Reassuring, sophisticated, and timeless. Colonia is the iconic Acqua di Parma Eau de Cologne that symbolises Italianity in a universally-loved, harmonious citrus blend.
Originally created in 1916, Colonia is the very definition of a timeless classic, a fragrance that expresses sunny elegance on all occasions. As soon as Acqua di Parmas instantly recognisable golden fruits blend of radiant lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and orange start to spill their luminous notes into the air, the perfumes sparkling character comes alive. It is amplified even more in the aromatic heart of the fragrance where lavender and hints of rose harmoniously intertwine with aromatic rosemary. Warm and precious woody notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli round off the base of this iconic Eau de Cologne.
Colonia comes in the iconic Acqua di Parma bottle, a must-have design object with Art Deco influences. The classic white labels echo the timeless, universally-loved character of the Eau de Cologne while the box, characterised by its cylinder shape, is dressed in our signature yellow shade. The coat of arms on the label underlines the long history of the Maison.
Acqua di Parma as a synonym for quality and elegance for more than 100 years.
The exclusive niche perfume house Acqua di Parma was founded in 1916 in the heart of the old Italian city, Parma. In a small perfume workshop, a modern, light, fresh fragrance was created, quickly won hearts of all Hollywood stars. The first Italian Eau de Cologne was created exclusively from natural derived ingredients and as such, it became the basis for upgrading all new fragrance compositions for this, must-have, Italian brand.
Acqua di Parma Colonia Eau de Cologne became a symbol of the 1930s, and its legendary appearance in an art deco bottle remains a trademark of the house today. Over time, Acqua di Parma, a true representative of the Italian style “less is always more”, has become an unavoidable choice for members of high society.
