ACQUA di PARMA


As I walk through any beauty counter, I am always drawn to the Acqua Di Parma concession, and proceed to do what I "always do" give myself a couple of squirts of any fragrance...usually the closest. I absolutely adore the classic cologne, but can't get myself out of my Jo Malone Fragrance Block to actually purchase any (5 years and counting.) Except for the used bottle of Violet a friend passed on. Ok, so scarf and body adequately doused in Acqua di Parma, I loved it! It was light, fresh tangy lemon with hints of lavender...all my favourite scents and for £46 pounds a steal for such a large 180ml bottle...if only I'd paid attention to the small(ish) print..It was their Room Fragrance! In hindsight, you could see how I got confused it is called COLONIA, same as the classic Eau de Cologne but half the price. So, the verdict, the scent evaporated off me by the time I turned the corner, BUT..my scarf still has a beautiful citrus scent, and I have been asked on 2 occasions what fragrance it is..I'll leave you to guess what I said....
