Acqua di Parma
Synonymous with Italian elegance and dedication to craftsmanship, Acqua di Parma perfumes, colognes and home fragrances have been exclusively handcrafted in Italy with the highest-quality ingredients since 1916. International success came in the 1930s, when Hollywood legends discovered the fragrance during their travels to Italy and helped establish Acqua di Parma as a symbol of Italian chic.

Use Liberally
What else can be said. This scent is that of a man with a million bucks, who has no desire to offend, or even impress, and who indulges his casual nature with charm and grace. This is a classic...maybe THE classic....scent of an easy-going, traveled man. There is no aggressiveness to it; there is no synthetic note; there is nothing but beautiful unisex florals, and calm, masculine woodiness. In the end, you smell like fine, fine, thrice-milled soap, lavender, sandalwood and bergamot. Never intrusive. Never brash. Never offensive. Never ready to disco til dawn. But never unnoticed and never, ever hated. Women and men both breath deep when you stand there, not needing to do a thing, but clearly you're the guy who could do it if need be. That beer commercial with the most interesting man in the world? He doesn't need a dominating pure vetiver, because his masculinity is never doubted. He wears this, and that's why even nuns and children love him too. It's good.

manly
I dont think this is unisex at all. It is so masculine. I sprayed a little in the Bathroom to try from my small sample I received, the Bathroom now stinks! im actually yet to find a aqua di parma scent that isn't manly but to me they are all the same. Im not a particular sweet or overly feminine scent either but this really isn't for me.

Bella Italia!
When I smell this scent, I am immediately transported back to my ancestral homeland of Italy. Its freshness and hints of citrus bring back memories of Capri, the Amalfi Coast, and Taormina, Sicily. In fact, all regions of this beautiful land. Treat yourself.

elegant classic
This an incredibly beautiful and classically elegant fragrance. It starts of a little strong and citrusy but drys down slowly to subtile perfection of rose and lavender. It's perfect for warm weather and lasted a day and a half on my skin, which in unheard of in today's fragrance world. It can be worn as well by men as women.

Its not just for men :)
This scent is amazing. First discovered when I received an order from Nordstrom's as a tester. The scent is fresh its not over powering and stays on nicely.
I recently quit smoking and friend of mine when he hugged me said "You smell GREAT!" i know it was the Acqua Di Parma! Enjoy
