Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa

Colonia Intensa, the first Eau de Cologne purely for men from Acqua di Parma. With classic and noble ingredients providing the perfect equilibrium between tradition and modernity, Colonia Intensa conveys the determination of a man who pursues his profession with enthusiasm and success. He is refined and cultured, choosing to surround himself with beautiful things. He is naturally spontaneous and charismatic and carries himself with an innate elegance. Discreet yet intense, Colonia Intensa immediately captures the senses with its citrus top notes, middle aromatic tones, and a tactile, luminous, spicy and smoky woody base. With its traditional Parma yellow box and classic bottle, Colonia Intensa is a brand icon; an indisputable pinnacle of Italian luxury.Notes:Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon, Cardamom, Ginger, Mugwort, Neroli, Leather, Cedarwood, Lignum Vitae, Patchouli, Benzoin, Musk.Style:Spontaneous. Refined. Magnetic.

Clean, young, sophisticated
-08.29.12
This is one of my favorite perfumes. I alternate this with Falling in Love and Annick Goutal's Petite Cherie. I'm 37 and it makes me feel young but sophisticated. Light and clean, the scent lasts a long time. I can see why Audrey Hepburn liked it. It is expensive as most great perfumes are but it lasts a long time and little goes far. I use one spritz and walk through it.

Love this frangrance
-05.18.11
Quick Take: sexy, masculine, unique
I stumbled upon this fragrance while vacationing at Disney in a store in epcot. I immediately fell in love with it's masculine and unique scent! Every time I wear it someone approaches me to compliment how I smell or to ask what I have on. This is now one of my staples.

One of the best
-04.21.11
Quick Take: simply excellent
I like to review other people's comments and anyone who mention something bad about this cologne should only smell the aroma inside their own nose. This cologne is soft, gentle and not over power. This is the best of the aqua di parma family.

Too strong
-07.13.10
I tend to like more soft scents and I can usually deal with stronger scents, but this was over the top. The lasting power was great! However, the smell is the only thing I did not like.

Not what I expected
-07.08.10
NOT what I expected. I enjoy light, natural scents such as clean, acua di gio, polo sports, etc, and this one was suggested as well. I returned it the same day. Something along the lines of old lady.

A CLASSIC
-02.23.10
I got this perfume as a gift from a friend of mine. I am female and the idea of a "unisex" cologne always seemed a little unappealing. I didn't want to smell manly. I think a better way to describe it is as classic - it smells ladylike without being too frou frou. I liked it so much that I bought another bottle after I used the one my friend gave me. It is subtle, and although it is not overpowering it does have staying power. Smells more "fresh" than fruity or floral. Great for everyday.

This is a gorgeously haunting, mysterious scent that strikes a perfect balance of spicy and subtly sweet with its bouquet of citrus/woods/leather notes. I totally agree with other reviewers' takes on this as a unisex fragrance. I'm a woman, I wear it, and it suits me beautifully.

NOT BAD
-12.15.09
Quick Take: pleasent
Not bad scent. I don't think I would catagorize it in the woody scents. At least on me it's a bit more florial than woody. Has a really nice after image that is a bit more woody. Has a nice long life and not too loud. It's not John Vavatos but it's still very nice!

Colonia Intensa
-06.23.09
Quick Take: exquisite balanced sexy.
The Three Colonias from Acqua Di Parma cover every possible situation that a man can be in. Colonia is light, floral/citrus/wood/spice. Perfect for a spring or summer day.It is a masculine scent, but has such intense rose and lemon that my best woman friend has taken to wearing it too. Colonia Assoluta is a touch warmer and deeper with more wood/spice/resin/root still with citrus and floral finish notes. Perfect Fall/Winter daytime scent. Colonia Intensa is everything that the first 2 are, with much deeper more intense nighttime auras.. All are sexy. All relate to each other. All express an elegant opulence. All are made with natural essences that last. If you use these colognes in the AM you will still smell delightful in the evening. These colognes are expensive, but are a great value, and you will recieve many, many compliments.

This has a strong scent very much a citrus base. If you like that type of scent you'll love this.
