About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Note di Colonia III is a 2016 unisex oriental from Acqua di Parma, part of a trio celebrating Italian opera. The top is unspecified, but the heart reveals olibanum, vetiver, and jasmine, leading to a base of myrrh, labdanum, and tonka bean. This is a resinous, smoky composition, with amber as the dominant accord, supported by aromatic, fresh spicy, woody, warm spicy, and citrus facets. Collectors who appreciate incense-driven scents like Cardinal or Avignon will find much to admire, though the citrus touch keeps it from feeling purely liturgical. It suits those who want a contemplative, cool-weather fragrance that balances church-like solemnity with a sunlit Mediterranean warmth. The drydown is smooth and balsamic, with tonka bean adding a subtle sweetness to the myrrh and labdanum. Ideal for evening wear or formal occasions, it leans mature and unisex. As a discontinued release, it's a worthy addition for fans of Acqua di Parma's more esoteric offerings.
