I’ve been praising this one for three years. Went in a shop while in Mexico to purchase Colonia Essenza and walked out with Intensa. My favorite of the entire brand
Hi George , I was the winner of this Scent in the Euro giveaway. Its beautiful I'm so pleased I chose this one. Thank you my friend. Mark
You have in fact turned me onto Aqua di Parma, what others do you recommend, whatever genre, I have the collection bug for years now so I would really welcome your input. Mark
Nice review George. Great frag, love the woody backbone against the citrus’s with this one. A solid summer scent! ☀️
Your channel is amazing George. Congratulations! Elegance, passion and humor when talking about fragrances plus beautiful backgrounds and music.
Regarding the fragrance, it's geat. The only I'd buy (32 years old) together with Essenza (my favorite), spicy woody citrus that lasts.
Love this , I’m on my 3rd , I’ve got the strong original formulation with wooden cap that use very rarely, I’ve use the modern formulation a lot especially at weekends
Two days in a row! Christmas has arrived early! Thank you sir.
Mmmmhm, yummy! Looking good and smelling fresh has done wonders for my confidence!! Thank you, buddy!
I bought this on your recommendation. Thank you so much this to me is a fresh, mature gentleman type fragrance I love it!!
Just bought this. My third blind buy because of you, and all have been in the top 10 of 150 fragrances I've worn.
Hi George, amazing video 👍👍 I tend to look for more complex fragrances with depth, but once in a while I get remained that not all fragrances have to be overly complex etc. Sometimes it's enough if the are just simple, straight forward and we'll made. I also really enjoy the Acqua di Parma line. Looking forward to your next video ☺️
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Balanced and well crafted video. Love the outro
Spot on analysis of this modern classic. My wife LOVES this one on me. I probably have 60 fragrances and it seems like this is her favorite which is nuts. I found it boring and dated at first but it’s grown on me to be one of my favorites.
Also, I get a bit of a fresh leather in the mid and dry down…
Got this one because of you! It's an incredible scent!
I have this beautiful fragrance as well and love it too!
Two videos back to back?! I’m feeling spoiled. Thanks George!
I really enjoy your channel it's first class
I was in Florence last week and used this everyday its magic!
Absolutely beautiful scent, I prefer the opening of Essenza, but the dry down of this is fantastic
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Fantastic video from an exquisite gent. This amazing fragrance definitely suits you, George. This one just oozes charisma and screams “gentleman”. In other words, this was formulated specifically for The Fragrance Apprentice. Be well! 👍🍻
Well said sir. My wife picked this up for me by mistake. She was supposed to get me essenza. I love it
My favourite Aqua di Parma, came across it in John Lewis years back and bought a 180ml bottle, one of go to fragrances when I don’t know what to wear and always enjoy the scent, don’t think I’ll ever get bored of this one.
I will have to try this one. Xerjoff Nio is my current go-to in similar situations.

Hello from Italy. I was wearing this one over the weekend.
Brilliant fragrance George. Or atleast I've heard it is, seems my bottle is filled with water... Great video though, glad to see you're back mate!
I adore Colonia Intensa. Intensa and Ambra are my favorite from the Colonia line.
Very nice Review! Have you tried Amouage Overture Man George? You need to! This stuff is fire!
Great one honestly
More videos George please 🙏
Instead of saying ‘dumb reach’ AdP is really more of a ‘no brainer’ to wear. Really enjoy this house and now i have to try this one.
love this cologne... aqua di parma Ebano. fantastic! the drydown reminds me of dolce & gabbana masculine dolce gabbana and terre d'hermes. I think it is discontinued. I gotta find some clones. I really do love this cologne.
I was eyeing this one if I were to go more into Parma, the only one I tried was Colonia Essenza but I found it a bit sharp of a citrus-cologne style for me.
George I'm flying into London next year.. would love to meet you!
Going to treat myself 😊 had the original years ago
What are your favorite formal fragrances for every season George?
I came here to see if I'd buy it. You sold another one and I found it for 60$ 3.4oz! Thanks
Mr. Wilkinson complimented you on this one too yeh? I'm not going to lie, both endorsements were instrumental in me having another go. I'm glad I did.
I just enjoy your taste of fragrances....I had stopped buying into the hype..now i sample and go with what I actually think is nice ? Unique and sophisticated..
Totally agree Mike. This one is so Summer, so uplifting, and I wouldn't have found it without George.
@@ultravires666 i will sample it and see how i like it and probably get it
I never really cared for this one, but I picked-up Colonia Futura a couple months back (very cheap from Costco no less) and I'm really enjoying it this Summer heat. Go figure! Regardless, enjoyed the review.
@Jimr880 After seeing your comment, I thought I'd get your opinion if you don't mind. I've never sniffed an Acqua Di Parma scent, but I'm thinking of blind buying one. Would you be able to tell me why you prefer the Futura over the Intensa? Also, is the Futura your favorite ADP scent out of all the Colonia ones?... Thanks. 😊
Brilliant
Have you had your nose on ADP Colonia Futura? I would love to see you review it. Cheers.
