The brightness of lemon, the fresh touch of orange and Calabrian bergamot, the vibrant sparkle of grapefruit and petitgrain: this is the bold accord of Colonia Essenza. Imagine stepping into the Teatro Regio in Parma. The scent of polished wood, velvet and old sheet music hangs in the air. Refined, confident and distinctive, Colonia Essenza is a woody citrus fragrance that revisits the iconic Colonia with a touch of genuine non-conformity. Presented in a newly redesigned bottle, it is for those whose style comes from within.


As the citrus notes settle, rose and jasmine rise with a soft note of clove, followed by deeper tones of vetiver, patchouli, musk and amber, lending the fragrance a strong and refined presence. You adjust your cufflinks, feel the softness of the wool of your jacket and take your seat as the orchestra tunes up. The lights dim, and the gentle, growing excitement mirrors the evolution of the fragrance: bright, expressive and full of anticipation.


Colonia Essenza is a distinctive fragrance with a fresh character that will appeal to those with an authentic style that comes from within. The fruity notes of Acqua di Parma—lemon, orange and bergamot—blend with notes of grapefruit, mandarin and petitgrain, which melt into a floral, aromatic heart comprising notes of rose, jasmine and a hint of clove. A delicate blend of woody vetiver, soft musk and warm amber enriches its earthy patchouli base. The fragrance is presented in Acqua di Parma’s iconic bottle, a symbol of Art Deco expression. The clear glass lets you appreciate the nuances of Colonia Essenza, while the more classic black cap lends it a touch of understated sophistication. The redesigned minimalist white labels recall the refined aesthetic of Colonia, while the box, characterised by its cylindrical shape, is adorned with our signature bright yellow. Show less
