EDT · 1916 · unisex

Acqua di Parma stands as one of Italy's most storied fragrance houses, founded in 1916 and rooted in the Emilia-Romagna region's tradition of craftsmanship and refinement. The brand has maintained its commitment to quality and understated elegance across more than a century, becoming synonymous with Italian sophistication.

Buongiorno opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin that sets an immediately fresh, morning-appropriate tone. The heart develops into a green-aromatic composition anchored by lavender, coriander, and rosemary, with muguet and tuberose adding a subtle floral dimension without softness. The base settles into a balanced woody-earthy framework of cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver, grounded by patchouli and labdanum for warmth and depth. The overall effect is clean, structured, and distinctly aromatic rather than perfumey.

This is a versatile fragrance that works across seasons and works equally well on all skin types, though it particularly suits those who appreciate green fragrances with backbone and those seeking something office-appropriate yet distinctive. It's best worn during daytime or early evening when its fresh qualities can shine. Buongiorno aligns with The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader profiles.

Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Calabrian Bergamot
Calabrian Bergamot
The gold standard of bergamot, grown in the Calabria region of southern Italy where the unique microclimate produces fruit with exceptional aromatic complexity. Calabrian bergamot has a deeper, more nuanced profile than generic bergamot with a brighter floral facet and more sustained freshness. It is the preferred variety for the finest eau de colognes and tea blends.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Coriander
Coriander
Warm, spicy, and faintly citrusy, coriander seed smells quite different from the green herb, with a dry, woody warmth and a slight floral quality. It adds a spiced, slightly exotic character to masculine fragrances without the sharpness of pepper or the sweetness of vanilla. A supporting spice note that adds complexity.
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Muguet
Muguet
The French name for lily of the valley, and in perfumery 'muguet' often refers to a specific synthetic accord that captures the note's dewy, green-floral character. It's associated with the 1st of May (the French tradition of gifting lily of the valley) and has a clean, optimistic freshness that never goes out of fashion.
Rosemary
Rosemary
Herbal, camphorous, and slightly pine-like, rosemary is a Mediterranean herb with a clean, almost medicinal crispness. It adds freshness and a culinary familiarity to fragrances, grounding more abstract notes in something real. A pillar of classic fougère (fern) fragrances and modern herbal compositions.
Tuberose
Tuberose
One of the most intensely floral natural ingredients in existence, rich, creamy, and almost narcotic in its sweetness. Tuberose is polarizing by design: it's meant to be enveloping, not background. It has rubbery, vanilla-like facets that make it feel both sensual and slightly retro.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cedar
Cedar
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
