Our view
Colonia is the original: the cologne created by Acqua di Parma in 1916, which became a symbol of Italian elegance. Sicilian and Calabrian citrus sparkle, then give way to a heart of lavender and rose, on a woody base of vetiver and sandalwood. Fresh, refined, timeless: a gift that never misses.
When to wear it
All year round, and especially in fine weather. Ideal every day, in the morning after the shower or when travelling. Unisex.
