Colonia - Eau de Cologne

Smells great!!

I was really impressed with this cologne, it smells great on my husband and feels so elegant, expensive and clean. I’m really glad he got to try it out since it is now his favorite. I would definitely recommend it!

Most Versitile cologne / Parfume

I received Acqua di Parma Colonia Eau de Cologne free from Influenster for my honest opinion. I try this scent and my son tried it. The scent was sweet smelling, a bit citrusy. My son tried the Aqua di Parma and on him I detected a bit spicy to a bit woodsy. It is like having 2 products in one to me. I would recommend the perfume. It last all day without fading out.

Great smell but doesn’t last. Avoid

Great smell but barely lasts 15 minutes. I appreciate this is a cologne and not EDT or EDT but its lack of longevity is unacceptable. Incredibly expensive waste of money. Avoid

Light cologne

Packaging is beautiful smell is so calming its more like laundry or aromatic oils kind of smell I am not too impress but it’s not bad too you can use it after shower

Snells so good

I love how this scent can be both masculine and feminine. It smells amazing and I'm so happy I was able to receive this product! The bottle is really big and the smell is nice and musky.

Super fresh smelling fragrance, great for Spring

I love how this smells. Very fresh and clean, like a zesty body wash. The performance is not great, about 2 hours max, but you can spray a lot without it getting overwhelming. Highly recommend for Spring and Summer.

Decent

Unique smell. Not something I would wear often smells kind of old but if you’re older this can possibly be a good scent for you just not for a young person

Refreshing

This is the first time I’ve tried anything from Acqua do Parma and I really enjoyed it. The scent is very citrus based. And I usually have an issue with most citrus fragrances smelling like fruit loops and this did not! I feel like I got a good few hours of wear out of it. I like that it’s more on the unisex side of scents so my partner was able to enjoy it as well.

Not For Me

I received the product for free from Influenster and Acqua di Parma in exchange for my honest review. To begin with, I like the packaging since is a striking shade of yellow. However, the bottle itself a distinctive appearance. The bottle is made of clear glass with a black cap which is really unremarkable to me. The unisex cologne was not my favorite scent since it smells like a bar soap to me. I would rather using the bar soap with cheaper price than spending money on this perfume. Not recommended.

Fresh citrus classic 🍋

This isn’t a typical scent that I would try on my own so I was delighted to be gifted this. I typically go for scents that are either floral or woodsy but this was a refreshing twist on a light citrus scent that is timeless, sophisticated, classic and will never go out of style. At first spray, it is extremely bright, uplifting and fresh as a burst of citrus, lemon, orange fills the senses. It does smell of true citrus, not artificial or cleaning product-like. Bergamot, lavender, rosemary and Bulgarian rose round out the citrus and give it a balanced, earthy and floral tone. The warmth of my body chemistry brings out the finishing woodsy notes, with sandalwood and patchouli coming through once dried down on the skin. It is a powdery fresh scent that is unisex so I was excited to have a scent for both my husband & I. It is great for the warmer spring/summer months and does reflect scents of the Italian coast. The bottle mirrors this idea with being simple, modern and refined. It comes in a mustard yellow textured cylindrical box that I love to house it in. The bottle itself is simple, classic and high quality artisanal with its clear glass and printed coat of arms sticker showcasing the yellow fragrance inside. It looks sophisticated and modern amongst my scent collection. This light scent lasts a decent amount (4+ hours), but can be extended if you spray onto clothing. The projection is moderate, as it is more of a close to skin scent but it will give you a slight bubble of scent as you walk past. I would recommend to those looking for a sophisticated, light, powdery citrus unisex scent to use in the warmer months that is very classic and timeless.

Nice but not for me

I received this Acqua di Parma colonia as a free sample. I love the packaging to start. It’s bright yellow and is pretty compact for a full sized cologne which is easy to travel with if needed. I like how it hugs the cologne bottle inside, protecting the bottle well. The bottle itself is a clear bottle with black cap. I didn’t feel like it really had a special look to it, the bottle is pretty plain and doesn’t have a luxurious or unique look. It is your usual spray applicator which worked well. When I tried the cologne, I was on the fence about it. It is branded as unisex and it definitely can be but it was not my favorite scent. It is woody and powdery at the same time. It has citrus hints as well. It almost smells a bit like bar soap. It smells clean but I’m not a big fan of powdery scents so this unfortunately did not work for me. I felt like it would work best for someone who is into more mature scents, whereas I am into lighter scents. As a unisex scent, I still felt it leaned more towards a masculine smell but that is all subjective. For the price point, I think the brand could have done more.

A clean, citrusy choice

I was one of those selected to get a free sample to review (making this incentivized). With that said, after one spray, I had to question if this fragrance is for me. It’s a citrusy, fresh scent that’s reminiscent of something I would smell on my grandpa when I was a kid. By that, I mean it’s a nice scent but something I’d more associate with a slightly older guy. (For some context, I am 22). Considering the elements, it’s a definitely a great summer scent for that demographic though. I may try and experiment with it in the summer or give it to one of my uncles.
