Acqua di Parma Colonia Eau de Cologne 100ml Samuel Ross Green Limited Edition is a special-edition presentation of the maison's iconic 1916 Colonia — the original Italian cologne that defined modern Italian chic. The fragrance is unchanged: a sparkling citrus-aromatic composition built on Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot and sweet orange, with a lavender-rose-rosemary heart and a vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli base. The Samuel Ross limited edition reimagines the iconic yellow Colonia flacon in a striking green, designed by the British contemporary artist and A-COLD-WALL* founder.
About Acqua di Parma
Acqua di Parma was founded in 1916 in a small laboratory in Parma's historic centre and remains entirely Italian-made — now under the LVMH group. The maison's Original Colonia has been in continuous production for over a century, with celebrated wearers including Cary Grant, David Niven, Ava Gardner and Audrey Hepburn. The Samuel Ross Green Limited Edition pays tribute to the brand's heritage while introducing a contemporary collectable design.

Who it's for
Colonia is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to refined classical citrus-aromatic colognes over heavy oriental or sweet gourmand styles. It is at its best in spring and summer for daytime wear, holiday packing and warm-weather travel — though wearable year-round. The limited-edition packaging will appeal especially to collectors of Acqua di Parma, fans of Samuel Ross / A-COLD-WALL*, and anyone drawn to design-led collaborations.
How to use
- Spray generously onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears and inner elbow.
- Two to three sprays of an EDC is plenty; reapplication during the day is part of the traditional eau de cologne ritual, which sits lighter on the skin than EDP concentrations.
- For a longer scent trail, mist lightly onto a cotton shirt or linen jacket.
Size: 100ml limited edition. Presented in Acqua di Parma's iconic Art Deco-style flacon, reimagined in a striking green colourway by artist Samuel Ross. A collectable for fans of design-led perfumery.
