Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano VII
Bottega Veneta’s Parco Palladiano VII is part of a limited collection inspired by the gardens of the Veneto region in Italy. Launched in 2017, this unisex Eau de Parfum captures the essence of a spring morning near a saltwater lagoon, where lilacs bloom in the cool breeze. The fragrance is a study in contrasts: fresh and salty, floral and green, aquatic and powdery. It evokes the quiet elegance of a Venetian villa garden, with the Adriatic Sea just beyond the hedges. Michel Almairac, the nose behind this creation, has delivered a scent that feels both airy and grounded, making it a versatile choice for daytime wear in warmer months. While the house of Bottega Veneta is more famous for its leather goods, this fragrance showcases their ability to translate Italian craftsmanship into scent.
