Colonia Essenza in detail
Colonia Essenza belongs to the Colonia collection of Acqua di Parma, which reworks the 1916 eau de Cologne into woodier, more intense or purer versions. This one remains very citrusy, with a more present base: the house files it among woody citrus scents.
The official pyramid opens with seven citrus and orange-tree notes: lemon, orange, bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit, neroli and petitgrain. The heart gathers rosemary, lily of the valley, a rose accord, a jasmine accord and clove. The base pairs vetiver, patchouli, white musk and amber.
Colonia Essenza suits spring and summer, by day; vetiver and patchouli make it more lasting and more structured than a classic Cologne.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Renaissance by Xerjoff shares mandarin, lemon, bergamot, petitgrain, lily of the valley and rose; the Colonia, also by Acqua di Parma, finds lemon, orange, rose, rosemary and vetiver again; Elysium Pour Homme by Roja Parfums pairs grapefruit, lily of the valley, jasmine and vetiver.