I just wish it had more power and longevity. I could go through a 6oz bottle in a single summer if I wore it everyday (and I could, it’s that perfect)
A nice one
I know what you mean about City on Fire. I love it, but when I sprayed it, my wife was like "did you light a match?" Not many occasions when it's appropriate.
I like Mandorlo Di Sicilia and Club the best.
Love this aftershave!
😂😂
It smells like AFTERSHAVE? 🙁
I got a deal on a tester, it a great buy for the right price.
Stellar brand
Brilliant✌
I just gifted this for my friend. Hope he likes it. What do you think of Assoluta George?
Hey, George! I saw you having fragrances in the top-right of the screen near a burning candle.. don't they get damaged by the heat?
Wait there, 3 of my all time favourites are acqua di Parma Oud, Sandalo, and LEATHER😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Huge AdP Oud fan here too.
My summer favourite is Mancera Wave Musk.
I'm going to blind buy this today based on this video!!
Waiting eau des merveilles...
I got it for 30 euros. 100ml. Good deal, awesome smell
Perofmance?? Just kidding we all do that on slides… Thanks for the review. Sounds like this will work better than Artisan Pure which faded after minutes on my skin. 👍
@WhatHappend. Another YT reviewer (Mr. Smelly) recommended putting some unscented moisturizer in the palm of hand, spraying a weak cologne like Artisan Pure on to the moisturizer, rubbing both hands together, and then rubbing it on your face, neck and arms. I have Varvatos Vintage, and I'm going to try this tip with that weak fragrance. 😊
Essenza vs intensa vs futura? Never smelled adp, not available here sadly. Will have to blind buy one of them eventually! Essenza/intensa sound 10/10!
I prefer Intensa, but Essenza is nice too. It has a soapy aspect because of neroli that don't really care for.
Essenza is very soapy and has a bit of ambery backbone. I would say it is one of the citruses that wears well in colder weather too.
Very hit and miss brand for me, love the hits and hate the misses.
The original colonia is a huge hit imo
I'm undecided between original colonia and intensa. I agree that the original is just incredible!
What other ones are hits ? I feel the same as you hits and misses.
@@fallguy6196 colonia Mirra, colonia essenza, colonia, colonia leather.
Others may disagree
@@RichMitch interesting always wanted to try the leather. How is the performance of the original on you ?
@@fallguy6196 not great! It is a cologne though, to be expected. Great scent though
I have smelled colonia but not colonia intensa… what’s the difference?
My most worn to work fragrance ever.
Ha….pumping out the content now George ☺️….month off did you good 😂
Intensa is a beautiful fragrance. Essenza though, I can't tolerate. I honestly believe that is a bad smelling fragrance. My favourites from the house are Intensa, Leather, Oud, Ebano ( beautiful), Sandalo and almost everything from the Mediterranean line.
Look at that dent.
How many summer formal occasions do you attend yearly Georgie Boy??
👍👍👍
Apparently, Agua de Colonia Concentrada Barberia by Alvarez Goméz smells similar to this, at a fraction of the price. My bottle will arrive in a few days, so I'll be able to offer an opinion then. AdP has superb quality imo, so it will be interesting to see how they compare.
@Mattsmith. Just curious, how does the cheap one stand up to the real ADP? 😊
I love this scent, but sadly very poor performance……..so I bought an additional bottle and just spray it liberally! I also carry a decant. This will always be in my collection…….
The searing citrus in this scent just never gives way. It's very cleaning product like. Disappointing to me because I quite like the smokey/leathery accords here. Scent is eternal. Could never escape that cloying citrus.
I'm with you on the Colonia. Love it. Also just some feedback, and take in consideration I'm 66. Your look from a year and a half or so made you look younger and more happier/together. This look looks fun but makes you look older, a bit comical, and like your trying too hard. Note I'm a little bit hippie from the 60's and smoke a little pot so the outfit and hair is cool with me just but I think its not your best look. Just saying. Not meant to be insulting. Your a cool guy and been following your channel for years just thought you might appreciate the feedback since as a RUclips influencer (like with a movie actor or model) and that means your look is part of what sells you.
Are u crazy? This is HIS look boss. He's been developing it for years. That car makes u look lile youre trying to hard. Clearly not even a hellcat. Car makes u look older and a bit comical.
I just got a decant of this and love the scent but the performance is horrible for me. I sprayed 5 sprays on my neck and one each elbow and wrist. My wife could BARELY smell it on me 2 hours later. Way too expensive for the performance you get IMHO.
PEROFMANCE!
Don't keep candles close to fragrances
I love this one and the original and I understand they are more of an extension of your shower in smelling clean and soapy but no one can smell them on you at all. I can barely smell them on me. Frustrating because they smell incredible. I get awful performance from the original and the intensa. I no they are not supposed to be performance driven scents but these are beyond terrible.
