Neroli at its best
Yet another unappreciated fragrance from the much too unappreciated house of Acqua del Garda. I like these upper Italians because I find that they deliver high-quality, relaxed, largely niche fragrances without overdoing it price-wise. They're also not exactly overambitious, but unexciting and deliver what's on the box in a very neat way.
This time, no. Actually, should be here Neroli Portofino leggiero or Colonia Essenza light, at least in the fragrance pyramid Neroli should appear in a prominent place. It doesn't, but I smell above all the not exactly new combination of neroli and orange blossom. Like a classic refreshing cloth deluxe.
Colonia Mea is then also quickly described: It begins with a veritable flash of neroli orange blossom freshness, and in the first quarter of an hour to a truly intoxicating extent. Wonderfully imaginable in Italy at temperatures beyond 35 degrees. So not really appropriate in northwest Germany at the moment, but by no means less refreshing. A certain Mediterranean-like woodiness with hints of rosemary and thyme comes in after about half an hour, gives more core, before tonka mellows and softens the whole thing.
Longevity and sillage Colonia Mea delivers in a limited way. It is just a light, summery Eau de Cologne, which wants to be re-sprayed and can due to the moderate price.
Colonia Mea certainly does not deserve an originality award, it certainly does not aspire to. But who is looking for a classic Neroli- Eau de Cologne and especially for financial reasons do not want to Acqua di Parma or in the end still to Tom Ford reach, which should try it with Acqua del Garda.
Although you do not quite get what is in the fragrance pyramid, but that at least at its best.
