   |  This is an interesting fragrance that seems to combine the traditional cologne with some type of fougere. The opening is a blast of citrus with some modern elements like cardamom and ginger. The heart and base are fairly similar and composed of spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, sandalwood, and musk. AdP Assoluta is certainly longer lasting that the original, but that is about it.10 November 2009 |
  |  An excellent fragrance made in the style of an eau de cologne. Has surprisingly good longevity for a cologne.27 October 2009 |
  | This one has indeed been knocked around a bit on basenotes. IMO, this rendition of Colonia is good, but not great. It adds sort of a more clean finish to Colonia by adding ingredients such as vetiver. It also is a bit warmer in the drydown. Some spicy notes have been added, perhaps some cardamom and pepper. It does last a bit longer than Colonia, but it is still an EdC. It is a great fragrance, and if you really are interested in Acqua di Parma's Colonias, you should try all three because they are all excellent fragrances. 10 July 2009 |
  | AdP Colonia Assoluta opens with a zesty citrus burst. Not as zesty as the original but what won me over is the warmth of the spicy, floral heart. I'm not sure if it is listed in the ingredients but I get a subtle lavender. This product has impressive longevity for a colone. It evokes a sense of comfort and a certain Mediterranean minimalist eloquence. Such classy freshness, it is an absolute joy to have such an all-weather, any occasion fragrance in my rotation! 10 July 2009 |
 | First, a confession: I absolutely love Acqua di Parma Colonia. In reviewing Assoluta I could compare the two and somehow be disappointed in how Assoluta measures up to Colonia. I don't feel that would be fair though. Assoluta is a good fragrance. Colonia is to me a citrus, rose and herb centered cologne. Assoluta is centered on citrus and cedar. To me Assoluta has a warm character. I certainly feel that one could own both Colonia and Assoluta and enjoy each as sufficiently different fragrances. For me, I will be content with Colonia for now, but give Assoluta a definite thumbs up. 04 July 2009 |
  | I really don't know why so many Basenoters knock this one. Although it's a woodier version of the original, it has better longevity and smells just as great (even though some of the freshness has been lost). I still wish it lasted longer on me, though.
