What Acqua di Parma Say:

A contemporary reinterpretation of Acqua di Parma’s cherished fragrance heritage, presented in a sophisticated Eau de Parfum that exalts the vibrant, golden character of their signature citrus fruits through a refined blend of ylang ylang and patchouli.

A modern and intensified interpretation of the Maison’s first ever fragrance, the iconic Colonia, originally launched in 1916, Colonia Il Profumo draws from the golden radiance of the Italian sun with a refined blend of ylang ylang and patchouli, which enhance and prolong the citrus notes throughout the fragrance.

The top notes feature an exquisite blend of bergamot, grapefruit, blood orange, and petitgrain, delivering an initial burst of fresh, zesty aroma that captivates the senses.

At its heart, Colonia Il Profumo blooms with the aromatic allure of rosemary, the volume, intensity and opulence of ylang ylang, and the unique touch of orange leaves absolute. Ylang ylang was specifically chosen for its multi-dimensional notes that sublimates the golden fruits and their presence throughout the whole sillage adding modernity and richness to a timeless icon.

The base notes are anchored by the sophisticated depth of vetiver oil and patchouli, giving structure and character to the fragrance. The fragrance’s yellow hue evokes the warmth of the Italian sun and the zest of citrus fruits, while the bottle features a golden-tinted base for an intense and robust visual experience.

Marking a new chapter in the Colonia story, Profumo smells clean and fresh like its predecessor, but this interpretation feels modern and strikes the perfect balance between masculine and feminine.

The Best Way To Use It:

• Target areas where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, allowing the fragrance to emanate.Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows.
• Resist the urge to rub your wrists together after applying perfume. This can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
• Hold the perfume bottle about 6–8 inches away from your skin when spraying. This ensures a more even distribution of the fragrance.
• Keep your perfume in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. This helps maintain the integrity of the fragrance.
• If your perfume fades throughout the day, consider reapplying to pulse points or areas where your skin is warm.
