Quattro

“Quattro by Ricordi Review”

Quattro by Ricordi is a fruity floral with a soft woody backbone. On paper, the structure is straightforward, but the contrast is what makes it interesting: bright pear and raspberry on top, a rose and gardenia heart in the middle, then sandalwood and moss underneath to stop it drifting too far into candy-like territory.

The opening is likely the most immediately appealing part for many people. Pear gives it a juicy, crisp sweetness, while raspberry adds a fuller, slightly richer fruit tone. Pink pepper matters here because it should stop the first few minutes from feeling flat. Instead of reading like simple fruit syrup, it has a light sparkle and a faint rosy spice.

As it settles, Quattro seems to move toward a floral centre with Turkish rose doing most of the shaping. Gardenia probably adds creaminess and a fuller petal texture, while cyclamen keeps things cleaner and a little airier. That mix suggests a fragrance that stays plush and floral without turning dense or powder-heavy. If you enjoy rose scents but want something softer and fruit-tinted rather than dark or jammy, this direction makes sense.

The base looks important for balance. Sandalwood should smooth the sweetness and give the fragrance a more polished feel, while moss adds a gentle earthy green undertone. That combination can help the scent feel more grown-up than the opening notes alone might suggest. It still appears to sit in sweet, fruity, floral territory overall, but the dry-down should be calmer and more grounded than the first spray.

Performance data is encouraging, but the evidence is extremely thin. The available votes suggest strong projection and very good longevity, even pushing into very long wear. That may mean Quattro performs above average for this style, especially if the fruity sweetness and woody base hold well on skin. Even so, it would be smarter to treat it as potentially strong rather than guaranteed beast mode.

In terms of wearability, Quattro looks fairly versatile. Current votes place it across all seasons and both day and night, which usually suggests a fragrance without a hard seasonal limit. The scent profile still feels easiest to picture in spring, early autumn, and mild evenings, when fruity florals with a mossy base can breathe naturally. The feminine lean in the voting also makes sense, even though it is officially unisex.

For buyers, the main question is not whether the note list sounds attractive, it does. The real question is whether you want a sweet fruity rose with some creamy floral texture and a grounded woody-mossy finish. If that style already works for you, Quattro looks promising. If you want something drier, greener, or less sweet, sampling first is the safer move.
