The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1930, Acqua di Parma Profumo is a fragrance that captures the essence of Italian elegance and refinement. The composition opens with fresh notes of bergamot and ylang-ylang, providing a bright and aromatic start before giving way to the heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and peony. These floral elements are balanced by earthy tones of labdanum, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk in the base, creating a warm and enveloping finish.
Apply two sprays to pulse points and allow it to develop on skin for at least 15 minutes before heading out. The floral heart notes bloom gradually, making this fragrance best suited for daytime wear where its warmth can be appreciated without overpowering.
