Acqua di Parma
Colonia II Profumo Millesimato EDP
“Aperol Spritz on a Positano terrace — Italian sunshine with good breeding.”
The Millesimato (vintage) editions in the Colonia line preserve the 1916 original recipe in small-batch annual releases — Alexis Dadier's 2025 limited-edition vintage of Acqua di Parma's classical Colonia. A citrus-aromatic-woody masculine with bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain, and grapefruit at the top, an orange leaf-ylang-rosemary heart, and a vetiver-patchouli base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, lasts 6–8 hours with moderate projection.
