Starting each day very early in work little things can make a big difference at this time of day, like making sure I have left my car keys in a place where I can find them, is one such. Also smelling fresh and clean is another, especially when I have to get close to patients to look in eyes and ears and such like. When revising my choice of aftershave a year or two ago I decided to embark on a new direction and, of course what can be better than a little Italian flare I began with the Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa and then moved on to the Blu Mediterraneo Aranca Di Capri, which even midwinter reminds me of sundrenched isles off Sorrento or Naples. I found that a couple of squirts invigorated me, encouraged bright thoughts and prepared me in a positive way for the ... MoreStarting each day very early in work little things can make a big difference at this time of day, like making sure I have left my car keys in a place where I can find them, is one such.

I found that a couple of squirts invigorated me, encouraged bright thoughts and prepared me in a positive way for the day ahead. More recently it was my BrotherinLaws birthday. This is a tricky time as of course I know he loves red wine and also a nice glass of Cognac. My wife made her usual comment a day or two before, asking Had I got him the usual bottle or two of red or some Brandy No, I announced triumphantly, I had embarked, courtesy of the nice lady on the after shave counter in John Lewis, Trafford Centre, on a completely new theme and bought him the Mandorlo di Sicilia which shares the lovely blue flask of my usual choice and also those lovely fragrant yet subtle smells that remind one of summer holidays, blue vistas, charming people and scenery. In addition she presented me with a nice carrier bag and also lots of samples so that he can try this and also my usual choice before he commits. If he is not certain and wishes to have a swap round then he has 90 days to change his mind and if it remains unopened can elect to have an alternative. I am sure, like me, he will engage with this message and I am sure he will end up being a convert too, courtesy of an excellent product and excellent service from my local John Lewis.

This perfume has become my signature scent I first purchased this in 2016 and have since gone through three bottles. I dont even purchase other perfumes anymore, because whenever I wear something else it just doesnt compare to this. This is such a light, feminine, fresh floral scent. It is everything I could ever want in a perfume such a youthful, soft floral. I am in my mid 20s now and I will buy this perfume again and again. I also use the lotion and hair mist and wearing all three at the same time still isnt overpowering. Its just the perfect amount of subtleness while still being very present. I get compliments all the time when wearing this and constantly have total strangers come up to me and ask me what Im wearing. I have had random people take pictures of my ... MoreThis perfume has become my signature scent I first purchased this in 2016 and have since gone through three bottles.

I get compliments all the time when wearing this and constantly have total strangers come up to me and ask me what Im wearing. I have had random people take pictures of my mini size bottle I carry in my purse so they can go to the store and buy it. If you like florals, I can almost guarantee you wont be disappointed. It doesnt smell artificial or overly perfumey at all, its just so fresh and clean. Acqua di Parma really did this one right Again, its the only thing I wear now and have for three years and it will never get old for me.

Envision yourself cutting up some citrus fruit to enjoy while relaxing in a field of blooming flowers on a warm sunny day. Acqua Di Parma Osmanthus has an aroma that may be encapsulated with the terpenes of the zesty citrus fruit intermingled with the scent of the fine blossoms. I was thrilled with this product's elegant, luxe packaging comprised of black and gold when I first received it. I discovered the fragrance on the base that served as a stand when I opened the package. The cologne bottle presented an aesthetic that was shared by all Acqua Di Parma fragrances. The bottle was clear with a stunning, high class label, a black top that complemented, and a black atomizer. This fragrance exudes a sense of elegance and luxury due to the presentation's simplicity. ... MoreEnvision yourself cutting up some citrus fruit to enjoy while relaxing in a field of blooming flowers on a warm sunny day. Acqua Di Parma Osmanthus has an aroma that may be encapsulated with the terpenes of the zesty citrus fruit intermingled with the scent of the fine blossoms. I was thrilled with this product's elegant, luxe packaging comprised of black and gold when I first received it. I discovered the fragrance on the base that served as a stand when I opened the package. The cologne bottle presented an aesthetic that was shared by all Acqua Di Parma fragrances. The bottle was clear with a stunning, high class label, a black top that complemented, and a black atomizer. This fragrance exudes a sense of elegance and luxury due to the presentation's simplicity. When spraying this fragrance, the atomizer felt of high quality, giving off a nice misty dispersal. When I smelled the fragrance, I theorized it was certainly a unisex aroma, however, I felt that it leaned toward a more feminine side. Although, I do feel a confident man can also wear this scent since it also can be seen as a mens fragrance. Nevertheless, I found the scent to be pretty universal. I do believe that the citrus element gives it a tendency to be a spring, summer, and fall fragrance, but you can get away with wearing it in the winter due to the scent's potency and durability. I found the scent on my skin to last around 8-10 hours. If you spray heavily, it can may stay longer than eight hours. Overall, I wanted to express my gratitude to Acqua di Parma as well as the influencer for allowing me to sample and review another phenomenal fragrance. In principle, I recommend this fragrance to everyone who enjoys flowery and citrus scents. The fragrance overall was of high class and had a long persistent aroma.
