Acqua Di Parma 'Blu Mediterraneo'

Based in Italy, Acqua di Parma is almost 100 years old. It began in a small perfume factory in Parma, 'a city of culture and tradition'. Around 1916, all of the most popular men’s fragrances were from Germany. When Acqua di Parma introduced a new scent it became wildly popular because it was less heavy. Around the 30’s and 50’s it became associated with glamour because Hollywood idols like Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were known to wear it. Today, Acqua di Parma has had a resurgence and is still associated with being a classic, luxurious scent. Some of my favorites are from the Blu Mediterraneo line. I have the Capri Orange, which smells so clean and springy. I swear some of these scents can be worn by a guy or a girl! Pick one up for your sweetie…and dream about that Mediterranean vacation that is on all of our horizons.
