I was attending a drag brunch and one of the queens smelled absolutely wonderful. Couldn’t get enough of the fragrance everyone she went by. I messaged her on Instagram and found out this is what she was wearing. I Immediately ordered a bottle. Love the earthy undertones of sandalwood and Cedar wood with top notes of bergamot and orange. The combination is amazing, definitely my new favorite!

This is a very posh oud and I feel good in it, like a tailored suit. While it has great tenacity, my only complaint is that I want it to be stronger. Not that it is weak by any means. I like my oud bold, powerful and almost obnoxious. However, this is “oud” with an Italian twist so it was not intended to be. Acqua di Parma being true to their Italian roots, incorporated Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange, which makes room for a fresh opening. Amyris wood gives it something most oud fragrances do not have. Leather, sandalwood and cedarwood were predictable base notes. Be that as it may, it is a wonderful fusion. Smooth, polished and sophisticated. Acqua di Parma is one of my favorite brands under the Louis Vuitton umbrella.

Beautifully deep scent

This perfume is my go to favourite now. It has so many layers and as it’s oud the scent is very strong. The spice scent works really well in this perfume and it is quite a powerful scent in the perfume as a whole. Scent lasts the whole day but I will say it probably is not for everyone with it being such a strong smell. Worth the price as a little lasts the whole day.

Great smell that lasts and lasts

Firstly I must confess I have a consistent desire to buy aftershaveI had smelt this one having bought from the Aqua DI Parma range before.It smells masculine but also has a sweetness and lasts and lasts.Every time I wear it I receive compliments which is always nice .I do experiment with new smells but shall keep this in my must haves.

Love this!

So, first of all. I hate vanilla and food scents in general. I love bakeries but don’t want to smell like them. So when I got this as a rather generous sample for another Aqua di Parma purchase, I was less than enthused. However this scent has won me over.For me this is a cold weather scent as I find it very heady. It blends well with other perfumes and has been used it to add some layered sweetness to other fragrances. Of all my fragrances my tweens’ though this isn’t your middle school vanilla. This one’s all grown up, rich, well travelled and sophisticated. There’s nothing simple, cloying or cheap about it though it is very truly vanilla.The additional notes make this surprisingly unisex, I could see both men and women pulling this off. However this definitely ... MoreSo, first of all. I hate vanilla and food scents in general. I love bakeries but don’t want to smell like them.

However this definitely has more dressed up vibes and isn’t a casual vanilla scent. Or maybe it is…if sophisticated is your everyday. Great staple from ADP, I will be purchasing the very large bottle for my entire household’s use.

Mature scent

I received a sample of this with a recent order. I would say that this scent feels quite mature and intense. There is a definite warmth and spice to this fragrance and it would not be for everyone. But for those who like heavy, somewhat masculine scents, this is good! Lasts a long time too. I enjoyed using but not sure if I would purchase given the price.

Old fragrance and awful customer support

This is an excellent fragrance; however, you should only buy it from department stores or directly from Aqua Di Parma. The scent sold on FragranceX is Aqua Di Parma; however, it is an extremely old batch and one which holds no scent. Fresh Oud from Aqua Di Parma lasts for DAYS. The fragrance purchased through FragranceX couldn't even last 1 hour.Dealing with FragranceX's customer service is a nightmare in and of itself. The reps are rude and condescending when you call into request a return label and refund as the product is not as advertised. I won't be purchasing from FragranceX as I would rather not support a company that really does not value its customers nor supplying fresh products.

One For The Collection

What I like about this Aqua creation is its subtle nuanced smell of musk, sweet orange with woody tones to my specific nasal perception. It doos linger over the day although there re more powerful scents like the lather, Sandalo and Oud. This scent is in the same stable as the Quercia for my mind but different. If your looking for a thoroughbred scent then the Aqua Dark bottle range take some beating my humble opinion.

Rebrand to God Water

I promise you right now this will change your life. If you're a man of class, elegance and charisma then this is for you, or if you're a man, then look no futher. It's beautiful, every spray makes me feel like I've got the net worth of Elon Musk. I walk past my partner and she gives me the eyes to say 'I don't hate you anymore' - the notes are not overpowering and you can really smell the quality, Oud is my favourite of the bunch but do not stop there, the full range is superb.

purchased at Bluewater John Lewis

I absolutely love this product, but i just wanted to come on here to say a massive thank you to Becky the sales woman on the stand at Acqua Di Parma in Bluewater. She knew everything about every single product, from what ingredients were in the fragrance, to where abouts in the Country it was from. It was an absolute pleasure to have someone so knowledgeable there to help, she is an asset to your team, will definitely, definitely be coming back. It just makes shopping so much more enjoyable when you have someone like that there to help, Thank you
