Acqua di Parma Colonia Pura
by Acqua di Parma
Acqua di Parma Colonia Pura is a bright, airy, and modern citrus fragrance designed for warm weather, particularly summer. It opens with a crisp, effervescent blend of bergamot, orange, and ozonic notes, creating a fresh and slightly metallic air reminiscent of a clean car interior or a seaside breeze. The middle notes feature subtle white florals—jasmine sambac and narcissus—lending a soft, slightly sweet depth, while coriander and cedar add a cool, herbal edge. The dry down settles into a clean, musky base with a hint of patchouli, giving it a subtle, skin-like character. It’s a versatile, unisex scent that feels both refined and casual, ideal for daytime wear in business settings or relaxed summer outings. While praised for its elegant transparency and balanced composition, its performance is notably moderate—lasting around 4 to 6 hours on skin, with projection fading to intimate levels after the first hour. Longevity can be extended by applying to clothing or using an atomizer.
