Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia IV is a Cologne launched in 2017. Note di Colonia IV opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Labdanum, and Opoponax.

Divisive and pricey, this Acqua di Parma offers a complex, theatrical journey from bright citrus to balsamic resins. Some find it a masterpiece of elegance, others a chaotic mess. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind reach.

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

Opens with a vibrant, uplifting burst of mandarin and bergamot, quickly ushering in a delicate yet rich heart of orange blossom and Turkish rose. As it settles, a warm, resinous foundation of opoponax and labdanum emerges, beautifully grounded by an earthy patchouli. This fragrance masterfully transitions from bright and fresh to a sophisticated, ambery depth.
