Acqua di Parma began as a small workshop in Parma, where in 1916 it introduced its first scent, Acqua di Parma Colonia, originally used to scent gentlemen’s handkerchiefs. Over time, it evolved into a symbol of Italian elegance, growing into a globally recognized house. Colonia is a timeless citrus composition featuring lavender, rosemary, Sicilian citrus, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, amber, and soft musk, delivering a fresh yet refined character.
