A MARVELOUSLY MARBLED COLLECTION

Acqua di Parma returns with its strongest holiday season offering ever, continuing to deliver a beautiful selection of distinctive fragrances for the body and home.

Delightfully precious Florentine wrapping papers made with the marbling technique enliven the entire Acqua di Parma holiday collection this year, with an explosion of colours and lights for a joyful festive season whether you're after a fragrance for the ultimate seasonal home or looking to make a loved one happy with one of the many delectable fragrances and gift sets on offer.

This feast of wonders will unravel in your home as the magic of an artisan workshop animated by traditional Italian craftsmanship comes to life. The entire collection of candles, diffusers and fragrances decorated with prints made with the marbled paper technique demonstrate and bring to life an art that tells the story of time-honoured skills handed down from generation to generation.

The colourful decorations that wrap up the entire collection are the unique and inimitable result of this precious technique of marbling, applied to tactile Florentine papers and adopted for all the products of the collection. Through the colourful shades of an artist’s palette, the Holiday Season collection awakens the senses with exclusive products and an enriched selection with new olfactory experiences for a season that warms the heart and sparks up the holidays.

Acqua di Parma’s unmistakeable trademark yellow, Mediterranean blue and forest green colours welcome the elegant tones of black, red - with its warming and invigorating power - and finally gold - a shade to light up an unforgettable celebration - to create a vibrant and luxurious palette representing the new Holiday Season.

Gift boxes dedicated to Colonie and Blu Mediterrano are joined by new Home Collection candles in a limited edition. Then, along with other special gift ideas from the Barbiere line, you will find the most fascinating Signatures of the Sun fragrances in an exclusive Discovery Set. The collection is completed by the stunning exclusive Advent Calendar, in a special edition rich with surprises to discover day by day.

Italian magic spreads in the air with the three new home fragrances created in a limited edition by Acqua di Parma for a real festival of wonders. Decorated spaces rich in colours, and gifts are ready to welcome your dearest guests to celebrate the most beautiful and warm moment of the year when friends and family come together.

Your table is set with typical holiday desserts, Christmas decorations enliven your home, and the fireplace offers a comforting warmth, and the whole holiday experience is enriched with the new Panettone, Bosco and Magia del Camino candles and diffusers. These new olfactory emotions are literally dressed up for the festive season thanks to the time-honoured paper marbling technique applied to the packaging, bottles and glass holders.

These exclusive pieces are especially made for Acqua di Parma’s Holiday Season collection. Classic yellow tones characterise the Panettone line, while forest green is dedicated to the Bosco products and warm red accents evoke a crackling fire in the Magia del Camino designs.

A delight for the eyes, taste and smell with a fragrance inspired by the wonderful Christmas cake of the Milanese tradition loved all over the world, Panettone is a fragrance that awakens festive memories combining Acqua di Parma’s sun-drenched and citrusy Frutti d’Oro with the irresistible gourmandes notes of vanilla and candied fruits.

Meanwhile, the charming scent of fir trees and the green shades of the pine needles blend with the invigorating freshness of eucalyptus, whilst the contrasting notes of cloves add a touch of warmth in Bosco. The atmosphere of an enchanted forest will enliven the holiday celebrations. Candles are available in the 200g format and the diffusers in the 180ml format exclusively at Harrods.

Completing the exclusive new home collection is the warming Magia del Camino. Creating the perfect atmosphere to bring family and friends together in the living room, Magia del Camino delivers the comforting warmth of a cozy and woody fragrance. A fragrance that crackles like a burning fire, where woody accents are mixed with warm notes of incense and the enveloping touch of amber. This scent is also available in 200g candles and 180ml diffusers, exclusively at John Lewis.

Adding to this year's exclusive offerings, Selfridges are delivering the stunning advent calendar, inspired by the Maison’s iconic hat box and entirely decorated with marbled paper in yellow and gold shades. The calendar marries craftsmanship with design; twenty-five curated windows of wonder contain precious gifts to discover day by day. A wonderful countdown with each window revealing a new gift and

offering an olfactory insight into the universe of the Maison. From the Colonie to Blu Mediterraneo and the precious Signatures of the Sun fragrances to the new Magia del Camino and Bosco 28gr and 70gr scented candles. This is the best way to enjoy everything Acqua di Parma has to offer with the added excitement of surprise.

They will also be offering up the exclusive vibrant Blu Mediterraneo and indulgent Oud Favourites gift sets. With a packaging in marbled paper inspired by the colours of the sea, immerse yourself in the vibrant vitality of the Italian Mediterranean with three gift boxes; Arancia di Capri, Mirto di Panarea and Fico d'Amalfi which each include a 75ml Eau de Toilette, a 40ml Shower Gel and a 50ml Body Lotion.

The Oud Favourites set however delivers a larger 100ml Eau de Parfum and 200ml Shower Gel dedicated to those who love this charismatic, deep and intense fragrance. Indulge in the opulent blend of fresh Italian citrus and olfactory richness of oud.

In contrast, a perfume that radiates an extraordinary light thanks to the encounter between the bittersweet notes of yuzu and Acqua di Parma’s precious Frutti d’Oro, the Yuzu Favourites set which is exclusively available at Harrods features a 100ml Eau de Parfum and 200ml Shower Gel which are dedicated to those who love the radiant notes of this rare fragrance. Finished in luxurious black and gold marbled packaging, this is one of the finest offerings in the collection.

