Appreciate this content! Colonia is a great classic fragrance: it may not swivel heads but no one will ever be insulted by it either. Adds a nice ambiance to any room as long as it's not winter.
Hey Adam. Andrew here, I really love Colonia and you are bang on. Its a classic fragrance thats discreet but when you notice it on someone you cannot help but admire its quality.
Magnolia Nobile sounds really nice ... ❤️ and Colonia too for men.. i loved your reactions with that! i have never smelled anything from Acqua di Parma. Will need to get my hands in some samples. Exciting!! 🤩 Thank you for this you guys!!!
Hello Paola! We had been meaning to review Acqua di Parma for some as tbh we kinda neglected them. Well worth getting yourself some samples or testing in-store if you can do that safely. x
If you want a more robust, and resinous Colonia, go for ADP Colonia Essenza. It’s longer lasting than the original Colonia - both have unique, yet similar scent profiles and I recommend having both.
I've ignored the Acqua di Parma house up to now because I had a long Designer wish list. Now that this is completed I look forward to getting some higher quality fragrances for more special occasions. Fico di Amalfi sounds great and I've read great things about Colonia Essenza too. Thanks for the reviews!
Hello Ronald! Our pleasure, Acqua di Parma is well worth checking out. They offer a few discovery sets which is a good way to get acquainted with the brand. Will pop a few links for you (sorry they are UK links but will give you an idea!). Colonia Essenza looks interesting. Will get our hands on a sample and do a single review soon (link below in case anyone else wants to check it out). Have a great day! www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Acqua-di-Parma/Essenza-di-Colonia-9829.html Acqua di Parma Discovery sets: www.acquadiparma.com/en/gb/colonia-miniature-set/COLONIAMINIATURESET.html www.acquadiparma.com/en/gb/blu-mediterraneo-miniature-set/BMMINSET.html
I've been curious about Aqua di Parma, so thank you for this review. It seems they all have citrus openings, for the most part, lemon in particular. Very reminiscent of the Amalfi coast, makes me think of being on holiday, by the ocean and beach, almost resort like. What a great fragrance line!!! I have been switching to sweet vanilla fragrances, because it is getting cooler here in Chicago, to more vacation like smells, trying to hold on to the beautiful weather. Aqua di Parma would be great for that!!!
Hello Marybeth! Yes they are bright fragrances with lots of upfront citrus. Very holiday-friendly happy fragrances indeed. We were planning an Italian trip in 2020 but alas will have to be another time. Chicago is 10 degrees warmer than chilly, wet London! 😆
Sorry about your trip to Italy , I understand because I was supposed to go to Ireland and we had everything planned but I always say Ireland is not going anywhere and neither is Italy
Yes, not sure why Iris Nobile got discontinued, its a pretty and powdery feminine floral. I guess not enough sales. 😢 We have seen it for sale on a few fragrance discounter sites in case you are interested! x vioralondon.com/top-10-best-perfume-discounters-online/

Thanks for the suggestion @Lord Charfield - Will check it out and do a side-by-side comparison soon - Andrew

Yep indeed, there is always next year!!!
Are the gold ones feminine?
I have a couple from this house and love mirto di pana
yes the gold ones are also feminine, very pretty xx
What a surprise! my fav ones are the same as Ingrid's.🤍
Hello @Lucie B - haha, we are clearly aligned and both have excellent taste in fragrance. 😊 - Ingrid x
Iris Nobile is my favourite, now sadly discontinued.
