Colonia Il Profumo
Colonia Il Profumo by Acqua di Parma is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, blood orange and petitgrain, moves into rosemary and ylang-ylang and dries down to vetiver and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Heart
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
