Parco Palladiano VI: Rosa is a sharply focused rose perfume with a woody, slightly spicy undertone. The rose note is fresh and prominent in the opening, with a clear citric or cellophane-like brightness that some compare to Penhaligon's or Amouage Opus X, though less pungent and more wearable. The middle phase delivers a smooth, slightly powdery floral accord, enhanced by wood and cinnamon, giving it a warm, modern profile reminiscent of La Fille De Berlin but less sweet and more contemporary. In the dry down, it becomes more transparent, with patchouli and sandalwood providing subtle depth but little evolution. Longevity is moderate, and sillage is strong, though some find it fades quickly or disappears almost entirely after two hours. It is widely perceived as feminine, though some note its unisex potential due to the woody base. Its airiness and lack of development make it suitable for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer, though it may feel underwhelming to those seeking complexity or progression. The scent is not overtly sharp or harsh, but its brightness and lack of depth leave some feeling it lacks character beyond the rose core.
