Parco Palladiano III: Pera

Have a #1-6 discovery set of 10ml each, trying one a day this week... Opens peppery and dry woody, it reminded me of the CdG Monocle series here with it's laser focus on the woody and spicy elements especially in Laurel. This element is very good on it's own but as it dries a really nice mint tea starts to come through, a bit like Masque Milano's Russian Tea but much rounder, over the top of the woody base it began with (Russian Tea is smoky, this isn't it's sweeter). The noted rose and violet doesn't pop for me, if it's in the blend it's blended well down to give that natural airy feel along with the mint. Very impressed with this one, natural smelling like all the line so far but with a robust base to make it last longer and I think it's more masculine focused than many of the others. I'll probably look to buy a full bottle of this.

Parco Palladiano III is yet another tea scent that I just found (I'm a sucker for tea scent). I know this is supposed to be a fragrance with pear scent (pera), but for me, the first sniff of Parco Palladiano III reminds me of dry tea leaves in a tea shop that i really adore. It has a huge dose of mint and pepper, it feels bitter and organic. As time goes by, the scent becomes a tad sweet, still with moderate projection, and it stays that way until i return home.

Too bad that I did not get to sample this until last year. Prices have skyrocketed of course since it's discontinued but I don't recall this line being popular. All season type of scent except for Winter. It has a very natural feel. Fresh/fruity/floral and spicy. Thank God the patchouli note is non existent well at least to my nose. Performance is better than most in the same category. If it were around 125 I would buy it but not $300+

First off, for the niche folks, this is a gentleman and italian scent so it is not going to blast right away a la PDM, Mancera, etc.. This is such a nice and classy scent, centered around pepper, pear, mint. Note that this is a very dry and masculine scent. At first, i didn t know what to think of it but i love it now. And it lasts a long while.

This perfume is so fresh and unique! I love the combination of mint and sage in the top notes. It's really invigorating. The pear wood and tea give it a slightly sweet and woody depth, while the rose adds a touch of romance. Overall, it's a sophisticated and long-lasting scent that's perfect for both day and night.
