Palio by Lorenzo Siena

Palio is a fragrance full of adrenalin, rife with emotions, filled with the happiness of winning. Palio possesses a southern temperament and, of course, it glorifies tradition, steeped in history, but very much alive after all these years. Lorenzo himself describes his perfume as a certain "memory recall".

The rich woody fragrance takes you in its tender yet confident arms and right away you can feel something truly eternal and yet very familiar in its intricate bouquet. The composition remains true to character all the way to the final note, yet it instantly catches your attention with originality and the harmonious balance of its notes, which together make up a classic bouquet of an admirably collected calmness.

Flowers (an oily droplet of rose, forming a beautiful trio with lily-of-the-valley and jasmine) are highlighted by sunny citrus and pineapple notes and further softened by patchouli and warm sandalwood. Later, musk enters the scene to entice us with its velvety touch and the fragrance transforms into an oriental, becomes warmer and more vibrant. Women’s expectations from men are typically pretty conservative and Palio doesn’t disappoint us here, acting like a real seducer with experience: making you wonder, enveloping you, lulling you with its tender flowers and the softness of it woody notes. However, not once does it make us doubt its true masculinity. Italiano vero. Palio is a new fragrance and it was introduced in 2008.
