Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato

Acqua di Parma · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acqua di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato is a unisex scent that ties a fresh opening of blood orange, Italian bergamot and grapefruit to a woody base of vetiver and patchouli. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though few people have voted, so this is a tendency rather than a firm verdict. The cologne-like lightness suits daytime and warm weather, and it reads equally well on anyone. Citrus and petitgrain come first. Toward the heart, Madagascan ylang-ylang adds a soft floral note, rosemary a spicy greenness, and orange leaf absolute rounds it out. In the base, vetiver and patchouli set a woody footing, with a creamy softness running through. Acqua di Parma Colonia Il Profumo and Colonia Essenza share a close profile.

Foglie di Basilico

6.9

Acqua di Parma · 1999

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Acqua di Parma Foglie di Basilico is a fresh, green, citrusy unisex scent that suits daily wear and leisure; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than leaving a heavy trail. Most voters pick it for daytime, leisure and work, while evening and night out play a smaller part. It opens with the brightness of bergamot, and basil in the heart adds a green, spicy touch. Sage in the base keeps it dry and herbal, and the accords add a soft fruity edge. Le Labo Colette 19 and Zuma Bergamotto have a close profile.

Oud Ambrosia

7.8

Acqua di Parma · 2026

Citrus · Green · Fruity

Acqua di Parma Oud Ambrosia is a unisex scent that sets oud, saffron and leather against bright citrus and fruit. Longevity and projection are rated good, though the small number of votes makes this tentative. The warm, spicy, resinous build suits cooler weather, but there are no season or occasion votes to say more. It opens with clementine, Italian blood orange and papaya, with violet leaf adding a green edge. Oud and saffron lead the heart. The base of oud resin, leather, honey, tobacco and amber turns sweet, woody and leathery. Habibi Honeyed Tobacco & Oud and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud share a close profile.

Zafferano Ambrosia

6.5

Acqua di Parma · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acqua di Parma Zafferano Ambrosia is a sweet, spicy unisex scent that sets the bright citrus of bergamot and red mandarin against the warmth of saffron and orange blossom. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. With no gender lean, it sits comfortably on men and women alike. It opens with ginger, Calabrian bergamot and Italian red mandarin orange, a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine sambac and saffron bring a floral, spicy warmth. Vanilla, patchouli and amber then settle it onto a sweet, resinous, slightly earthy base.

Quercia Marina

7.0

Acqua di Parma · 1999

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Acqua di Parma Quercia Marina is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent built around mint and Virginia cedar. Mint and seagrass give it a cool, green feel, while Virginia cedar settles it onto a woody, slightly resinous base. Carnation adds a floral and spicy touch. There is also a faintly synthetic freshness leaning towards the fougère family. The perfume has been discontinued. Jo Loves... Shards of Cedar & Red Thyme and Diptyque Eau de Minthé have a close profile.

Oud & Zagara

7.2

Acqua di Parma · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acqua di Parma Oud & Zagara pairs oud with Sicilian orange blossom, a unisex scent where fresh citrus meets a spicy, woody depth. Its sillage is rated good, though only a few votes stand behind that, so it is a rough guide at best. There is not enough information on longevity, seasons or occasions. Being unisex, it suits both men's and women's skin. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: lemon and bergamot give a bright citrus freshness, while ylang-ylang and Sicilian orange blossom form the floral side. Saffron and nutmeg add a spicy warmth, and oud, cistus and vetiver build a woody, resinous, earthy base. Suede brings a soft leathery touch, and musk and ambergris wrap everything in an animalic sweetness.

Italian Resort Tonifying Body Mist

6.6

Acqua di Parma

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Acqua di Parma Italian Resort Tonifying Body Mist is a unisex body mist built on green notes, citrus notes and marine notes; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as fresh and watery throughout: the citrus notes bring a bright, fruity lift while the green notes add a cool, herbal edge. The marine notes push the aquatic side forward, and the blend stays fresh from start to finish. A synthetic tone among the accords gives it a clean, light character. Rayhaan Adonis Icarus and Massimo Dutti Island Accord have a close profile.

Gelsomino a Freddo Ambrosia

7.3

Acqua di Parma · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acqua di Parma Gelsomino a Freddo Ambrosia is a fresh, floral unisex scent that sets jasmine and black tea beside frankincense and cedarwood. It opens with Italian lemon, cardamom and frankincense: the citrus is bright, the cardamom adds a spicy edge, and the frankincense brings a light resinous tone. The heart holds jasmine, black tea, iris and myrrh, where the floral side turns creamy and slightly sweet. The base of cedarwood, gaiac wood, vetiver and sandalwood gives it a woody, faintly earthy footing. Overall it moves from a citrus start to a dry, woody floral.
