Il Profumo Cologne
Acqua di Parma presents Il Profumo, an eau de parfum that first appeared in 1916. Its character is bright and polished, opening on a sparkling citrus burst with a clean, slightly bitter edge that feels immediately refreshing.
As it settles, the scent turns aromatic and softly floral, with a lavender heart that gives it a herbal calm rather than sweetness. Beneath this, a woody, faintly spiced base built on vetiver adds depth and a dry, earthy warmth that keeps the fragrance grounded. Gentler sweet notes emerge in the drydown, lending a quiet roundness.
It suits the office, casual outings, and evenings when a crisp, polished signature is wanted. Its moderate projection keeps it close enough for personal enjoyment while still being noticed up close, and it tends to last well into the day. Because it moves easily across the seasons, it works for the freshness of spring and summer as well as the cooler months.
