Parco Palladiano VII: Lillà is a bright, airy, and refined floral fragrance centered around dewy lilac, enhanced with marine and salty accords that lend a fresh, coastal character. It unfolds as a soft, linear scent with a delicate interplay of herbal greenery, powdered sweetness, and clean musk, evoking white linen, sea mist, and lush garden lilacs. Despite its lightness, it maintains surprising longevity—about 7 to 8 hours on skin and up to 14 hours when sprayed on fabric—making it unexpectedly durable for a fragrance so sheer. The projection is moderate, with a soft halo of scent that lingers just beyond arm's length, ideal for daytime wear and warm weather. Many describe it as unisex in spirit, though it leans feminine and is best suited for those with a preference for subtle, ethereal, and luxury-oriented scents. It’s not a bold or intense fragrance, nor does it dominate the space, but it earns attention through its elegance and quiet presence. The sweet, candied undertone—possibly from the salt or unlisted base notes—adds a gentle warmth without tipping into sugary or gaudy territory, making it feel truly unique among lilac interpretations.
