Acqua di Parma brings back cold enfleurage in new scent

As a new season begins to take force, it’s also time for a switch in fragrances. While many brands will offer some of the traditional fall scents, Acqua di Parma is exploring a unique perfumery technique for its latest release, promising a distinctive scent. Its newest fragrance, “Gelsomino a Freddo,” adds to the brand’s “Signatures of the Sun” collection with a vibrant and bold new scent. Not just showcasing a new fragrance, Acqua di Parma takes to the ancient process of enfluerage to create this brand new scent. Enfleurage is a process that extracts scents from raw materials by immersing them in a fatty substance, taking each ounce of aroma. For this scent, the process entailed 48-hour cycles in which fresh jasmine blossoms were pressed onto purified shea butter. 

Acqua di Parma showcases its talent in a new fragrance

Along with the time-intensive process, the newest Acqua di Parma scent also manages to entice with its bold display. Top notes of Italian lemon, pink pepper, and artemisia add a special zest to the aroma, before unveiling the heart of pure jasmine enfleurage, smoky black tea, and orris concentrate. In its base, the fragrance features guaiac wood, cypriol, and patchouli essence, which rounds out the scent with a warm and embracing characteristic. A playful blend of vibrant scents and grounding notes, Acqua di Parma is an enticing fragrance that showcases the craftsmanship behind its creation. Cased in a new transparent bottle, the fragrance comes in a larger hatbox and features an upgraded label. Along with the fragrance, a new Zafferano Hand and Body Wash, Body Cream, 200-gram candles, and a 180 ml diffuser have also been added to the Signatures of the Sun collection. Although no official date has been given, it’s expected that these additions and the “Gelsomino a Freddo” fragrance will make their appearance soon.

Why ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky Is Dead Wrong About Pedicures — and the Late Kobe Bryant Would Agree 
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

If the name Dan Orlovsky rings a bell, you probably know him for two things. He’s the quarterback who infamously ran out of the back of the end zone in 2008 as a member of the Detroit Lions. The move is considered such a bone-headed move that when Cody Kessler did the same thing in 2016, pundits wrote that Kessler pulled a Dan Orlovsky. The name also might ring a bell because of his takes as an NFL analyst on ESPN.

It turns out that there’s now a third reason why the name rings a bell. Earlier this week, Orlovsky said he’s completely against men getting pedicures. The subject came up after football fans learned that Florida Gators football coach John Sumrall, a no-nonsense tough guy, loves getting pedicures. Orlovsky appeared on Mike Greenberg’s Get Up show and made his feelings known.

The art of the summer scent: Smelling good in the heat with an expert
Person spraying cologne on their neck

I am a fan of a good scent. I write about cologne all the time and became a little obsessed with stacking fragrances and diving deep into the notes that build all my favorite scents. The top notes you smell right away, the heart notes that form the core of the fragrance, and the base notes that stick around the longest. As a matter of fact, Kevin Keller, co-founder of Fulton & Roark is who sent me down the obsessed path when he introduced me to the concept of stacking colognes a few years ago when I interviewed him for a different article on how to select the right cologne. So, now that summer is in full swing, I have been a little focused on what makes up a summer scent and how to keep it strong in the heat and humidity. So I reached out to Kevin and he hit me with some knowledge.

I don’t believe in hard seasonal rules. Fragrance is personal. If you love a dark, smoky scent, you should wear it, even in July. You might just want to go a touch lighter than you would in the winter months. – Kevin Keller, Co-Founder, Fulton & Roark

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming
Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country’s 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men’s grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That’s what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. – Dean Bell
