Inspired by unique Italian destinations, Acqua di Parma intensifies some of the iconic scents of the Blu Mediterraneo collection.
It’s impossible to think about summer without relating it to the Mediterranean and its scenic spots during this time of the year. Acqua di Parma is celebrating the season with its new Blu Mediterraneo La Riserva collection.
The line is a reinterpretation of the maison’s most celebrated fragrances from the Blu Mediterraneo collection. The new eau de parfums feature multi-nuanced compositions crafted from a two-month maceration process that infuses the fragrances with depth and texture, resulting in full, intense and silky essences.
Mirto di Panarea La Riserva pays homage to the wild myrtle fruit and rugged landscape of Panarea’s volcanic fields. The top notes of cedrat essence, sage and juniper berries provide a refreshing start, followed by a heart of myrtle and lavender essences, deepened by the warmth of myrrh absolute. The base notes, including patchouli fraction, labdanum absolute and lentiscus absolute, create a lasting, earthy warmth.
From the lush landscapes and vibrant atmosphere of Capri comes the Arancia di Capri La Riserva. The top notes of Italian blood orange, mandarin and petitgrain bigarade essence open with a fresh, zesty burst. This is complemented by a heart of aromatic rosemary and Italian basil essences, accented by a salty mineral accord, evoking the sea breeze of Capri. The fragrance settles into a warm base of cedarwood, ambrettolide and a rich suede accord.
Fico di Amalfi La Riserva is a celebration of the Mediterranean fig, combined with the vibrant citrus notes that define the Amalfi Coast. The top notes are a lively blend of Italian mandarin, blood orange, grapefruit and lemon essences, leading to a heart of orris concentré, fig and lemon infusions. The fragrance is rounded out with base notes of tonka bean absolute, ambrettolide and orcanox.
The La Riserva compositions are available in three sizes: 50ml, 100ml and 180ml, with a cap and bottle in a deeper, more intense shade of blue.
