The story behind the bottle.
Gelsomino A Freddo by Acqua di Parma, launched in 2025 and crafted by Daphné Bugey, is a composition that blends the crispness of lemon with the warmth of woody and earthy notes. The opening burst of pink pepper and artemisia introduces an unexpected spiciness before giving way to a heart of jasmine and iris, which adds depth and complexity. The base of black tea, guaiac wood, patchouli, and nagarmotha creates a grounding effect that is both comforting and intriguing.
Apply a light spritz to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms gradually over time. The citrus top notes are bright but short-lived, so rely on the deeper woody and spicy base for lasting warmth throughout the day.
