Acqua Di Parma Colonia Assoluta Cologne by Acqua Di Parma, First release in 2003, Acqua di Parma?Colonia Assoluta is a radiant aromatic citrus fragrance that is at once exuberant and utterly refined, designed to be worn by men or women. The top notes are a brisk, invigorating blend of cleansing lemon verbena, elegantly bitter and lightly sour bergamot and a deliciously oscillating pairing of sweet and bitter orange, honeyed yet tart. The heart notes are a kaleidoscopic fusion of complementary?accords, deliciously balanced between creamy yellow and white florals, spice and wood. Narcotic jasmine, rose-tinged pink pepper and rich banana-toned ylang-ylang mingle with pimento, aromatic cardamom and the bitter chocolate and smoke facets of vetiver. The dry down is a satiating synthesis of earthy patchouli, cedarwood and musk, wreathed in the woody, velvety tones of resin and oak moss.
