Colonia Il Profumo is a modern and intensified reinterpretation of Italian Acqua di Parma's first ever fragrance, the iconic Colonia, originally launched in 1916. Formulated here as a powerful Eau de Parfum, the fragrance draws inspiration from the sunny Italian landscape with its citrus groves, now with a refined blend of ylang ylang and patchouli, which together with vetiver in the base enhance and extend the bright fresh top notes.
Elegant, energising and sophisticated – classic and up-to-date at the same time – and suitable for both everyday and dressed-up occasions.
Top notes: Italian bergamot, Grapefruit, Blood orange, Petitgrain
Heart notes: Rosemary, Ylang Ylang, Orange leaf absolute
Base notes: Patchouli, Vetiver
I've tried AdP Colonia Original and it is fresh and good, but I found this one a little better. Colonia Original is more sweet citrus with vetiver, while this one is more bitter citrus with herbs and patchouli. Colonia Original is a cologne, while this one is an eau de parfum.
