Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Inspired by Colonia
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Acqua di Parma's Colonia (1916) - the founding Italian eau de cologne that became Acqua di Parma's defining signature and a classic citrus-aromatic, here translated into a Sicilian lemon-bergamot opening over lavender and rosemary with a patchouli-vetiver close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime classic wear at a fraction of the designer price.
