ACQUA DI PARMA - cologne edc spray 20 ml

This fragrance is very lively and citrusy , it has hints of bergamot and also floral scents including roses and lavender. It is also very aromatic. The fragrance is very long lasting and I would definitely recommend trying it and other fragrances from Acqua di parma

I begin stating that this cologne was purchased for only $40 at Winners. It retails for about $235 for the 100mL bottle. So, score.The scent is unisex. Timeless, clean, sultry and citrusy. It begins as a citrus musk scent with some green notes and later fades into a musky floral. It lasts about 3-4 hours on skin, but really grips into the hair and clothing. The bottle is simple and elegant, and is purchased in a lemon yellow hatbox style box. I wouldn't have bought this full priced, but for only $40, this was a steal. It's the perfect summer scent.

I personally think this is very light and unisex. Acquire fi Parma markets it as for men’s but I use it everyday during summer time. I sometimes layer it with something more floral to play around with it. The staying power is actually quite strong for such a light cologne. This is towards the pricier side for sure but the minimalist approach to the bottle design and the quality product are what makes this worth the money.

Acqua di Parma's Colonia EDC, first released in 1916, is classified as a citrus fragrance with notes of Silician citruses, rosemary, lavender, verbena, Bulgarian rose, vetiver, and patchouli. This is one of the oldest unisex colognes still out on the market today. Old World Hollywood stars like Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn admired the simplistic and natural freshness, which led to Acqua di Parma becoming the much larger perfume house that it is today. I can see why it has stood the test of time. The overwhelmingly aromatic nature of the herbs combined with the freshness of the citrus, plus the expensive essence of the Bulgarian rose, make this an easygoing and versatile fragrance. Imagine zesting fresh lemons and oranges, then combining fresh sprigs of rosemary, ... MoreAcqua di Parma's Colonia EDC, first released in 1916, is classified as a citrus fragrance with notes of Silician citruses, rosemary, lavender, verbena, Bulgarian rose, vetiver, and patchouli.

Old World Hollywood stars like Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn admired the simplistic and natural freshness, which led to Acqua di Parma becoming the much larger perfume house that it is today. I can see why it has stood the test of time. The overwhelmingly aromatic nature of the herbs combined with the freshness of the citrus, plus the expensive essence of the Bulgarian rose, make this an easygoing and versatile fragrance. Imagine zesting fresh lemons and oranges, then combining fresh sprigs of rosemary, lavender, and rose petals. Store in a container for a while, then open the lid to release the aroma. There is also a pepperiness that accompanies this, but it is not overstated. It mellows out to hang close to the skin after some time. As this is an eau de cologne, it's not meant to last a long time, but yet I find that the performance is great for what it is - moderate sillage, and lasts up to 4 hours on the skin. Vintage, aromatic, chic, bespoke - this is a fragrance that can work perfectly for everyone. It may read more masculine for some but I do feel that anyone can pull this off. This is also a rather inoffensive scent perfect for those spring and summer days. Possessing a part of perfume history can be rare, and often expensive, but not a lot of sprays are needed to experience this fragrant aroma, which will help it to last. It feels old school yet still has pull in the contemporary world, as here we are, still talking about this fragrance. There are many iterations of this cologne, but the original is where it's at. If you are able, try to seek out a decanted sample or find a discounted bottle online and please give this one a try.

Eternally Simple, Clean and Classic

This scent I found for only $40 at Winners, and without smelling it, I bought it. I opened it up to experience a scent that instantly reminded me of Lush for some reason. It's masculine at first but softens into a genderless, mildly citrusy, slightly floral musk that changes form as the day wears on. The staying power isn't great; a few hours on skin, longer on clothes and fabric. The price is a lot for something that doesn't wear that long, but to each their own. It reacts well with my chemistry; I lean sweet in general, and prefer clean smells like Chanel No.5 (all variations), No. 19 Poudre, Chance eau Tendre or eau Vive, and so on. I usually only wear Chanel, but this is my new summer scent. It's never gaudy or overpowering. Works on anyone.

Great unisex scent for summer

Class. Sophistication. Elegance.Colonia is a beautiful trip of nostalgia. Although the citrus, floral and warm basenotes definitely compliment me as a woman, they bring to mind the crisp citrus and spice splash the barber used on my father and grandfather after a cut and shave on Saturday mornings. There is also a light soapiness that smells like clean skin after a shower.My husband and I both enjoy this classic scent. The longevity is only a few hours, hence the four stars. However, this lovely scent is well worth the price and the extra application later in the day.

Smells like grandma’s hand cream

I have never disliked a perfume so much.I liked it in theory - I love patchouli and lemon is always nice for the summer, but it just smells like bad hotel hand soap or something your grandmother would have. All day I felt like I had gone looking for something in my grandmothers purse and got some of her hand cream on me.It lasts FOREVER, so that’s a bonus if you do enjoy this scent.

Timeless classic

Elegance and refinement in a bottle! This fragrance has a phenomenal history. Cary Grant, Ava Gardner, Kevin Costner and Sharon Stone made known how passionate they were about Colonia.I’d say it’s more of a men’s cologne but I can see it being unisex as well. In that case, it’s more of a statement. Very refreshing and uplifting!Signature cylindrical bottle, rounded box and bright yellow packaging looks very chic and classy. If that’s not the best present for a loved one I don’t know what is.Lasts 8 hrs

UNISEX CLASSIC

This is classic scent for maybe more mature noses. Its an old school scent, that is light and crisp. Very herbal and clean. This is a true unisex fragrance,men like it and women can wear it also. Its an everyday year round scent, light but with enough "body" to wear in the fall. Acqua di Parma scents are classic and all of them are worth trying.
