Parco Palladiano XIV: Melagrana

A bright, crisp fruity fragrance with a prominent blackcurrant note, layered over clean cedar wood and a subtle herbal green undertone. It opens with a juicy, tart burst of blackcurrant and pomegranate, enhanced by a watery, delicate freshness that evokes a summer picnic. The heart develops into a more refined, woody-sweet base with green herbal hints, evoking a quiet sophistication rather than a bold statement. The scent starts fresh and fizzy, becoming softer and more discreet over time — perfect for summertime wear, especially in warm climates. It has a moderate sillage and moderate longevity, meaning it doesn’t last long on skin but performs well on clothing. Think of it as a refined, elegant berry and wood gesture — not loud, not sweetly narcotic, but quietly appealing, with a subtle musky drydown and a hint of rose. Despite strong preferences in the community for a feminine slant, the composition leans unisex due to its clarity and dryness. Many liken it to a luxurious, refreshed Dior Addict 2, with a more delicate balance and less saccharine sweetness. It's a favorite for those who appreciate bright, green-fresh fruity notes without the syrupy indulgence of mainstream berry scents. Its long-term appeal lies in its ability to feel natural and real — like picking berries from a garden or walking through a leafy wood in midsummer.
