Essenza di Colonia by Acqua di Parma
Launch Year: 2010
Perfumer: François Demachy
Concentration: Eau de Cologne
Fragrance Profile:
Essenza di Colonia is a bold, modern interpretation of the original Colonia, crafted with a more intense, elegant character. It opens with a vibrant citrus accord of lemon, orange, grapefruit, and bergamot. The heart is enriched with floral and herbal notes, including rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, clove, and rosemary. The base is deeper and more structured, featuring patchouli, white musk, vetiver, and amber, offering a refined and sophisticated drydown.
Performance:
Despite being an Eau de Cologne, Essenza offers impressive longevity—around 6–8 hours—with moderate projection. It balances brightness with depth, making it versatile for various settings.
Ideal For:
Ideal for spring, summer, or formal daywear. Essenza di Colonia is perfect for lovers of classic Italian citrus fragrances who desire a more intense and long-lasting evolution with a contemporary twist.
