Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Fragrance

Acqua di Parma NEW Blu Mediterraneo Fragrance: from the world of Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo collection, introducing… BERGAMOTTO DI CALABRIA an uplifting, vibrant and sunny new fragrance. Be transported to a natural paradise on the southern shores of Italy’s Calabria region with the newest fragrance from Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo collection.

This new creation, and the sixth installment in the Blu Mediterraneo collection, is a tribute to one of Italy’s most beloved natural ingredients, the Bergamot. A type of citrus fruit, the Bergamot’s natural aroma is both bright an effervescent and has played a supporting role in many of the world’s leading perfumes. Acqua di Parma celebrates this important ingredient with a skilfully-facetted composition rotating around two exceptional Bergamot essences, both of which have been protected by the DOP (Domination of Product Origin) by the Bergamot Consortium of Reggio Calabria (a governing agricultural agency). The other ingredients, just as natural and precious, have been selected one by one to highlight the different nuances of actual Bergamot.

L’Air Du Temps And Nina Ricci Fragrance

 Escape to Paris with L’Air Du Temps And Nina Ricci Fragrance.

With the chill of the wind and the sting of the cold lingering this season, allow yourself to escape. Imagine a place that combines the comfort of classic tradition with the mystery and allure of temptation. Imagine the powerful femininity in Paris, and let Nina Ricci take you there.

Nina Ricci has encapsulated the essence of the Parisian woman in two diverse, yet compatible fragrances. First, with L’Air du Temps. Notes of floral and spice make up the most classic of all scents from Nina Ricci. For the woman who chases love, marvels at the architecture of the Arc de Triomphe, and creates traditions by the Eiffel Tower. L’Air du Temps is for the truly timeless beauty. Nina by Nina Ricci, the more modern fragrance, caries notes of toffee, apple, and moonflower. Nina by Nina Ricci was born to compliment the woman who craves adventure, who follows the night along the The Champs-Elysees, and swears by all that is tres chic.
