By the editors · 2 min readThe first spray reveals a warm collision: amber resin deepened by patchouli, lifted just enough by citrus to keep it from settling into heaviness. There's an herbal sharpness underneath—likely rosemary or lavender—that gives the sweetness something to push against. As it dries down, the composition grows rounder, the amber turning almost honeyed while woody notes anchor it to skin.
This reads as Acqua di Parma's answer to what amber can be in a Mediterranean context: sunlit rather than nocturnal, approachable rather than dense. It wears closer than their citrus-forward colognes but still maintains a certain lightness. Best suited to someone who wants warmth without weight, or who finds traditional amber fragrances too insistent. Works across seasons, though it finds its natural home in early autumn when air still holds summer's memory.
