Acqua di Parma introduces a new dimension of olfactory depth with the Blu Mediterraneo La Riserva collection, a reimagining of three signature fragrances, Mirto, Arancia, and Fico, now enriched through an extended maceration process. Crafted with precision and patience, the updated formulas undergo a slow two-month transformation, resulting in a more concentrated, velvety character and refined longevity on the skin.
FRAGRANCES
This collection distills the atmosphere of the Mediterranean into more nuanced, layered compositions. Mirto di Panarea La Riserva draws from the wild myrtle and volcanic terrain of Panarea, opening with cedrat essence, sage, and juniper berries. At its heart, a blend of myrtle and lavender softens into the darker richness of myrrh absolute. The dry down, anchored in patchouli, labdanum, and lentiscus, grounds the scent in earthy warmth, reminiscent of wind-swept coastal cliffs.
Arancia di Capri La Riserva captures the citrus glow of Capri, opening with blood orange, mandarin, and petitgrain bigarade essence. Notes of rosemary and Italian basil add aromatic texture, while a mineral accord mimics the saline breeze from the sea. As the scent settles, cedarwood, ambrettolide, and suede accord offer a smoother, warm foundation, balancing brightness with depth.
Completing the trio, Fico di Amalfi La Riserva highlights the fig’s sun-soaked sweetness, interwoven with fig and lemon infusions and a heart of orris concentré. The base features tonka bean absolute, ambrettolide, and orcanox, lending the scent a creamy softness that lingers well beyond first impressions.
Each fragrance is available in 50ml, 100ml, and 180ml formats, presented in Acqua di Parma’s classic bottle design, now bathed in a deeper Mediterranean blue. The collection comes housed in elegant oversized hatboxes, a refined update that amplifies the visual language of luxury. Complementing the eau de parfums are additions to the body line, including Fruttini Citrus Soaps and Mandarino di Sicilia body care, expanding the sensory experience.
With Blu Mediterraneo La Riserva, Acqua di Parma reasserts its mastery of olfactory storytelling,offering a heightened encounter with the scents of Southern Italy through a process that values time, depth, and clarity.
