Launched in 2017, Note di Colonia IV by Acqua di Parma is a captivating Oriental Floral fragrance that reflects the brand's enduring Italian elegance. The composition opens with bright mandarin orange and bergamot, evoking the freshness of an Italian morning. These top notes give way to a heart of orange blossom and Turkish rose, adding layers of sweetness and floral complexity. The base notes of opoponax, labdanum, and patchouli introduce warmth and depth, creating a rich and enveloping finish that balances the bright citrus opening.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm yet crisp effect. The citrus notes are bright but fade quickly, so ensure you layer them over the rich base notes that bloom after an hour. It's best suited for daytime wear, where its fresh and enveloping character shines brightest.
