Wearing this perfume gives me the sensation of summertime in Portofino, Tuscany, and Capri.

      One of my favorite aspects of wearing perfume is its ability to transport you to a specific time and place. My preferred destination is Italy. Each region I’ve explored, from Tuscany to Lake Como, remains etched in my memory, with scents triggering those memories. For me, Acqua di Parma is the fragrance house that best captures these Italian aromas. Established in 1916 in the historic center of Parma, this renowned Italian brand has quietly yet powerfully made its mark in the luxury fragrance world, cherished by beauty editors and fashion insiders alike. What distinguishes Acqua di Parma is its strong connection to Italy's varied landscapes and unique citrus notes. Many of its predominantly citrus fragrances reflect the essence of different Italian locales, from the sun-drenched citrus groves of Capri in Arancia di Capri to the herby Tuscan hills in Buongiorno. It’s more than just perfume; it serves as a passport to Italy’s cherished destinations. These truly rank among my favorite summer fragrances. Although I may not travel to Italy this year, I know I can easily journey there through an Acqua di Parma scent. The only challenge is picking just one to wear. From timeless classics to new releases, I’ve been sampling some of Acqua di Parma's finest perfumes and have shared my impressions below.

      - **Acqua di Parma Fico d'Amalfi (£147)**

      - **Acqua di Parma Buongiorno (£143)**

      - **Acqua di Parma Colonia (£153)**

      1. **Acqua di Parma Arancia Di Capri**

       - **Best summer scent**

       - **Key notes**: Italian sweet orange, Italian mandarin, Italian lemon, petit grain, cardamom, caramel, musk.

       - I can see why this is one of Acqua di Parma's bestsellers. Although I haven’t yet visited Capri, a single spritz transports me there. It captures the essence of biting into a sweet, juicy orange. It’s refreshing and sparkling, immediately conjuring images of a breezy Italian coastline adorned with orange trees. Even though I’m not particularly keen on citrus scents, I’ve become completely enamored with it. The first time I sprayed it, my boyfriend—who usually doesn’t notice new additions to my perfume collection—immediately inquired about the fragrance, and now we both enjoy wearing it. If you love citrus fragrances, you'll surely fall for this one too.

      2. **Acqua di Parma Fico Di Amalfi**

       - **Best fruity perfume**

       - **Key notes**: Italian lemon, Italian bergamot, grapefruit, fig nectar, pink pepper, jasmine petals, fig wood, cedarwood, benzoin.

       - Fico di Amalfi, part of Acqua di Parma's Blue Mediterraneo collection that celebrates Italy's stunning coastlines, was the first scent from the brand that I adored. It’s especially delightful for fig enthusiasts. With its fresh and sparkling nature complemented by the creamy warmth of sun-ripened figs and fig wood, it maintains a breezy, refreshing quality that prevents it from becoming overwhelming in warm weather. It embodies a lazy afternoon with a gentle breeze and dappled sunlight. For me, it’s the ideal summer perfume to evoke the Amalfi Coast.

      3. **Acqua di Parma Buongiorno**

       - **Best aromatic scent**

       - **Key notes**: Lemon, spearmint, rosemary, basil, petitgrain, lavandin, mandarin leaves, cedarwood leaves, amber, white musk.

       - One of the newest scents from Acqua di Parma, Buongiorno is inspired by springtime in the rolling hills of Tuscany. This stunning aromatic fragrance has quickly become a favorite of mine. Imagine stepping out of a sun-soaked villa surrounded by Tuscan hills, with the air filled with the fragrance of rosemary from the herb garden while the dawn light spreads across the scenery. It’s green, invigorating, and somewhat soapy—a refreshing breath of air reminiscent of a tranquil spa retreat, paired with the gentle sway of lemon trees nearby.

      4. **Acqua di Parma Colonia**

       - **Best citrus perfume**

       - **Key notes**: Lemon, sweet orange, Calabrian bergamot, lavender, rose, verbena, rosemary, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli.

       - Colonia may be Acqua di Parma's most iconic fragrance, the first created by the brand in 1916, and is rumored to have been a favorite of Audrey Hepburn. It remains a classic today with its original citrusy
