Acqua di Parma Colonia C.L.U.B. Eau de Cologne 100ml is the 2022 reimagining of the original 1916 Colonia — fresher, more aromatic, and built for contemporary city life. Where the classic is citrus-aromatic, C.L.U.B. is aromatic woody musk: bergamot and lemon brighten the opening, pink and black pepper add bite, and a heart of shiso (Japanese perilla) and rosemary leads into a clean cedarwood-musk base. Same iconic Art Deco bottle, transparent glass, black cap.

The story behind Colonia C.L.U.B.
"C.L.U.B." reflects Acqua di Parma's vision of friendship, community, and the bond shared with one's inner circle. The shiso note — a peppery-mint Japanese herb rarely seen in mainstream perfumery — anchors the composition's character. The fragrance replaces the discontinued 2015 Colonia Club and represents Acqua di Parma's pivot toward a younger, more contemporary audience while staying within the heritage Colonia line.
Who is this fragrance for?
Colonia C.L.U.B. is unisex but reads slightly more masculine due to the pepper and cedar emphasis. It's ideal for spring and summer daily wear, particularly for those who find the original Colonia too classical and want something brighter and more aromatic. Pairs well with smart casual, business, and warm-evening contexts.

Frequently asked questions
How is Colonia C.L.U.B. different from the original Colonia?
The original Colonia (1916) is a classical citrus-aromatic with lavender, rose and rosemary on a vetiver-sandalwood base. Colonia C.L.U.B. (2022) is a contemporary aromatic-woody-musk featuring shiso, pepper and cedar. They share a brand and bottle silhouette but smell distinctly different.
How long does C.L.U.B. last on the skin?
As an Eau de Cologne, expect 4–6 hours of total wear with the most projection in the first 1–2 hours. The cedarwood-musk base extends longevity slightly compared to the original Colonia.
Is this the same as Colonia Club from 2015?
No. The 2015 Colonia Club (mint, neroli, lavender, vetiver, ambergris) has been discontinued. The current C.L.U.B. (2022) has a different formula built around shiso and pepper rather than mint.
