A subtle affinity of language brings music and perfume closer together. A similar evocative power, impalpable and profound. Aerial and invisible the olfactory notes, like the sounds of a symphony, vibrate in space and in the soul, multiplying emotions.

Acqua di Parma honors its origins by becoming partner of Parma 2020. Vital center of theater and music, visual arts and architecture, Parma is named the next Italian Capital of Culture. In the city of Giuseppe Verdi and Arturo Toscanini, where on the occasion of Parma 2020 there is a fascinating Museum of Perfume, Acqua di Parma begins its history over a hundred years ago. Right from the name, the Maison reveals the deep connection with its city of origin. It was 1916 when Baron Carlo Magnani, cultured and refined heir of one of the oldest families in Parma, created a perfume for himself a fresh and modern fragrance that reflects his Italian gentleman style.

Colonia Acqua di Parma is born, a new classic destined for timeless success. The unmistakable composition of this Eau de Cologne captures the Italian sun with its Golden Fruits - lemon, bergamot and orange - carefully selected and still hand distilled today.

The olfactory pyramid recalls the structure of the orchestra. At the opening is the whole section of the violins to spread in the air with the sparkling notes of Italian citrus fruits. A cheerful waltz of lemon and bergamot from Calabria, marked by the lively and light rhythm of pink pepper. It is the prelude to the rapid entry of the heart notes. As in a crescendo of woodwinds and clarinets together with the tenor's voice, the contrast between the vibrant spirit of ginger and the fresh aromatic tones of juniper creates a real sensorial explosion. A few moments and the song fades into a whisper when the Duke leaves the stage. The volume becomes lower and softer revealing the amber notes of sandalwood and cedar, which give persistence to the fragrance like music which, at the end, still remains suspended in the air. A powerful composition full of character.

Since the 1930s, Cologne has been contained in the Art Deco bottle that has become an icon ever since. And since that time the image of the Maison continues to tell the link with the city. The unmistakable and bright Parma yellow of hatboxes and packaging is inspired by the palaces of Parma caressed by the sun. The coat of arms of the brand takes up the ducal coat of arms of the era of Maria Luigia, among the periods of maximum splendor of the city for the arts and culture. Parma is also one of the most important cradles of Italian melodrama, to which Acqua di Parma dedicates the precious Note di Colonia collection. Olfactory compositions that, in a subtle reference between music and perfume, are inspired by some of the most famous works.
