Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano XII: Quercia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Quentin Bisch. Parco Palladiano XII: Quercia opens with Pepper and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cardamom and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Oak, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Bottega Veneta's Parco Palladiano XII: Quercia carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Quercia is an oak and incense scent that feels dry, dark and a little austere. Pepper and cardamom open it, and oakmoss and patchouli give it a forest-floor depth. It is a serious scent for people who like woods and resins.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pepper and pink pepper open with a dry, spicy bite. Labdanum and cardamom in the heart add a resinous, warm, slightly sweet spice. The base is where it shows its character: oak, frankincense, oakmoss, cashmere wood, patchouli and benzoin together make a deep, earthy, smoky woody accord. This is a woody-chypre style scent with an incense finish, moody and grounded.
