Italian luxury fragrance house Acqua di Parma, part of LVMH Group, has unveiled its summer home fragrance collection alongside new Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino expressions. They are now available in selected Acqua di Parma stores in global travel retail.
The summer collection is inspired by the Italian Arte di Vivere and offers fragrances, candles, diffusers and resort accessories that capture the scents of a Mediterranean summer.
The collection is captured via a special print by Dorothée Meilichzon. It features a geometric motif that pays tribute to the sea’s serene beauty and the vibrant Italian sunshine. The design features on the bottle cap of the 100ml Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea fragrance and the packaging of the Mirto di Panarea Hand Cream.
Mirto di Panarea combines warm myrtle with basil and sparkling citrus accents of lemon and Calabrian bergamot. It also features sea breeze accents through fresh juniper notes, jasmine and rose. It is available in a 500ml splash bottle.
Notably, the summer collection offers everyday lifestyle products including the Buongiorno picnic basket, a tote bag and a cherry-wood tray. The leather picnic basket is dressed in Acqua di Parma colours and includes the maison’s plates and glasses, Christofle Mood cutlery and a Buongiorno candle.
The tote bag is crafted from natural raffia with a canvas lining, calfskin trims and yellow stitching. It includes three easily detachable charms — a lemon-shaped leather tag, another embossed with Acqua di Parma’s emblem and a scented ceramic tag.
The tray is highlighted with Acqua di Parma’s logo as well as a contour trim and stitches in the maison’s yellow.
Acqua di Parma has also launched refreshed Blu Mediterraneo candles and diffusers in 180g and 200g blue glass jars. The diffusers are available in the scents of Mirto di Panarea, Arancia di Capri and Fico di Amalfi.
Mandarino Di Sicilia and Mandarino Millesimato 2022
Acqua di Parma has extended its popular Blu Mediterraneo range with Mandarino Di Sicilia and Mandarino Millesimato 2022. The two scents pay homage to Castelvetrano in Sicily, where the maison’s mandarin and citrus fields are located. Made with unripe green mandarin oranges, the two scents offer vibrant and green olfactory notes.
Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino di Sicilia is inspired by Sicily’s sun-drenched landscapes. It opens with the invigorating green mandarin, bergamot, lemon and juicy red orange top notes followed by petitgrain and spearmint heart notes with base notes of cedarwood. It is housed in a deep-blue bottle that evokes the transparency of the sea.
The limited-edition Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino Millesimato 2022 is a celebration of the early harvest in October 2022, with only 2,022 bottles produced globally. The Tardivo di Ciaculli mandarins were specifically harvested by hand early in October to capture their vivid, fresh and invigorating profile of juicy and sharp undertones.
The fragrance offers green mandarin, bergamot, lemon and orange top notes, followed by petitgrain and cool spearmint heart notes with base notes of cedarwood and musk. It is housed in a porcelain bottle. ✈
