I can tell you one thing, I don't often receive compliments, far less regarding my scent. As a basic meathead, who spends the majority of his time in a gym or rolling in mud with strangers dogs in random parks, the only comments I get tend to be of the negative variety. However everything changed last week. I had the pleasure of attending the launch of the new Acqua di Parma Pura Colonia. Iv long admired the brand for its simplicity and elegance. While its classic shape remains the same, the new silvery, matt grey elements underscores its clean and pure approach. So what the hell does it smell like? Well, its not a straight forward task explaining - so here are the facts:
Pura combines juicy orange notes, narcissus, jasmine, coriander and grain to produce a light, classic citrus Colonia. The warm and sophisticated accents of patchouli and cedar wood at the base give you musky notes to finish. A hell of a piece of kit and well worth a spray if you get the chance.
