Timeless classic modernised with light flowers
Another fragrance from Acqua di Parma entered my collection last month. I didn't have the great desire for heavier scents this year, also due to extremely mild temperatures and little winter feeling. So you can start buying summer scents earlier. Especially since Flaconi had a 30% discount. So I bought the 180ml for under 90 Euro. For the size and the high AdP prices a great bargain. A good size as well, because it is a great cologne that can be worn for many purposes.
Acqua di Parma is a brand that I like very much. It simply stands for elegance with Italian flair. A lot of classic, especially through this Colonia range, which started with the classic over 100 years ago. In addition, many modern and new releases followed, including the Blu Meditirraneo series of which I also own 3 fragrances. Maybe one or the other will follow from this brand.
I really like the bottles of this brand. Great glass in a round flacon, with a stylish logo, simple and noble. The Blu range is even more beautiful with blue glass, but here the bottle simply conveys the content: style and elegance I will keep the description of the fragrance short. Gemini is the original from 1916 and you can clearly smell the relationship. Especially the opening with lemon bergamot is quite similar. In my opinion the Colonia Pura smells modern and contemporary over the whole course. This is probably also due to fresh light flowers and a lot of petitgrain, which freshen up the fragrance in a modern way. The original is 100% timeless, but you have to like these classic vintage DNAs and they have to match the style. With this one you can say: It always goes. A great blend of fresh, citric DNA paired with light flowers and tart green notes. The base finishes with slightly woody notes. All in all a round thing from beginning to end. The really big highlights remain, which is nothing unusual with this Cologne concept. Always wearable at warm to hot temperatures, especially in everyday life. Not so suitable for the job if you don't want to spray more often. It lasts 3-4 hours with good sillage, maybe even longer with tender skin. But in summer I like a great refreshment for a few hours. This one is wearable from young to old, from woman and man. The scent type is similar to Artisan Pure by john Varvatos, which is a bit better and also performs much better.
Conclusion: For me a great modernization of an absolute classic. It always works at temperatures from 20 degrees. A fragrance I can recommend, but only if you get offers or have a discount code.
Under the given circumstances, let's hope for a great summer with many possibilities to wear great summer scents. Stay healthy
