The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, Profumo Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma captures the essence of Italian elegance with a composition that balances floral and woody notes. Ylang-ylang and bergamot create an aromatic opening that transitions into a heart of peony, jasmine, and Bulgarian rose, which is then anchored by labdanum, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, and musk. This fragrance embodies the brand's legacy of sophistication, blending classic Italian flair with modern sensibilities.
Apply two sprays for optimal longevity and sillage. The strong projection means it doesn't need heavy application; one or two sprays will suffice to carry you through the day. Given its moderate longevity, a reapplication might be needed after lunch.
