Acqua Di Parma 110th Anniversary: Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato
A Century of Italian Elegance: Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato
Celebrating 110 Years of Italian Sophistication
In 2026, Acqua di Parma celebrates 110 years of the art of Italian living with the launch of Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato, a limited-edition fragrance crafted from a singular 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be. Founded in 1916 by Baron Carlo Magnani in Parma, the Maison has long embodied a luminous vision of Italian sophistication, where tradition meets contemporary elegance.

"The extraordinary radiance of the Ylang-Ylang inspired me to revisit Colonia in a way that feels even more luminous and precious," explains perfumer Alexis Dadier, the creative mind behind this commemorative edition. The perfume opens with a golden freshness of Italian bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain, and grapefruit, enriched by rosemary, orange leaves absolute, patchouli, and vetiver, creating a citrus-aromatic composition that exemplifies Italian refinement.

For connoisseurs of heritage and modern artistry alike, the Millesimato edition complements Acqua di Parma’s broader Colonia Collection, a world where each object, fragrance, and accessory communicates exceptional craftsmanship and the refined Italian lifestyle.

The 2024 Ylang-Ylang Harvest: Nature Meets Craft
The Ylang-Ylang White harvest of 2024, sourced from Madagascar’s Nosy Be, benefits from a rare convergence of rainfall and gentle warmth, producing unparalleled vibrancy and depth. Expertly distilled over 24 hours and delicately fractionated, the Ylang-Ylang amplifies the vibrancy of the citruses and gives density to the perfume, marrying the richness of nature with the Maison’s masterful craftsmanship.
