The brightness of lemon, the uplifting sparkle of Calabrian bergamot, and the soft sweetness of orange define the unmistakable opening of Colonia — a radiant introduction reminiscent of sunlight washing over the historic walls of Parma. The fragrance evokes the sensation of walking through a city palace, where painted ceilings and frescoed rooms are bathed in a warm, inviting glow.

Vibrant, sophisticated, and timeless, Colonia is the emblematic Eau de Cologne from Acqua di Parma, a true symbol of Italian style and modern metropolitan elegance. Created in 1916, it embodies the essence of Italian luxury — refined, enduring, and effortlessly graceful.

As the citrus notes gently settle, an aromatic heart unfolds. Lavender emerges with soft clarity, accompanied by a subtle hint of rose and the aromatic freshness of rosemary, creating a composition that feels poised, clean, and elegant. The base introduces warmer, deeper tones of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, adding richness and balance to the brightness above — like warmth lingering in sun-warmed stone. A delicate trace of lemon remains, leaving an impression that is fresh, luminous, and unmistakably Italian.

The fragrance is presented in the quintessential Acqua di Parma bottle, an icon of Art Deco design. The transparent glass allows the nuances of Colonia to be fully appreciated, while the classic black cap adds a note of understated sophistication. Minimal white labels reflect the refined aesthetics of the Colonia collection, and the cylindrical matte-paper box, finished in the brand’s signature vibrant yellow, completes the presentation with a timeless, elegant touch.
