By the editors · 2 min readAcqua di Parma Profumo is the house's 1930 original — a floral chypre from an era when oakmoss and labdanum formed the structural backbone of luxury fragrance. It opens on bergamot and ylang-ylang with peony adding brightness; the heart is dense with Bulgarian rose and jasmine over labdanum. The drydown brings sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss together in the dry, mossy finish that defines classical chypre architecture.
This is a historically grounded fragrance that wears with formality and weight. The composition is not nostalgic in affect — it simply reflects what fine perfumery looked like before ozonic and fruity notes redefined the category. Best suited to formal occasions and cooler weather where the structure can assert itself without competition.
