Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Chinotto di Liguria by Acqua di Parma captures the essence of Italy's coastal regions with its blend of aromatic and citrus notes. The fragrance opens with the distinctive bitterness of chinotto, a tangerine-like fruit native to the Ligurian coast, complemented by the freshness of mandarin orange and rosemary. As it develops, jasmine and geranium add a floral touch, while cardamom brings warmth and spiciness. Patchouli and musk provide a woody, earthy base that grounds the composition.
Apply Chinotto di Liguria two or three times to ensure that both the top and base notes are well-balanced. The chinotto and mandarin orange notes open quickly, while the patchouli and musk take a bit longer to develop. This fragrance is best enjoyed during the day when its bright and fresh character can shine.
