About The Product:
Acqua di Parma Colonia by Acqua di Parma is a citrus fragrance for women and men.
This elegant and timeless scent is well-loved, and enduring. This iconic fragrance crafted from sunny Sicilian citrus fruits is a fresh embodiment of the traditions of Italy.
At the beginning, Acqua di Parma was used to perfume gentlemen's handkerchiefs. Colonia became a real symbol of Italian chic among American and European celebrities in the pre-war (1930's) and post-war (1950's) years. Cary Grant and David Niven, Ava Gardner and Eva Turner, later joined by Audrey Hepburn, were among the passionate admirers of Colonia. From a small factory, Acqua di Parma grew into a prominent house with wide range distribution.
