Celebrating its first centenary, Acqua Di Parma has launched the Note di Colonia collection, which is inspired by the world of opera and is contained in a reinterpretation of Colonia’s first bottle, offering lasting, alluring scents for confident men and women.
Note di Colonia I celebrates one of Italian opera’s best-known episodes of La Traviata, “Libiamo ne’ lieti calici”. Its vibrant composition emits an atmosphere that is joyful and full of vivacity. The citrus start, classically cologne, sweetens, and becomes soft and embracing as it encounters the heart of the fragrance. The composition fuses the freshness of lavender with the velvety warmth of Damascus rose and violet accord. In the rich and sumptuous finale, there is a refined combination of patchouli and cedarwood.
Note di Colonia II is an homage to Giacomo Puccini’s art “Nessun dorma”, Turandot, and is a composition that mingles fresh citrus notes with woody and aromatic emphasis. The radiant notes of bergamot, orange, and grapefruit express the hope that emerges in the darkness. The olfactory rhythm is sustained and strong with vibrant notes of basil and cardamom, and the extraordinarily soft and engaging tones of sandalwood arrive united with the smoky grey tones of guaiac. Emotions that are enriched in the velvet base by new undertones, with the refined encounter of musk and vetiver.
Note di Colonia III, with its majestic and triumphant notes like the “Marcia Trionfale”, glorifies one of the most famous pages of Italian opera, Aida. The glorious and vibrant accord of mandarin and ginger conquers straight away with its vigour. The notes are enriched in the heart with touches of vetiver, which finds a deep counterpoint to its dry and woody accents in the warm and resinous note of olibanum brightened by jasmine. In its final part, the fragrance transmits a sense of eternity, with the refined notes of Tonka bean that meet the intense and full-bodied notes of labdanum ciste and myrrh.
