Parco Palladiano XIII: Quadrifoglio
Fragrance notes
Character
Basil and grapefruit open this Bottega Veneta release with a bright, kitchen-garden snap that feels cut straight from the stem. Geranium follows with a clean, slightly minty leafiness that keeps the citrus from leaning too sharp. Hedione adds a soft, airy shimmer that makes the green facets feel lifted rather than heavy. Coumarin and amberwood anchor the later hours with a smooth, hay-like warmth that never turns powdery. Incense curls through the base in a thin, dry ribbon, giving the woods a faintly chapel-like stillness without ever reading as smoke. Iso E Super wraps the whole composition in a gentle, cedar-adjacent halo that sits near the body and follows the skin through a normal day without demanding attention in a room.
The drydown is the stronger half here. Those amberwood and coumarin tones grow creamier as the herbal top notes fade, creating a scent that belongs on linen sleeves during a long walk through an open garden where sunlight hits stone paths. It suits someone who likes green aromatics with a polished, designer finish and prefers a companion that stays close instead of announcing itself. It will feel too tame for anyone chasing loud, evening-ready woods. Picture a single square of clover pressed between the pages of a leather-bound book, its edges just beginning to curl.
