Parco Palladiano V: Lauro Bottega Veneta 2016

And bind me to it forever
...
For me, the perfect scent.
As much as I feel, so little can I express in words.

A balance and elegance that I only know from other perfumes in the line and from the old Egoist from Paris.

Laurel, soft pepper, and woody accords come together effortlessly to create a perfect melange.

The sillage is powerful but not intrusive, and the longevity is unmatched. Even after washing, I can still enjoy it.

It’s a shame that this masterpiece is no longer produced.

If I could take one scent across the Styx, it would be this one.

I bow humbly
