Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Rarely do I experience a pictorial sensory impression in a fragrance as focused and memorable as here. This is all the more astonishing as I do not consider this monothematic approach to be characteristic of Acqua di Parma and its product portfolio. On the contrary, it is mostly about a lively kaleidoscope of everything that is generally classified as 'Italian': charming and well-dressed signors and signori who cut a fine figure in a summery piazza, if I may be permitted so much green-white-red cliché here.
This one is different. Hardly Italian. Something from the Far East. And a lot 'above the clouds'.
The camellia - originally native to Asia - symbolizes devotion and longing. It grows in partial shade and its fragrance is both fleeting and haunting, with a delicate, almost shy sweetness. And so Acqua di Parma's Camelia is also a fragrant, delicate fragrance full of youth and - and this is where the monothematic mentioned at the beginning comes into play - innocence and purity, located somewhere between elvish princess and childlike empress, as delicate as butterfly wings, ethereally bright and fine.
Conclusion: a fragrance like tissue paper and crane feathers, luminous white, fragrant and delicate. And like a shy knock on heaven's door.