Joining it in the exclusive Harrods selection is an equally fine offering in the Signatures of the Sun Holiday Discovery set. Taking you on a journey through Acqua di Parma’s art of fragrance dedicated to the incredible Signatures of the Sun collection. A gift set consisting of a selection of three 12ml fragrances: Lily of The Valley, Yuzu and Osmanthus. A set also presented in a black marbled box with luxurious touches of gold. The removable inner compartment can take on a second life and be reused in different ways. Inside, you will find Lily of the Valley - the lively and powerful scent of lily of the valley enhanced by vibrant and bright citrus notes in an artistic composition that unravels continuous olfactory discoveries; Yuzu; and Osmanthus - a radiant and sensual fragrance that interprets the precious essence of the osmanthus flower through the luminous prism of Italian citrus.

Completing the gift set selection this season, available nationwide, are Colonia and Colonia Essenza. An explosion of lights and colours wraps up the hat boxes dedicated to Colonia and Colonia Essenza wonderfully presented in boxes with marbled decorations that combine the traditional Christmas nuances of green, red and gold with Acqua di Parma’s trademark radiant yellow. Inside the two gift boxes there is a complete selection of products including a 100ml Eau de Cologne, a 75ml Shower Gel and 50ml Deodorant spray. Additional distinct offerings include three Ritual Sets, refined selections to enjoy moments of profound wellbeing in your daily rituals, dedicated to Colonia, Barbiere and Arancia di Capri. A sophisticated ritual for shaving and self-care inspired by the Barbiere world, with the Refreshing Face Cleanser, the Soft Shaving Cream and the Multi-action Face Cream, all in the convenient 40ml format in a package that, thanks to its removable inner compartments, can be reused. The Barbiere Ritual Set includes the iconic scented notes of Colonia in a 20ml bottle for a more complete experience. A gift designed to pleasantly accompany everyday gestures with two practical formulas. The Hand Soap and Colonia Hand Cream in 300ml formats moisturise and protect the skin with the fragrant touch of Colonia are centre stage in the Colonia Hand Ritual Set, while the Arancia di Capri Hand Ritual Set brings a festive set of rituals for hands inspired by Arancia di Capri and presented in marbled paper packaging in blue shades. An original idea to offer as a present the vibrant breeze of the Italian Mediterranean with Arancia di Capri Hand Soap and Hand Cream in 300ml formats. Two radiant formulas that caress the skin with the sun-drenched and relaxing notes of one of the most beloved Blu Mediterraneo fragrances.

The Party Season “Holiday Glow” Facial

Celluma + Obagi Radiance Peel

In the heart of London’s medical district, award-winning Waterhouse Young Clinic has gained a reputation as one of London’s leading skin clinics. Established in 2012 and one of the first medical aesthetic clinics, they specialise in personalised treatment plans to rejuvenate and restore youthful radiance through clinically proven treatments whilst maintaining natural beauty.

As the name suggests, Waterhouse Young’s iconic 3-in-1 Party Season Holiday Glow Facial is the perfect treatment to get you glowing before any big event. Their exclusive Celluma LED Light Therapy, lymphatic drainage Pressotherapy plus celebrity loved Obagi Radiance Peel is a pain-free treatment offering instant, visible results in just 45minutes with minimal downtime (30 minutes redress post-treatment and dry/flaking skin on day two).

When it comes to refreshing and hydrating skin, HydraFacial is one Waterhouse Young’s most effective treatments and it has been rated the best in London. It’s the perfect way to boost hydration with instant results. The HydraFacial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing and rejuvenating treatment that combines powerful cleansing and exfoliation, as well as unparalleled hydration with additional antioxidant protection.

To maximise the effects of the HydraFacial, the treatment is taken to the next level by ending with the award-winning FDA approved hightech Celluma Pro LED device. LED light therapy works by sending light waves deep into the skin to activate natural intracellular reactions. For best results, an anti-ageing Led light therapy mask is left on for thirty minutes while you relax and enjoy a Pressotherapy treatment. Using three scientifically proven wavelengths of light energy (including blue, red and near infrared) simultaneously, it’s possible to obtain a whole host of benefits including the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement in scarring and hyperpigmentation, promoting circulation, preventing breakouts, and general skin brightening.

In the form of a mechanical massage body suit, Pressotherapy is a cutting-edge, pain free treatment designed to enhance the flow of

your lymphatic system, improve circulation and enhance deep detoxification. This revolutionary process gives your body’s natural functions a boost, kick-starting your circulation to debloat, remove toxins and re-energise the body naturally.

The final step in this 3-in-1 treatment is the celebrity loved Obagi Radiance Peel which is safe and effective and leaves you with an instant, visible glow. A skin peel tackles issues at the cellular level rather than just exfoliating the skin’s top layer. A unique combination of lactic, salicylic and glycolic acids is used to refine pores, reduce acne, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. By effectively exfoliating the uppermost damaged skin layers, the skin is left looking and feeling fresh, renewed and radiant. The result is smoother, tighter and brighter skin.

The treatment is priced at £325 for 1 x Holiday Glow Facial; or £1,625 for a course of 6 (6 for the price of 5).
