Acqua di Parma Colonia Il Profumo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Colonia Il Profumo opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, Lavender, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Acqua di Parma's Colonia Il Profumo carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Colonia Il Profumo is Acqua di Parma's bid to modernise its classic DNA, resulting in a citrus powerhouse that's both addictive and polarising. Expect a luminous, zesty opening, but debate rages over its staying power.

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.

About

A vibrant blast of sun-drenched Italian citrus kicks things off, with juicy pineapple and sharp lemon invigorating the senses. This bright opening mellows into a sophisticated heart of ylang-ylang and lavender, adding a soft, clean floral touch. The journey concludes on a warm, earthy base, where vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli intertwine with a hint of suede-like leather, grounding the effervescence with refined woody depth.
