Colonia Pura
Colonia Pura by Acqua di Parma is an unisex eau de cologne from 2019 in the premium price tier. It opens with bergamot, sweet orange and petitgrain, moves into coriander, sambac jasmine and narcissus and dries down to cedarwood, patchouli and musk. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Heart
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Narcissus Green, hay-like and slightly animalic. Strange and beautiful.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
