Launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Nicolas Bonneville, Note di Colonia III by Acqua di Parma is a proof of the brand's Italian elegance. The composition opens with mandarin orange and ginger, creating a fresh spicy aroma that immediately invigorates the senses. As it evolves, olibanum (frankincense) and jasmine add depth, while vetiver brings an earthy, woody undertone. The base notes of myrrh, labdanum, and tonka bean introduce warmth and sweetness, grounding the fragrance in a rich balsamic accord.

Application Tips
This fragrance is best applied in moderation — a light spritz on pulse points allows the layers to unfold naturally. The fresh spicy opening fades within two hours, so reapply if you want it to linger throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet confidence of an Italian city square at twilight, where the crisp citrus notes blend with the warmth of the evening and the subtle earthiness of vetiver.
