Description

Our Aquae Coloniae Essentia oil is an ideal "olfactory summa" to bring us back to the fresh sensation of the Eau de Cologne perfume in its most pleasant and classic variants: a lively, citrusy, floral and dry note with a herbaceous and slightly balsamic undertone, tenacious, of a truly masculine nature. It is obviously a concentrated essence, therefore completely free of the alcohol widely present in every cologne.
Our exclusive 13.5 ml. (0.46 fl. oz.) bottle in special transparent neutral glass enhances the chromatic properties of the various oils: each is visible in its natural color, completely unique like the scent it releases. Each bottle is equipped with a special heat-shrinkable transparent polymer seal to guarantee (in accordance with the regulations) its tamper-proof nature.

Affinity

Aquae coloniae essentia harmonizes perfectly with citrus notes and talc notes in general.

Uses

Aquae Coloniae Essentia is used in perfumery, to flavor men's shaving and bath products, and even in soap making. It
is also excellent as a fragrance in any type of cosmetic.

History

Ara Ubiorum was the name of the ancient Roman settlement at the origin of the only city in the world whose modern toponym is inextricably linked to perfumery: we are naturally referring to the German city of Cologne and its "water". Who, in fact, has never heard the expression "Eau de Cologne "?
We can say with certainty that, perhaps with only approximate knowledge, everyone today associates this name with some perfumed lotion, while we could assert with equal certainty that far fewer people know the reason for its creation, linked to the creation of an Italian who lived between the 17th and 18th centuries: the Piedmontese Giovanni Paolo Feminis who moved to Germany at the age of thirty (where he also obtained citizenship) and settled in Cologne (Köln). His fragrance, with its fruity notes, vaguely balsamic but, above all, very fresh, represented a true innovation at the time; At that time, in fact, perfumery was dominated solely by heavy (or "low") notes such as jasmine, myrrh, patchouli, etc.; Originally called "Aqua mirabilis
" in Latin, in less than a century this generic term became a sort of hypernym used to refer to all alcoholic and non-alcoholic waters, ranging from medicinal waters (such as lemon balm spirits or brandies) to homeopathic tinctures, and finally to "Eau de Cologne" (Water of Cologne), "Eau de Parfum" (Perfume), "Aftershave" and facial cleansing waters. The popularity of the new perfume, which spread across the old continent under the well-known French name "Eau de Cologne", gave rise to fierce competition and even countless disputes, both to protect the name and/or trademark and to prevent imitations. It is therefore easy to understand how his "recipe" (including its variations) immediately became an object of absolute secrecy.
