The Chinese New Year falls on 12 February 2021, ushering in the Year of the Ox, which in the Chinese Zodiac represents strong, open people with a great sense of friendship. We review the best fragrances for the Chinese New Year below.
1. Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea fragrance
Acqua di Parma celebrates the Chinese New Year with the joyful freshness of Blu Mediterraneo, combining this important event with a special edition of Mirto di Panarea. A fragrance with intense revitalizing power, it whisks you away to a faraway island, blending the scent of the sea with the aromas of Mediterranean scrub. The fragrance opens with the sunny notes of lemon and bergamot, myrtle, and basil. At its heart, the scent of sea breeze meets the floral notes of jasmine and rose in natural harmony with the base of juniper, cedar, mastic, and amber.
A harmonious array of small golden spheres on a red background envelops the packages and distinctive boxes. The bright pattern recalls the berries of golden myrtle, one of the best-loved fruits in the Italian Mediterranean, a luxuriant garden of extracts and aromas that inspire the fragrances in the Blu Mediterraneo line. Such a gift will surely be noted, also thanks to the red cap that distinguishes this edition of the iconic Mirto di Panarea bottle in its unmistakable blue tone.
Acqua di Parma has seen to even the smallest details in this limited edition, reinterpreting it in red and gold in keeping with the most anticipated season in China and countries of the East.
Acqua di Parma creates a graphical interpretation of the Ox, sweet and smiling, to decorate the red and gold tags and an elegant set of red envelopes. Together with the tags and silk ribbon, the envelopes enhance the package and echo the Eastern tradition of giving gifts of money as a wish for prosperity in the New Year. The fragrance is available now exclusively at Selfridges (www.selfridges.com) and priced at £52 for 30ml & £82 for 75ml.
