Acqua Di Parma Colonia Eau De Cologne 180ml Splash

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.

I've used the cologne for over 10 years. It's my signature scent! The lemon and rosemary scents remind me of warm summer days that are complemented by the nearby sea air and coastal flowers. The scent is strong enough to just dab on and you can go a full day without reapplying. You could easily imagine yourself on the Italian Riveria while wearing this scent.

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

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. 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, 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.

Best citrus scent by miles...

There are lemon and citrus-based scents out there all over the place. But there's only one definitive citrus scent out there - Acqua di Parma Colonia original.Summer just wouldn't be summer without it, so I tend to buy at least a small bottle every year and take it with me on holiday or use it here in the UK if the sun is shining.Fresh and zesty, with a dash of Mediterranean herbs. Summer in a bottle!

This is a venerable, qualityt product

This is a time-honored classic. Great, old-school, class-act cologne that has rightfully stood the test of time. I love this splash version (not a spray). It's more of an after-shave. I'm glad that Saks caries the "Colonia Splash" version of the original Acqua di Parma. When you put it on you immediately catch the citrus and verbena scent; followed by the more floral lavender and rose notes. The dry down- what's left- is very much like a lighter version of a traditional barber shop splash. Think clean in a masculine way (not a clean linen/fresh cotton/powder way). Many people give me compliments on this cologne. After three or four hours, I can't smell it anymore but apparently women can still detect it. You can get burned on cologne's. They don't always smell the ... MoreThis is a time-honored classic. Great, old-school, class-act cologne that has rightfully stood the test of time. I love this splash version (not a spray).

They don't always smell the same from person to person. I guess it depends on skin and oil. But I think this cologne will be found by most to be acceptable if not desirable.
