The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Colonia Il Profumo by Acqua di Parma is a contemporary interpretation of the brand's signature elegance and Italian flair. This aromatic fruity fragrance opens with bright citrus notes like orange, lemon, and bergamot, balanced by the freshness of petitgrain and pineapple. The heart is marked by a blend of neroli, ylang-ylang, and rose, which add warmth and floral depth without overpowering the composition. The base layers settle into woody accords with vetiver, patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, and leather, creating a sophisticated contrast to the bright top notes.
Colonia Il Profumo offers a balanced composition that works well throughout the day. Two sprays are sufficient to capture its full character — the top notes will last for about two hours, after which the woody base notes will take center stage. This fragrance is best suited for daytime and evening wear, where it maintains an understated yet elegant presence.
