Colonia Oud

Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud presents a refined and modern interpretation of oud, balancing fresh citrus notes with deep woody and leathery accents. The opening features Calabrian bergamot and a hint of coriander, delivering a bright, citrusy initial burst that quickly evolves into a smooth, layered composition. The oud is not overwhelmingly dominant but is present throughout, mingling with amyris and leather to create a dry, polished, and slightly medicinal aroma reminiscent of aged wood and high-quality leather. The scent is clean and elegant, with subtle sweetness and a powdery musk in the dry down, making it feel soft yet structured. It maintains its presence for a very long time—well beyond a full day—projecting moderately even after the initial burst subsides. Despite its initial sharpness, the fragrance settles into a deeply wearable, well-balanced character that feels luxurious and masculine without being aggressive.
