EAU DE PARFUM

Colonia

colonia il profumo

As the citrus begins to settle, rosemary rises with the volume of ylang ylang and the nuance of orange leaves absolute, creating a luminous heart that carries the warmth of the evening. People gather in the centre of town, their silhouettes outlined by the fading sun as they move toward dinner and the theatre, wrapped in that unmistakable hour between day and night. Vetiver and patchouli bring the final depth, steady and enduring, like the last moments before the city’s lights take over — a modern expression of Colonia shaped by elegance, radiance, and the quiet anticipation of an evening ahead. A modern and intensified interpretation of the Maison’s first ever fragrance, the iconic Colonia, originally launched in 1916, Colonia Il Profumo draws from the golden radiance of the Italian sun with a refined blend of ylang ylang and patchouli, which enhance and prolong the citrus notes throughout the fragrance. The top notes feature an exquisite blend of bergamot, grapefruit, blood orange, and petitgrain, delivering an initial burst of fresh, zesty aroma that captivates the senses. At its heart, Colonia Il Profumo blooms with the aromatic allure of rosemary, the volume, intensity and opulence of ylang ylang, and the unique touch of orange leaves absolute. Ylang ylang was specifically chosen for its multi-dimensional notes that sublimates the golden fruits and their presence throughout the whole sillage adding modernity and richness to a timeless icon. The base notes are anchored by the sophisticated depth of vetiver oil and patchouli, giving structure and character to the fragrance. The fragrance's yellow hue evokes the warmth of the Italian sun and the zest of citrus fruits, while the bottle features a golden-tinted base for an intense and robust visual experience.
