Don't even get us started about how much we love Acqua Di Parma. A flash of that famous yellow packaging under the Christmas tree and you'll know you've struck grooming gold!

Acqua di Parma's Colonia Essenza fragrance has expanded to include a face and body line. Three new products; shampoo and shower gel, face emulsion and deodorant spray offers those addicted to this scent, further indulgence. The tuxedoed Colonia of Acqua di Parma packaging looks super-chic in any bathroom.

Fingers crossed for an Indian Summer but if the weather doesn't work out, you can always smell the part with this gorgeous citrus scent from Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo.

A recent visit to the Principe hotel in Milan had us in a lather about the products in the bathroom. Acqua Di Parma's zingy yellow treats helped us rediscover the classic Colonia fragrance. First produced in 1916, Colonia's main ingredients, citrus fruit from Sicily, lavender, bergamot, verbena, and Bulgarian rose encapsulate everything you think about Italy and the Mediterranean sunshine.

Fragrance isn't just about perfume or eau de toilette, a shower gel allows you to combine the scent with the refreshing sensation of the shower; a double burst of memory and escapism leaving you feeling like you've just opened the window onto the Italian Riviera rather than damp, drizzly Britain.
