Acqua di Parma Colonia Pura Eau de Cologne 50ml is a fresh, modern reading of the iconic 1916 Acqua di Parma Colonia signature — composed by Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 2017 to celebrate the brand's centenary. The composition opens with bright bergamot, petitgrain and orange, develops through a heart of cardamom, neroli and coriander, and settles onto a soft white-musk-cedar-patchouli drydown — a polished, sun-warm modern eau de cologne.
About Acqua di Parma
Founded in Parma in 1916, Acqua di Parma built its reputation on the sunlit, Mediterranean character of its 1916 Colonia eau de cologne — a benchmark of the citrus-aromatic category. Colonia Pura is the brand's modern, slightly slimmer reading of that signature, designed for a contemporary wearer.

Who it's for
Colonia Pura is unisex and suits anyone drawn to fresh, Mediterranean citrus-aromatic fragrances over heavier oriental compositions — those drawn to bergamot, neroli and a soft cedar-patchouli drydown. It is at its best in spring and summer, ideal for daytime, holidays and warm-weather wear.
How to use
- Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- Three to four sprays balance presence and longevity for the eau de cologne concentration.
- Reapply throughout the day for a fuller trail — eau de cologne sits closer to the skin than EDP.
