Acqua di Parma

27 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Acqua di Parma range is made of

74% of the 27 Acqua di Parma fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain bergamot. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Acqua di Parma returns to bergamot more than to anything else — across 27 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads drier than the catalogue as a whole: sweetness averages 0.26 against 0.40 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

The Acqua di Parma range spreads 0.107 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2019, which places this house firmly in the current era of perfumery rather than the archive.
