2026. It belongs to the oriental woody family and combines rich resins with fresh spice and a saline touch.

This new release is built around a complex structure, moving from citrus and warmth towards earthier, balsamic materials. It is a perfume designed for slow discovery rather than instant impact.

Crepuscolo opens with incense, cardamom and bergamot. The incense sets a serious, slightly smoky tone, while the cardamom adds a soft, radiant heat and the bergamot gives the opening a crisp, citrus lift.

At its heart, the fragrance features sea salt, cypress, gurjun balsam, mugane and fig milk. The salt lends a dry, mineral edge, with cypress adding a green aromatic contrast. Fig milk and gurjun balsam round out the middle, creating a smooth and subtly creamy texture.

The base is made up of patchouli, oud wood, cypriol (nagarmota), cedar, labdanum, vetiver and balsam fir. This foundation is earthy and resinous, with an amber glow and a lasting woody warmth that gives the scent its oriental character.

The main accords are woody, warm spicy, earthy, patchouli, aromatic, amber, salty, oud, balsamic and fresh spicy. Because these qualities emerge at different points, Crepuscolo feels different from first application to the final dry down.

At present, Crepuscolo has an average rating of 3.88 out of 5, based on 16 user ratings. The number is still small, but it offers an early glimpse of how the fragrance is landing with those who have tried it.

This perfume will be enjoyed by lovers of oriental woody scents, particularly those drawn to incense, oud and patchouli. It is also a strong match for anyone looking for a unisex fragrance that feels refined, mysterious and less conventional.

Crepuscolo is a considered release from Bottega Veneta, pairing aromatic freshness with a deep balsamic base. It is ideal for cool evenings and for wearers who enjoy fragrance that evolves gradually and leaves a lasting impression.
