Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Acqua di Parma’s latest fragrance, Colonia Il Profumo. As a longtime admirer of the brand, I was eager to experience this new take on their signature citrus scent, Colonia—and it did not disappoint.
Colonia Il Profumo is a refined reinterpretation of Acqua di Parma’s fragrance heritage, capturing the essence of Italian elegance in a sophisticated Eau de Parfum. The scent is a radiant blend of fresh citrus and warm, earthy notes, making it a versatile choice for both men and women.
The fragrance opens with an invigorating burst of bergamot, grapefruit, blood orange, and petitgrain, creating an immediate sense of freshness. As it unfolds, the heart reveals a rich combination of rosemary, orange leaves absolute, and the luminous floralcy of ylang ylang—a key ingredient chosen for its ability to enhance the golden citrus notes while adding depth and modernity. The base is grounded by the warm and sophisticated essence of vetiver and patchouli, giving the fragrance a structured and lasting impression.
Visually, the golden hue of the perfume reflects the warmth of the Italian sun and the vibrancy of citrus groves. The bottle itself is an elegant nod to this heritage, with a golden-tinted base that adds a sense of richness and intensity.
If you’re a fan of fresh and refined citrus fragrances that balance brightness with sophistication, Colonia Il Profumo is a must-try. Available now from SKINS for R4200 for a 100ml SHOP, this scent is a timeless addition to any fragrance lover’s collection.
