Acqua di Parma Colonia Acqua di Parma

The fragrance features Sicilian Citruses, Lavender, Lemon Verbena, Rosemary, White Musk, Vetiver, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Amber and Vervain. Acqua di Parma started as a small factory in Parma. The first fragrance was created in 1916, Colonia, and at the beginning it was used to perfume gentlemen\'s handkerchiefs. Colonia became a real symbol of Italian chic among American and European celebrities in the pre-war (1930\'s) and post-war (1950\'s) years. Cary Grant and David Niven, Ava Gadner and Eva Turner, later joined by Audrey Hepburn, were among the passionate admirers of Colonia. From a small factory, Acqua di Parma grew into a prominent house with wide range distribution. Acqua Di Parma Colonia was presented as a citrus fragrance. It was composed of lavender, rosemary, Sicilian citrus, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, amber and light musk. The bottle is simple but elegant, charming in the Italian way. It comes as 180ml bath oil and Eau de Parfum. There is another version of this fragrance, the limited edition for 2007, named Colonia Edizione Murano. The bottle is made of Murano glass, beautiful and elegant, designed by Giorgio Vigna. Read more about this fragrance in the article on the prestige Italian house Acqua di Parma.
