I’ve been curious about Bottega Veneta Pour Homme for ages, but committing to a full bottle felt like a gamble. When I spotted this sample set of three 1.2 mL sprays for $15, it seemed like the perfect chance to test the waters without the pressure. The vials arrived quickly—they’re tiny, sleek, and honestly, way more substantial than I expected from travel sizes.

I spritzed it on before heading out to meet friends, and the first thing that hit me was this warm, woody leather note—it’s sophisticated but not stuffy. It settled into something really nuanced over the next few hours, with a subtle green freshness that kept it from feeling heavy. I didn’t expect how much I’d enjoy wearing it day to day; it turned out better than I thought, becoming this quiet confidence boost.

One evening, I was reorganizing my closet with some G Herbo in the background, and the scent just lingered in the air—it oddly fit the vibe, that mix of raw and refined. If you’re on the fence like I was, you can view product here to try it yourself. For me, these little vals were a win—they’re ideal for trips, or just figuring out if a scent truly suits you before the big buy.
