The new flagship covers an expanded surface of almost 150 sqm with 5 windows and reflects Acqua di Parma’s most ingrained values: understated elegance, a taste for perfection and unmistakably Italian craftsmanship.

“Since its debut in 1916 in Parma, Italy, Acqua di Parma has become a symbol in the world of excellence and quality: Made in Italy – declares Gabriella Scarpa, President of Acqua di Parma. With this new boutique, we wish to conjure up a special place, an elegant, refined mansion in which our customers can rediscover the style and values of the brand with which they identify themselves. The new Milan boutique is the home of Acqua di Parma, the place that best represents the essence of the brand and which will be the model for further boutiques to be opened worldwide.”

To celebrate the inauguration of the new flagship, Acqua di Parma has created a limited edition of the brand’s iconic fragrance: Colonia, the Italian cologne since 1916 and the Jumbo Cube Candle , an exclusive impressive sculpture of perfume and light : nine kilos of hand-moulded extra pure wax.

The new flagship of Acqua di Parma features the full range of fragrances and beauty products, accessories such as bathrobes, slippers, travel beauty cases, as well as a barber shop, which will be available by advance reservation, starting February 20th.
