Colonia Intensa Oud

Acqua di Parma is a prestigious Italian fragrance house that was established in 1916 in Parma, Italy, by baron Carlo Magnani. The brand began with its now-iconic fragrance, Colonia, which was designed to be a light and refreshing alternative to the heavier fragrances popular at the time. Initially gaining popularity among the Italian aristocracy, Acqua di Parma eventually attracted a global audience. The brand epitomises Italian elegance and sophistication, drawing inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the artisanal craftsmanship of Parma. Over the years, Acqua di Parma has remained dedicated to traditional methods, using high-quality, natural ingredients and maintaining a commitment to timeless style and luxury. Acqua di Parma’s ethos revolves around understated luxury, sophistication, and a deep respect for tradition and heritage. Their fragrance collections reflect this, offering a range of scents that are often inspired by Italian landscapes, art, and history. The brand’s offerings include Colonia, a classic citrus aromatic fragrance; Blu Mediterraneo, inspired by the Italian Mediterranean; and Le Nobili, which captures the essence of Italian gardens. Notable perfumers who have contributed to Acqua di Parma’s creations include master perfumer Olivier Cresp and François Demachy, who have helped to shape the brand’s modern interpretations of classic Italian perfumery. Acqua di Parma’s fragrances are characterised by their refined compositions, natural elegance, and the seamless blending of tradition with modernity.
