Acqua di Parma is a cherished emblem of Italian savoir-faire, whose origins date back to 1916. The brand was born out of a small essence laboratory in Parma, where skilled master craftsmen had perfected a new fragrance, the iconic Colonia. This fresh, sophisticated, and elegant fragrance was inspired by the beautiful Italian landscapes and noble Italian arts. Quickly, it garnered a devoted following among Italian gentry and international celebrities.

Over the years, the brand has been handed down from generation to generation, while preserving its unique character and enduring tradition of craftsmanship. In the 1990s, three leading figures in the international world of business and culture - Diego Della Valle, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, and Paolo Borgomanero - joined forces to relaunch the brand. They held the conviction that true luxury is simplicity and authenticity, a philosophy which is reflected in every Acqua di Parma product.

Today, Acqua di Parma remains a symbol of Italian luxury, with its distinctive yellow packaging recognized globally. The brand's product range has expanded beyond fragrance to include an array of exquisite personal and home care items, all embodying the quintessential Italian art of living. Acqua di Parma is a beacon of Italian style and refinement, an institution that preserves and promotes the best of the Italian art of living, contributing significantly to the world of Italian elegance and style.
