Buongiorno

Buongiorno in detail

Buongiorno is an eau de parfum by Acqua di Parma, the house founded in Parma in 1916. Its name, "good morning" in Italian, announces a wake-up scent, in a yellow bottle. The house builds it around a co-distillation, in which basil and petitgrain are distilled together, and files it among citrus, aromatic and green scents; Volute files it among citrus fragrances.

The official pyramid opens with lemon, spearmint, rosemary and that co-distillation of basil and petitgrain. The heart gathers lavender and a mandarin leaf accord. The base pairs fresh, camphoraceous cedar leaf oil, an amber accord and white musks.

Buongiorno suits spring and summer, during the day. It is a citrus and herb water that amber and musk carry a little further than a simple eau de Cologne.

Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Colonia Essenza, from the same house, shares lemon, petitgrain, rosemary and musk; Renaissance by Xerjoff brings back lemon, petitgrain and amber; Elysium Pour Homme by Roja Parfums also pairs lemon with lavender.
