This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2012.

Note by note
Count on sunlit lemon-lavender shower gel with crisp herbs from Acqua di Parma Colonia (Cologne, 1916). Buongiorno (Eau de Parfum, 2025) reads like cool citrus herb breeze over clean musk, opening on spearmint and basil and drying down to white musk, amber and cedar leaf. In Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Fico di Amalfi (Eau de Toilette, 2006), expect sunlit grapefruit, lemon, and fig nectar cooling; grapefruit and Italian bergamot up top and fig wood, benzoin and cedarwood underneath.
