Acqua di Parma's Essenza di Colonia, from 2010, is a citrus-floral cologne with green and aromatic touches and a light trace of wood and musk. It is the classic fresh Italian style, made a little deeper.

The notes form one blend. Grapefruit, bergamot, mandarin orange and orange give a bright, sparkling citrus, while petitgrain and neroli add the bitter-green, orange-blossom freshness typical of colognes. Rosemary and sage bring a herbal, aromatic edge, cloves a gentle spice, and lily of the valley, jasmine and rose a soft floral heart. Underneath, vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss give an earthy, mossy depth, with musk and amber for a warm finish.

Most wearers report moderate to long lasting wear and a moderate trail. It is voted for summer and spring and mainly for daytime, so it suits warm-weather office wear, travel and smart daytime occasions.
