Acqua di Parma Acqua di Parma Profumo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1930.

Acqua di Parma's Acqua di Parma Profumo carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly classic, complex chypre that commands respect. Divisive for some due to its old-school vibe, but for others, it's a 'holy grail' masterpiece, effortlessly elegant and long-lasting.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

While its long-lasting nature means a light hand is needed for the office, its inherent elegance and complexity make it ideal for formal events and sophisticated date nights. It's too grand for casual wear and definitely not suitable for sport.

About

Acqua di Parma Profumo opens with a bright, uplifting burst of bergamot, softened by the rich, exotic florals of ylang-ylang and delicate peony. As it evolves, a lavish heart of rose and jasmine emerges, expertly blended with the deep, resinous warmth of labdanum. The dry down is a sophisticated embrace of musky woods, featuring smooth sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a subtle hint of patchouli, creating a complex and enduring elegance.
