Note di Colonia I

normally i dont consider the niche category, i think it's too expensive for a scented water. i have only few from acqua di parma because the testers have a good price. in a local store i found the tester of acqua di parma note di colonia I for a very good price. regarding the scent, note di colonia I is a great freshie tipical from the house. it opens with bergamot and neroli, then lavender, a soft rose, cedar and a touch of fig(not listed but there's something similar). this cologne will not rock your world for sure but i have to say it's EXTREMELY well done, the quality of the composition is incredible, so smooth and rounded. it's nothing groundbraking but at the same time it's quite unique, there's nothing really comparable. to me a mix of the original a.d.p. colonia + dior dune can be a good picture of what note I is. a joyful, refined edc that make u feel on holiday, next to the amalfi coast in a sunny day. not whorty for the retail price but if u find a tester for less than 90euro like me grab it, im happy to have it without spending crazy money. for 25 and up, for spring, summer and early fall. casual and formal situations. performance just ok, better in longevity than sillage. it's unisex but to me it's more masculine. nice heavy glass as well, one of the heaviest i ever had. normalmente non considero la categoria di nicchia, non mi va di vendere gli organi per odorare bene per due ore...comunque, ho trovato in un negozio il tester di acqua di parma note di colonia I per un ottimo prezzo, così ne ho approfittato. colonia fresca con bergamotto, lavanda, rosa e cedro. non è niente di sconvolgente ma sicuramente ha un odore buonissimo e la raffinatezza e la qualità con cui è fatto è dannatamente evidente. pur non essendo sconvolgente, è difficile trovare un esatto termine di paragone. diciamo che un mix della colonia adp originale + dior dune può dare una vaga idea. performance normale, unisex ma seconde me più maschile. a prezzo intero è follia, per meno di 100euro un affarone. scent-9 longevity- 7,5 sillage-7 uniqueness-8 presentation-7,5 versatility-8 back up bottle?no compliment factor-7,5 my vote-8,5 in one word- mediterraneo alternative- adp colonia, dior dune pour homme. adp fico di amalfi.

The opening is clean, bright, and very pure. Fresh citrus with a soft elegant touch. From the first spray it feels different, very refined and calm. I don’t see it similar to typical colognes. It has that Acqua di Parma DNA, but on another level. More depth, more clarity, more presence. Performance is modest as expected from this type. Around 3 to 4 hours on skin, and on clothes it can last much longer. It becomes a skin scent fairly quickly. No issue with the scent at all. This is one of those fragrances where you accept the performance because the smell is just too good. Very clean, very smooth, very classy. For me it feels like how a perfect clean scent should be. I’d recommend it if you appreciate purity and classic style. Perfect for daytime, especially in heat. You’ll need to reapply, but it’s worth it. Spray freely, it won’t overwhelm. Smell: 10/10 Longevity: ~3–4 hours (skin), longer on clothes Sillage: soft Seasons: All seasons (especially Summer) Age: 30+ Main accord: citrus, fresh, clean, aromatic, slightly musky ——- Edit: 5 April 26 I wrote my review year and wore this again today as I remembered how beautiful this was It performed way better on skin ... around 9 hrs and I can still feel it

This has surpassed all my high expectations. It's extremely beautiful, especially for a cologne. The florals are absolutely amazing, and the citruses are not overwhelming like in other colognes. It's the first citrus-based fragrance that projects mostly florals, from all that I've tested. The florals do make it slightly feminine, so this is not the cologne that you'd want to pair with a leather jacket. The only two drawbacks are the weak performance and the price. Despite this, I will definitely add this to my collection. It's absolutely beautiful. I usually take into account performance when I rate fragrances, but this one still gets a 10/10 simply because the smell is from a completely different league. later note: in time it got a rating of 11/10 (yes, eleven out of ten), right up there with the only other fragrance that really rocked my world (or nose) - LV Imagination. What's funny is that even though I got a bottle at a discount, it's still my most expensive purchase.

This fragrance is absolutely amazing. The performance is not that good (it is discreet and does not last a very long time) but the smell is incredibly refined and luxurious. If you plan to smell like a billion dollars in a quiet luxury way for 2-3 hours, this is the scent for you.

Sampled it today it comes in a 180 ml bottle . very expensive for a skin scent !But a gorgeous skin scent made of beautiful ingredients especially the Damascus rose. Suitable for collectors of luxury perfumes not afraid of Paying extra $ :)
