Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Alberto Morillas. Acqua Essenziale Colonia opens with Bergamot and Rainwater, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lavender, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Ambroxan. Salvatore Ferragamo's Acqua Essenziale Colonia carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This "Colonia" is a surprisingly sophisticated, modern take on a classic Italian barbershop scent. It's often compared to Acqua di Parma but at a fraction of the price, leading to strong love-it-or-hate-it opinions on its quality and performance. Worth a try if you want a classy, clean warm-weather cheapie.

About

Imagine a cool, crisp rain shower on a Mediterranean morning. Acqua Essenziale Colonia opens with uplifting bergamot and a watery freshness before easing into a heart of aromatic lavender and bright orange blossom, underpinned by a herbaceous clary sage. The base lingers with a clean, slightly sweet warmth from ambroxan, vetiver, and a touch of tonka bean.
