Even if you aren’t planning to jet off to Capri or Amalfi, there’s still another way you can add some Italian summer flair to the season. For Acqua di Parma, invoking Italian scents is an everyday act, but their newest fragrance collection takes this to another level. Playing off three familiar fragrances, the brand has enriched the scents to unveil its new Blu Mediterranea La Riserva collection. Released in a decadent dark blue shade, this collection stands out from the brand’s traditional lineup with a subtle tone switch. The perfect unisex fragrances for the season, Acqua di Parma transports everyone to the Italian coast with plenty of style.
Exploring Italy with Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterranea La Riserva
Going through an extensive softening process, the new Blu Mediterranea La Riserva collection is a refined version of three of Acqua di Parma’s most iconic fragrances. Each fragrance takes on a new personality that takes users on a trip to Italy that’s smooth and rich. The first in the collection, Mirto di Panarea La Riserva, takes on the personality of the region’s volcanic terrain and decadent myrtle fruit. Top notes of cedrat essence, sage, and juniper berries meet notes of myrtle and lavender for a warm feel. Base notes of patchouli fraction, labdanum absolute, and lentiscus absolute exude the earthy feel of the Panarea.
Arancia di Capri La Riserva exudes a more zesty personality with the help of Italian citrus like blood orange, mandarin, and petitgrain bigarade essence. To soften this scent, a heart of rosemary and Italian basil acts as a counter. A base of cedarwood, ambrettolide, and suede accord gives the fragrance a warmer and woodier touch. Lastly, the Fico di Amalfi La Riserva fragrance gets inspired by the Mediterranean fig with combinations of citrus notes, heart of orris concentré, fig, and lemon infusions. Tonka beans absolute, ambrettolide, and orcanox are a base for a soft and decadent scent. All three fragrances are available in 50ml, 100ml, and 180ml bottles via Acqua di Parma’s webstore, and are delivered in a premium blue hatbox.
