Acqua di Parma Luce di Rosa Eau de Parfum 180ml is part of the brand's prestige Signatures of the Sun collection — a 2024 unisex floral-woody-musk built around the brightness of a sun-warmed rose. Composed by Alexandra Carlin, the fragrance opens with pink pepper, bergamot, black pepper, mandarin and cardamom; a heart of Bulgarian rose and geranium provides the floral centre; and a base of guaiac wood, vetiver, musk and cedar gives the scent its long, sophisticated trail. The 180ml format is the line's largest bottle, and a generous flacon for everyday wear.
About Acqua di Parma
Acqua di Parma began in 1916 as a small Parma laboratory perfuming gentlemen's handkerchiefs, and grew into one of Italy's most recognised heritage fragrance houses. The brand became part of LVMH in 2001 and has since extended its catalogue beyond the original yellow-box Colonia into more contemporary lines — Blu Mediterraneo, Note di Colonia, and the prestige Signatures of the Sun, of which Luce di Rosa is the most recent rose-led addition.

The story behind Luce di Rosa
Signatures of the Sun is Acqua di Parma's prestige collection, conceived around the warmth and intensity of midday Mediterranean sunlight. Luce di Rosa — "light of the rose" — captures the radiance of a Bulgarian rose under sun, paired with the slightly cool, peppery bite of pink and black pepper. The composition is designed to feel transparent rather than dense, modern rather than vintage. The bottle takes the line's signature cylindrical glass silhouette in a soft rose-tinted finish.
Who it's for
Luce di Rosa is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to refined, contemporary rose fragrances with a peppery, slightly spicy character — wearers of fragrances like Maison Francis Kurkdjian À la Rose, Le Labo Rose 31, or Frédéric Malle Lipstick Rose, who appreciate a polished Italian alternative. Best year-round, ideal for office, dinner and special-occasion wear.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for longer evening wear.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity, particularly on dry skin.
