Launched in 2016 and created by François Demachy, Colonia Sandalo Concentrée is an evolution of Acqua di Parma’s iconic Colonia fragrance. This woody aromatic composition opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic blend of orange, bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain, providing a fresh and invigorating start. As it settles, the heart of lavender and cardamom introduces a warm spicy tension that cuts through the initial brightness. The base notes of sandalwood, tonka bean, and amber create a rich, powdery warmth that lingers softly on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays initially; the citrus top notes are vivid but fade quickly. The sandalwood and tonka bean base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to settle before reapplying if needed.
