A symbol of Italian savoir-faire and refinement embodies, discreet luxury through its elegant fragrances and lifestyle products.
We are in 1916 when the Italian baron Carlo Magnani travels the epicenters of culture – Paris, London, New York. And this is the moment when he decides to create a fragrance destined for timeless success: Colonia. Fresh and modern which reflects the expression of Italian gentlemen style.
In the 1950s, Colonia attained international success, when Hollywood actors, invited to Italy by the great masters of Italian cinema, discovered its intimate and refined notes in the historic bespoke tailors’ shops. Today, Acqua di Parma is a leading player on the luxury market, thanks to the production of a series of true masterpieces of traditional Italian craftsmanship.
Icon:

A sensual clarity which unlocks memories and makes every moment intense. The result is claim of refinement and style; a fragrance this simple is a fragrance for life.
