The radiance of bergamot, the lively notes of grapefruit and blood orange, and the fresh touch of petitgrain come together to create the vibrant accord of Colonia Il Profumo Imagine strolling through Parma at sunset, the city aglow in a deep golden light that highlights every line of its palaces and arches. A contemporary reinterpretation of our iconic, precious fragrance, Colonia Il Profumo is a Eau de Parfum sophisticated fragrance that enhances the vibrant, sun-drenched character of our signature citrus notes through a refined blend of ylang-ylang and patchouli.

As the citrus notes settle in, rosemary rises alongside the ylang-ylang note and a hint of orange blossom absolute, creating a luminous heart that evokes the warmth of the evening. Residents gather in the city center, their silhouettes outlined by the setting sun, as they head out for dinner and the theater, enveloped by that special hour between day and night. Vetiver and patchouli add the final touch of depth—assertive and intense—much like the final moments before the city lights come on—a modern expression of Colonia, shaped by elegance, radiance, and the sweet anticipation of the evening to come.

A contemporary and more intense interpretation of the House’s very first parfum from the House, the iconic Colonia launched in 1916, Colonia Il Profumo captures the vitality of sun-drenched Italy through a refined blend of ylang-ylang and patchouli, which enhances and prolongs the fragrance’s citrus notes. The top notes consist of an exquisite blend of bergamot, grapefruit, blood orange, and petitgrain, offering an initial burst of fresh, sparkling aromas that captivate the senses. At its heart, Colonia Il Profumo the aromatic allure of rosemary unfolds, along with the depth, intensity, and opulence of ylang-ylang, and the unique touch of orange leaf absolute. Ylang-ylang was specifically chosen for its complex notes that enhance the citrus notes and their presence throughout the scent, adding modernity and richness to this timeless classic. The base notes are supported by the sophisticated depth of vetiver oil and patchouli, which lend structure and character to the fragrance. The yellow hue of the parfum evokes the warmth of the Italian sun and the zest of citrus fruits, while the bottle features a gold-tinged base for an intense and powerful visual experience. Show less
