The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Colonia Leather Eau de Cologne Concentrée by Acqua di Parma was launched in 2014 and expertly crafted by perfumer François Demachy. This fragrance marries the classic freshness of citrus with a rich, smoky leather accord, creating an intriguing tension between light and dark. The Brazilian Orange and Sicilian Lemon open with a bright zing that is soon enveloped by the warmth of rose and guaiac wood, leading to an animalic and woody base. This composition is a modern interpretation of Acqua di Parma’s signature elegance, blending traditional Italian craftsmanship with a contemporary edge.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms over time, so a light application is recommended. The smoky and woody base notes develop slowly, making it perfect for layering under a jacket or during cooler evenings when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.

François Demachy

Dior's guardian of dreams

François Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.

“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
