Acqua di Parma unveils a luxurious new collection of its best Spring scent
Buongiorno La Collezione offers five different interpretations of the scent
Quick Summary
Acqua di Parma has unveiled a luxurious new collection to celebrate its Buongiorno scent.
That includes five different interpretations, each with its own theme.
Last year, Italian purveyors of luxurious scent, Acqua di Parma, unveiled Buongiorno. Since I first tested it, the scent has become a staple of my men's fragrance rotation, with a profile which is perfect for spring and summer, retaining the brand's classic DNA while managing to feel new.
Each of the five is conceived as a skin scent, meaning we should be expecting massive silage. Still, at Eau de Parfum strength, they should have a bit of a kick – the original was perfect in that regard, and I'm expecting more of the same here.
Of the five, Buongiorno Al Bacio sounds the most familiar, with a distinctly citrussy profile which is very on brand. Expect top notes of bergamot, rosemary and petitgrain giving way to orange blossom and neroli, with a woody base.
Buongiorno Amore Mio takes on a more floral personality, with ambroxan, hedione and cotton flower. And Buongiorno Dolce Far Niente takes the brand's citrussy signature and leans it towards a traditional green scent.
Buongiorno Gioco del Destino does something similar, but with musky notes, but my pick of the bunch is Buongiorno Buonanotte. That packs in woods across the board, with pink pepper and bergamot on top and just a sliver of musk.
That one sounds like a treat, though all of them should make for nice additions to the collection of anyone who loved the original bottle. Priced at £257 (approx. €295 / US$340 / AU$495) for a 100ml bottle, these are a little more pricey than the original. There's also a gift set available with a 10ml vial of each of the five, which is perfect for experimenting with all of the new scents.
