Acqua Di Parma is the best fragrance line. This classic Italian line has such a distinctive fragrance like no other with great staying power. Bought this for my boyfriend, and the smell is just so good. He loves the whole line.

Colonia Essenza is addictive
-10.18.11
I bought this Cologne as my first niche fragrance, after collecting 50+ designer fragrances.The very first time I used it, it smelled like a high quality talcum powder, which kind of punctured my expectations and made me feel as though I was sitting in one of those old Italian hair salons during the 1930's. The middle notes of this fragrance reminded me of sandalwood for some reason as a result i can picture women wearing this fragrance too. However I would like to point out trying to understand this fragrance has made me enjoy it very thoroughly, I am now addicted to it like a junkie to crack, So much so that I don't feel like using my other favourite colognes such as L'nuit d'l homme by YSL or Channel Bleu. In a nutshell an amazing fragrance that I would use as my signature scent.

Great fragrance - possibly unisex
-05.30.11
I bought this for my husband for father's day. I must admit that I sprayed a bit on myself, and I really like it. It is listed everywhere as a man's cologne, but I am wondering if women like to wear it too. I guess that I will have to sneak the occasional spritz of this from my husband's bottle.

Nothing special
-12.26.10
Quick Take: mediocre and expensive!
Despite the fact that Acqua Di Parma is a classic, this cologne was not worth the hefty sum. A citrus cologne is a dime a dozen and this particular, one in its dark and exotic bottle, was a tremendous disappointment!!

Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza Eau De Cologne
-12.03.10
Quick Take: chic, classy, elegant, masculine, refined, urbane
This is a classy, clean, soapy, elegant, and urbane scent. You can wear this from a dinner date to a black tie affair or into the office to a board meeting. A very nice, very refined cologne. It has an air of casual elegance. I highly recommend this cologne...a must buy!

warm notes of classic
-09.22.10
Quick Take: classic warm citrusy, clean and sexy, unisex
This cologne smells warmer than classic and has more staying power. I can smell the amber, neroli, and rosemary and then you get nuances of the vetiver, and the wood scents.My husband and I both enjoy it as well as the classic. I think that if you like the original this is a defininte must have in your acqua di parma collection.
