Powerful Sunshine Caught in a Perfume bottle

Imagine stepping into an Italian summer, the golden sunlight kissing your skin, a soft breeze carrying the scent of citrus groves, and timeless elegance in the air. Now, bottle that feeling.

It’s a sophisticated, modern interpretation that takes everything we love about the original and dials it up with extra depth, richness, and staying power.

What’s the secret behind this luxurious reinvention? When a perfume becomes ‘extended’ or ‘stronger,’ it’s not just about increasing the same ingredients. Instead, new notes are introduced, reshaping the entire composition. Think of it as a chemical reaction, one new ingredient can shift the balance of all others; blowing it up from magnificent to beautifully extreme.

In perfumery, some notes not only add an ‘explosive‘ element but also create a fresh perspective. Acqua di Parma’s Colonia, the iconic scent, known for its vibrant citrus opening, floral heart, and woody base, now has a contemporary sibling.

Acqua di Parma has long been synonymous with effortless Italian elegance, and Colonia Il Profumo is no exception. This luxury fragrance reinvention opens with a burst of sun-drenched citrus, juicy Sicilian Lemon, Calabrian Bergamot, and Sweet Orange, so fresh it practically sparkles.

However, just when you think you know where the scent is heading, Ylang-Ylang steps in; its velvety warmth balances the brightness, adding both depth and mystery. As the fragrance settles, earthy Patchouli and the smokey root of Vetiver create a smooth, woody base, enhancing its refined sophistication and leaving a lasting impression.

Ultimately, whether you’re drawn to the refined intensity of Colonia Il Profumo or its original sister, both these fragrances define luxury. The bottles, alive with yellow hues, evoking the glorious heat of the Italian sun, the brightness of Italian Citrus fruits and the vitality of life itself.
