Colonia Intensa in detail
Acqua di Parma was born in Parma in 1916 with an eau de Cologne, the Colonia, which became the starting point of a whole collection. Colonia Intensa offers a darker, spicier version: the house files it among citrus scents, with leather and wood facets.
The official pyramid opens with Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, cardamom and ginger, a start that is both lively and warm. The heart gathers aromatic myrtle, artemisia and neroli. The base pairs a leather accord, cedarwood, patchouli, benzoin and musk.
Colonia Intensa suits spring and autumn, by day or by night; it keeps the clarity of an eau de Cologne while gaining depth from leather and benzoin.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Elysium Pour Homme by Roja Parfums shares lemon, bergamot, artemisia, cedarwood, benzoin and leather; Isola Blu, also by Roja Parfums, finds lemon, bergamot, patchouli and leather again; Burlington 1819 pairs ginger, patchouli, cedarwood and benzoin.
