Acqua di Parma launch Colonia Edizione Murano: A limited edition bottle of its classic fragrance

by Danielle Cooper, 23 February 2007

Acqua di Parma have just announced the release of a limited edition flacon for their 1916 fragrance Colonia Acqua di Parma as worn by stars such as Ava Gardner and David Niven. The new release, called Colonia Edizione Murano, is the same classic fragrance, popular for its fresh Sicilian citrus, roses, lavender, rosemary and oriental wood essences, whilst the art deco style flacon has been given a striking new look.

Working with renowned contemporary artist Giorgio Vigna, Acqua di Parma will release 1,100 hand signed and numbered flacons. Fired in kilns on the Venetian island of Murano, the bottles are hand blown glass and echo the traditional art deco style of the original but now incorporating the contrasting vibrance of the yellow and black Acqua di Parma logo.

The yellow silk lined, black velvet coffret contains the exclusive bottle, adorned with a silver plate at the neck bearing the Acqua di Parma logo and a bakelite cap, and a small funnel for decanting the fragrance. This collector's piece will be available from March.
