What do reviewers say about Acqua di Parma Colonia and Fleurs d'Ombre/Bergamote?
Some fragrances fill a room. Colonia doesn't need to. That's the whole point. Over a century old, this is the Italian argument for restraint, clean enough to wear anywhere.Acqua di Parma Colonia
The citrus either clicks or it doesn't, and for those it clicks with, this is a rare find. Bright opening, unexpected warmth in the heart, powdery finish. Nothing revolutionary.Fleurs d'Ombre/Bergamote
