Cipresso is one of the most pleasing woody fragrance I have encountered. A refined interpretation on the conifer theme, this cypress is like a poetic rendition of the actual smell we find in nature. As if only some elements were kept and the darker tones purified.
Fresh & green from the very beginning, immediately you feel the watery quality. Cipresso gives me the impression of a very cool & pristine water in which branches of cypress would have soaked in for days. One of the achievement of this melange is that this beautiful freshness never evokes citrus. It is all about a green, woody-green heart and a very delicate peppery coating. The dry down will see the conifer note take more place, but always in the most refined and subtle manner.
While fagrances like Slumberhouse’s Norne or Profumum’s Arso (I love them both) are all about the brutal reality with everything that conifer has to offer (vivid green, camphoraceaous, penetrating menthol like smokiness, etc.) Bottega Veneta’s Cipresso is like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. A romanticize version of reality!
In a few words…
A 4 seasons, bright & refreshing green woody elixir!
Hats off / Chapeau to the nose, Alexis Dadier!

A simple but yet masterpiece green scent. Its fresh and aromatic at its best, that turns heads. This is a mans perspective. You can smell this even with a stuffy and common cold nose. Go Get it

This is a true masterpiece. Hard to believe something this good only has two notes… It lasts all day long & gives off more of a manly vibe but can see a woman rocking this. Projection is a perfect 3 to 5 feet & the longevity is through the roof! I’m definitely buying a full bottle & this will be a staple in my collection.

I’m in Love! Just got a brand new unopened bottle on eBay for only $100! I’m so glad I blind bought it. I’ve been looking for a nice cypress fragrance. I had blind bought Salvatore Ferragamo Convivo, but it turned out to be a little too sharp and annoyed me wearing it all day. This Bottega Veneta II does showcase Cypress as the leading role in the scent, but it certainly is not a soliflore. I notice the juniper berries and cardamom others have mentioned. I also detect a little lavender and fig/fig leaf. The cypress is supported by other woods as well: cedar and sandalwood. Overall, the impression I get is similar to Lothair by Penhaligon’s, another beautiful scent and one of my favorites. The only down side I am finding to Bottega Veneta II is the longevity is weak. It fades too fast on me. Somehow Lothair lasts me all day and gets noticed with many compliments. This one wears closer to the skin and may be a better option for warmer weather months. Overall, I am very happy with purchasing this. The bottle is SO awesome. I am working on finding a bottle of Bottega Veneta I next!

This is very fresh and nice; the cypress is on the breezy watery side as opposed to the usual fir-like kind, which is perfect paired with the hidden minty facet. It leans slightly masculine and is my 2nd-favorite from the collection 🙂

‘Parco Palladiano II’ begins with a heeded rush of verdant splendor. Cypress leaf’s turpentic qualities are highlighted in the opening moments of the fragrance, rendering a fresh and dry tonality. It has facets of freshly crushed juniper berries lending a bracingly cool sensation to the composition, much like a gentle, refreshing breeze through a forest of conifers. A heart of pink peppercorn balances the aforementioned evergreen notes, offering a subtle warming and spicy counterpoint. I notice faint traces of cumin and cardamom here, but together these “warm” spices never over power the delicate woody characteristics of the cypress. Upon the dry down, ‘Parco Palladiano II’ becomes smooth and rather linear with a base of nondescript woody notes. The full evolution of the fragrance upon initial application, during which the hyperrealistic cypress leaf’s lush greenness lends way to the innocuous woodiness of the dry down, occurs rather rapidly. I wished this transformation occurred at a much slower pace as the opening burst of energetic cypress is highly satisfying.
Overall, ‘Parco Palladiano II’ is yet another strong offering from this Bottega Veneta luxury collection. Easily unisex, the composition leans masculine due to its lack of any floral notes. The fragrance would wear perfectly in the cooler months of autumn and winter given its central focus of evergreen notes. As an “eau de parfum”, its performance is somewhat disappointing. I found both its sillage and projection very light, remaining essentially a skin scent for the duration of its wearing. ‘Parco Palladiano II’ is suitable for both daytime and evening use, and would be equally wearable for either casual or formal occasions. If the ephemeral beauty of the opening moments of this fragrance lasted a while longer, it would be near perfection. Unfortunately, as it stands now, ‘Parco Palladiano II’ leaves me with an emptiness which renders one longing for something more.

They are all very nice fragrances with extremely good quality ingredients I would say but is it only me not finding perfume with just two, three notes interesting? I mean where is the pyramide??

Curious to know if this particular fragrance resembles Tom Ford Italian Cypress?
Thanks

“the tree”
This one is quite breathtaking. It smells like you are under a cypress tree and the sun just set. The humidity is high but since the sun went down it begins to get cold and all of the smells get a bit stronger. Literally it smells like you are there, it is very very literal and I personally like that.
9.5/10

Very aromatic green scent, leafy, and not sweet, that one is more on the masculine side, with a strong herbal undertone..it has like a peppery vibe, present throughout the whole development..I don’t know, I don’t hate it, but I don’t like it, I wouldn’t even like it on my husband..not crazy about the watery spicy undertone..strange!!
