Our Verdict - Colonia EDC
The ultimate citrus cologne - effortlessly refined, sparkling with Italian sunshine, and never out of place. Timeless, crisp, and the gold standard for freshness.

Our Verdict - Dallas EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Acqua di Parma Colonia (1916) - sicilian citrus, lavender and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
