Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 and created by François Demachy, Colonia Sandalo Concentrée is an evolution of Acqua di Parma’s iconic Colonia fragrance. This woody aromatic composition opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic blend of orange, bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain, providing a fresh and invigorating start. As it settles, the heart of lavender and cardamom introduces a warm spicy tension that cuts through the initial brightness. The base notes of sandalwood, tonka bean, and amber create a rich, powdery warmth that lingers softly on the skin.
Apply two sprays initially; the citrus top notes are vivid but fade quickly. The sandalwood and tonka bean base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to settle before reapplying if needed.

François Demachy
Dior's guardian of dreamsFrançois 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.”
