The Story

Note Di Colonia V by Acqua di Parma was launched in 2020 as a Woody Aromatic fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the bright, zesty notes of Calabrian bergamot and lemon, which are immediately balanced by the warmth of pink pepper and ginger. The heart introduces a subtle fresh spicy edge from juniper before settling into a woody base of cedar and sandalwood that reads as powdery and understated.

While rooted in Acqua di Parma’s traditional Italian elegance, Note Di Colonia V offers a modern twist with its vibrant citrus top notes and aromatic heart. This blend makes it feel fresh yet sophisticated, fitting for the brand's legacy of lasting chic.

François Demachy portrait
I grew up in Grasse. The raw materials of perfumery are my mother tongue.

François Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood. Before joining Dior in 2006, he spent two decades at Chanel. At Dior, Demachy has reimagined the house's olfactory heritage while pushing it forward, creating Sauvage (now the world's best-selling men's fragrance), Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, and the prestigious La Collection Privée series.
