The Story

Launched in 2016, Cedro di Taormina by Acqua di Parma is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men that captures the essence of Italian elegance with a fresh, spicy twist. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend of citruses and petitgrain, balanced by the green freshness of basil and lavender. As it develops, black pepper adds a subtle heat to the aromatic heart, while virginian cedar, vetiver, and labdanum provide a grounding woody base. This fragrance stands out for its harmonious balance between crisp freshness and warm woodiness.
