The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 and crafted by Joëlle Lerioux Patris, Colonia Mirra is an Oriental Woody fragrance for men that extends the legacy of Acqua di Parma's iconic elegance. The composition opens with bright citruses and orange blossom, evoking a fresh Italian sensibility before transitioning to the warm and spicy notes of myrrh and nutmeg. A balsamic base of amber and patchouli grounds the fragrance, creating a harmonious blend that feels both contemporary and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Colonia Mirra to pulse points for a balanced experience. The bright top notes fade within two hours, but the balsamic base continues to develop on skin over time. It's best worn during cooler weather when its warmth is most appreciated.
