Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano X: Olivo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Parco Palladiano X: Olivo opens with Mastic, Green Notes, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Olive, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Violet Leaf. Bottega Veneta's Parco Palladiano X: Olivo carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Olivo isn't for those who want to blend in. This is a unique, savoury olive experience - some will adore its Mediterranean charm, others might find it a bit too real. Definitely a try-before-you-buy situation.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Right from the off, Olivo throws you into a unique green landscape. It’s got that fresh, slightly bitter kick from galbanum and mastic, leading quickly into the star of the show: a rich, oily olive note that's both savoury and surprisingly smooth. As it settles, a sophisticated base of cedar and vetiver emerges, grounded by a hint of earthy patchouli and a modern touch of amberwood, leaving a clean yet unconventional trail.
