Acqua di Parma Colonia Discovery Gift is a trio of 12ml miniatures from the maison's flagship Colonia collection — the perfect introduction to the line and its evolution. The set includes the original 1916 Colonia, the modern Colonia Essenza (a deeper oriental-coded reading), and Colonia C.L.U.B. (a 2022 aromatic-woody-musk interpretation) — letting the wearer compare three distinct sides of the iconic Italian house in one set. About Acqua di Parma Acqua di Parma was founded in 1916 in a small laboratory in Parma's historic centre and remains entirely Italian-made — now under the LVMH group. The Colonia collection traces a century of Italian fragrance: from the original 1916 cologne (a lighter, fresher alternative to the heavy Germanic colognes of the era) through to modern interpretations that update the DNA for contemporary wear. What's included Colonia EDC 12ml (1916): The original Italian cologne. A unisex citrus-aromatic composition built on Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot, lavender, rose, rosemary, vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli. Colonia Essenza EDC 12ml (2010): A more aromatic, intense reading — petitgrain, neroli, citrus and bergamot at the opening; jasmine, white musk, rosemary and clary sage at the heart; mirto, patchouli and vetiver at the base. Colonia C.L.U.B. EDC 12ml (2022): A contemporary aromatic-woody-musk reinterpretation — bergamot, lemon, pink and black pepper; shiso and rosemary; cedarwood and musk. Olfactory family Citrus Aromatic family across all three — interpreted in increasingly modern directions as the line evolves. Who it's for This discovery set suits anyone curious to explore the Acqua di Parma Colonia line — whether as a gift to a fan, an introduction for a new wearer, or a tasting flight for the existing connoisseur. The 12ml format is hand-luggage friendly, useful for travel and warm-weather holidays. How to use the set Spray each fragrance onto a different pulse point — wrist, neck, behind the ear — and compare side by side. The original Colonia is best for traditional citrus-aromatic wear; Essenza for deeper aromatic occasions; C.L.U.B. for more modern, masculine-leaning days. Each 12ml is hand-luggage friendly — useful for travel. Sizes: 3 x 12ml Eau de Cologne miniatures. Presented in a coordinated Acqua di Parma discovery box.
