Parco Palladiano IV
Bottega Veneta (2016)

It can be summarized as a moderate projection, balsamic sweet, resins, vanilla, floral fragrance. The fragrance is relatively linear, the opening favors the resins, myrrh, floral, and spices, at this point the fragrance feels moist, resinous, sweet, and honeyed; towards the dry down and after the vanilla has joined, the fragrance becomes dry, resinous, sweet, and vanilla.

Iy feels casual, comforting, cozy, warm, delectable, delicious, intimate and inviting. Totaly it is sweet but not too sweet. Strong but not over powering. Not on your face. It is elegant and has a multitude of enjoyable layers as it dries down. It smells very nice on skin and seems to last forever on clothes.

This one starts out on a floral note, with azalea the main contributor; but a general undertone of white floral notes carries over well into the drydown.

In the second part a woodsy component arises, which takes on characteristics of chestnuts and maroons at times. Later on a pleasant vanilla is added on, and the latter develops into the main component in the base, remaining prominent until he end.

I get moderate sillage, excellent projection and eight hours of longevity on my skin.

This scent for warmer autumn days and evenings is quite simple but not without some creative thoughts. Is it of a nice creaminess, and the sweetness is well balanced and never too sweet or cloying. It is somewhat linear at times, but it is well blended and the quality of the ingredients is quite high. 3.25/5.
