Olfactory Discovery

Known for using rare and extraordinary ingredients, the travel-inspired Ingredient Collection by Acqua di Parma expands with two new destinations: Milan with Colonia Ebano, and Muscat with Colonia Mirra. The former takes you to cabinet-making workshops in Milan, where dark tones of ebony and other precious woods envelop you in a natural warmth; while the fabled myrrh, said to have a balsamic aroma, steals the spotlight in Colonia Mirra. The citrusy character of the original Colonia is also present in the new fragrances. www.acquadiparma.com
