Launched in 2012, Colonia Intensa Oud Eau de Cologne Concentrée by Acqua di Parma is an elegant and richly layered composition that builds on the house’s signature cologne. The fragrance opens with luminous citruses, setting a fresh and vibrant tone before transitioning into a heart of agarwood (oud), coriander, and amyris wood from Hawaii. This combination creates a warm, spicy, and woody character that is further deepened by base notes of leather and musk, offering an animalic and sensual undertone. The result is a scent that embodies the modern interpretation of Italian elegance.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance with a light touch to allow its layers to unfold naturally. The oud and leather notes take some time to develop, so it’s best to let it settle for about an hour before heading out. It's perfect for evenings when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
