What do reviewers say about Acqua di Parma Colonia and Marcelle?
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
This is cologne for people who find most florals overwhelming. The citrus opens confident, almost aggressive, then steps back, letting the neroli and jasmine do the actual work.Marcelle
