The Italian perfume brand Acqua di Parma was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Surprisingly, even now all fragrances are made according to the same recipes as 100 years ago, eminent masters have never changed the ingredients.
Start of success

At that time, bright representatives of men's fashion preferred complex perfumes of German origin with a rich train. And Italian perfumers surprised the whole world with the natural sound of a refreshing breeze. With the legendary fragrance Colonia, the history of the family brand Aqua di Parma begins, whose perfumes are associated with the elegant world of the aristocracy.

The Second World War did not have the best effect on sales, but after its end, the real heyday of the brand begins.

Since 1993, the family business has been acquired by other owners who have tried to maximize profits by expanding the range.

At the end of the 90s, the brand was revived again: its shares were acquired by the world concern LVMN, and the license for the production of the most famous fragrances was transferred to the no less popular Christian Dior brand.
