Acqua Di Parma - Note Di Colonia III

Today, I went for a power fragrance. It’s not for everybody, but there are days that it really works for me. I had a major meeting today, and needed to channel some serious power.

Note di Colonia III eau de cologne by Acqua di Parma has an undercurrent of myrhh from the initial spray, which gives the bright green opening a bit of a licorice twist. The heart is a warm, almost burnt citrus (like orange peels in a fire) with a slight hint of rose playing in the background.

While the initial spritz projects, the heart and drydown are more subdued in terms of projection; however, they are there for the long haul with a more moderated projection. Over time, it wanes off to tonka bean and myrhh. The fragrance character sticks with you, but if you like to project, you may need a refresh mid-day.

It’s a bit on the masculine side, but I love to wear it. It’s not something I normally wear in the summer, but I have been wearing a lot of ‘freshies’ lately and wanted a powerful kick of warm earthiness myrhh brings to help boost my mood for that meeting today (which was a success, so that’s pretty cool).

Have a great night, my fragrance friends!
