Parco Palladiano III: Pera

Parco Palladiano III: Pera is a bright, woody-green fragrance with a strong peppery and minty opening that quickly settles into a dry, aromatic, and woodsy base. It feels distinctly masculine-leaning but is rated unisex by most, with a clean, natural, and slightly bitter herbal character. The mint is sharp and bright at first but fades rapidly—never lasting more than a few minutes—leaving behind a peppery, woody, and slightly musky trail. The scent is most resonant in warm weather, with moderate to strong sillage that lingers for hours, though it becomes intimate toward the end. The pear note is subtle and discreet—it functions more as a green, juicy backdrop than a fruity sweetness. Taken as a whole, the fragrance feels like a modern herbal, earthy interpretation of a Mediterranean pear tree, with a clear focus on green, spicy, and woody accords. It has an almost medicinal, functional quality that pleases some for its realism and subtlety but can alienate those expecting a sweeter, longer-lasting fruity or floral profile.
