Acqua di Parma Gelsomino a Freddo ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 29 August 2025 4 Comments

Italian niche line Acqua di Parma has introduced Gelsomino a Freddo, a new woody floral addition to the Signatures of the Sun collection.

This Signatures of the Sun fragrance by [perfumer] Daphne Bugey is a sensory celebration of contrasts. The radiant white jasmine notes bring an air of lightness and purity, while smoky undertones of black tea and guaiac wood add depth and intrigue. The dynamics of light notes and irresistible honeyed nuances create a captivating tension, resulting in a bold composition.

Time is the most precious ingredient in this new composition where the name ‘a Freddo’ reflects the rare craftsmanship of the method. Delicate jasmine flowers are layered onto purified shea butter multiple times under the supervision of a master perfumer, ensuring every nuance of the olfactive molecule is captured, preserving the flower’s natural complexity and richness in the resulting jasmine enfleurage essence.

Gelsomino a Freddo opens with a bright burst of Italian lemon, pink pepper, and artemesia notes, before revealing its heart of jasmine enfleurage and orris extract, and black tea essence. The base notes of gaiacwood, cypriol, and patchouli fraction essence anchor the fragrance with warm, woody facets, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and modernity.

The new transparent Signatures of the Sun fragrance bottle showcases the coloured jus and features a redesigned label. It is presented in a new hatbox with updated colour and finish.

Acqua di Parma Gelsomino a Freddo is available in 50, 100 and 180 ml Eau de Parfum.

    I second Aurora, this does sound good, and I will look for a sample. I had a little bottle of the original Aqua de Parma a long time ago circa 1980’s mayber?, but I have no idea what happened to it.
