The story behind the bottle.
Gelsomino a Freddo Ambrosia by Acqua di Parma is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance launched in 2025, blending the house's tradition of Italian elegance with modern sophistication. The composition opens with cardamom and frankincense, creating an aromatic warmth that transitions into the heart notes of jasmine, myrrh, and black tea. This blend is further anchored by powdery orris and rich balsamic accords in the base, culminating in a scent that feels both classic and contemporary.
Apply this fragrance in thin layers; the cardamom and frankincense notes are bright and can quickly become overwhelming. The base notes like orris and sandalwood take about an hour to fully bloom on the skin, so give it time before reapplying.
