Acqua Di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato Eau de Parfum - 100ml
A citrus-aromatic trailblazer, Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato Eau de Parfum serve...A citrus-aromatic trailblazer, Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato Eau de Parfum serves as an olfactory portrait of Italy, capturing the interplay of sunlit freshness, spectacular vistas and verdant landscapes. Conjuring al fresco, garnished drinks at sunset, the fragrance opens with vibrant notes of bergamot, grapefruit and jammy-rich blood orange, sharp and tangy on the initial spritz. Just below, a bespoke 2024 ylang-ylang white fraction offers an ethereal interpretation of the white flower, gently softening the orange leaves and pine-like rosemary tucked within the aromatic heart. As the brightness settles into something more contemplative, grounding the punchy profile, a coupling of patchouli and vetiver comes through. This results in a dry, elegant trail that lingers long after you apply it to your skin.
To mark the 110th anniversary of Acqua di Parma's Italian Art of Living, Colonia Il Profumo is reimagined in a celebratory Millesimato limited edition that magnifies its citrus notes and enduring Italian elegance. At its heart lies the exceptional 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be—cultivated in the Madagascan island's tropical climate, where the flowers develop their full complexity, marked by fruity and subtly spiced undertones. Nurtured by the year's rare convergence of abundant rainfall and gentle warmth, the flower reveals a rare luminous complexity and intensity. Expertly distilled over 24 hours and delicately fractionated, the 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be amplifies the vibrancy of the citruses and gives density and depth to the perfume. Italian bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain and grapefruit open the composition with a golden freshness, while rosemary, orange leaves absolute, patchouli, and vetiver give structure and sophistication to this citrus aromatic creation. Presented in a glass bottle with an embossed architectural detail inspired by classical Italian design and a back label that highlights the fragrance's craftsmanship and olfactory composition, the fragrance is housed in Acqua di Parma's iconic yellow hatbox, distinguished by a golden medal stamp celebrating the 2024 harvest and the 110th anniversary of Acqua di Parma. A collector's icon that bridges heritage and modern refinement with sophisticated olfactive clarity.

Application: Apply to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears. For optimal projection, apply to moisturized skin. A light mist over clothing can also extend the scent's presence.
Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the integrity of the fragrance oils.
Compatibility: This fragrance is designed for adult use and is unisex. It is suitable for all skin types, but as with any fragrance, individual reactions can vary. Perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin.
