Carlos, my favorite thing about this video is you. That's why I watch, that's why we all watch. We could get notes and complement factors from 12 dozen other reviewers but there is only one BFL.
You’re still the only one who consistently gives back to your subscribers and the community. Always enjoy your content; thanks for continuing to spread the love, Mr. Powell.
Thanks Carlos! My favorite part was learning how old this fragrance house is & that Essenza is a reworking of the original Colonia from 1916. I had no idea that this was based on a classic fragrance & that AdP was that old & carried so much tradition. Thank you for the enlightenment!
Colonia Essenza sounds like the perfect Florida heat fragrance. I would love the bottle as am always looking for a freshie that blooms so beautifully in the horrible weather here. So generous for you to offer it!
I probably enjoyed your enthusiasm the most! It made me really want to try this one. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the chance to try any Acqua di Parma’s yet. But, I hear good things! Thanks!
Great review Carlos, Yes this Is truly an excellent fragrance and it’s so versatile you can wear it pretty much anywhere and all seasons, a true gentleman would wear this and it’s one of the few fragrances that I’ve got through a bottle and had to repurchase.
Watching this review brings back memories years back of when my uncle came over from Portugal for a visit. He was wearing this. Thank you Carlos for the trip down memory lane
Love that you mentioned how it opens up outside. That's EXACTLY how I would describe it on me Carlos. Might have something to do with the humidity like with the Varvatos fragrances, but either way, it really changes the complexity.
Don't beat yourself up too hard. The important thing is you brought it to us. I had my eyes on this one for a while but never pulled the trigger. Would love to win.
I loved this video because I have been collecting fragrances more in the last 2 years in the designer realm and have considered entering the niche side and making this fragrance my first niche in my collection as it isn't priced too high, keep up the good work BFL
From your videos, I can tell how much you love perfumery. The short and sweet videos are nice for when I want to get to the essence of a release, but I also like the ones where you take a bit more time. And again, thank you for doing giveaways!
Nice review! Funny that you're blushing when talking about Essenza. I've sampled it a few times, and have a hard time picking out the notes. I just know it has a great blend of citrus and florals. Would love to get that 50ml bottle!
Carlos, great review of Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza. I can really see how passionate you are about this fragrance which I love to see. It sounds like a beautiful bright fresh fragrance perfect for this time of year. It is interesting how you experience the citruses indoors in the a/c and the florals outdoors when it is hot out.
Just ordered a 100ml tonight, i was looking around like crazy to find the perfect summer fragrance, i think i mght have finally found it, i smelled most of the acqua di parma line but liked this one the most but had no room on my arms or wrist to spray it to test it on my skin. I just read many positive reviews about its longevity as well and now watched your video and think ive made the right decision. Now, lets see how it performs in high humidity and 35+ degrees celcius...
I love watching your videos. I’m a beginner when it comes to fragrances and you’ve really opened my eyes to fragrances. This seems like a perfect fragrance to really kick start collecting!
Have been considering Colonia Essenza for my summer lineup but would prefer to sample it's performance first. Bergamot + Neroli is a winning combination for the heat.
This sounds like a summer nights winner. Dressed up type fragrance. Great review Los. Like the fact that you review older releases as well as new releases.
Thanks BFL for making me take a second look at this house- I found with some others in the line (notably Colonia Leather), doesn’t last as long as I’d like. I was able to sample this at Epcot a few months back and will take another look at it. Cheers from Florida!
I really appreciate you putting out this video. I’ve been considering blind buying Essenza for a while now, so it’s great to get your thoughts on this fragrance. Keep putting out the amazing content!
Carlos, I truly love the joyful enthusiasm that you express in this video! I always enjoy your reviews, not only because they are thorough and thoughtful, but also because you project such goodwill and joie de vivre. I have never had the privilege of smelling this fragrance, but the notes hit all the right bells for me - sounds wonderful.
Thanks for reviewing this one; it's been on my "must try" list for a long time. I'd be *stoked* to win your half bottle; thank you for offering it as a giveaway!
I just noticed a comment I left when you first released this review and I have no idea why I waited so damn long to get my nose on this one. Ordered from Maxaroma and it arrived today. What a gorgeous fragrance, exactly as you described. My first purchase from this house but definitely not my last. Going to try out their Oud fragrance next. Plus their Italian, fugedaboutit!!!!!!!!!
I bought a 5ml decant of this a few weeks ago. Such a beautiful scent. Honestly no wonder why you’ve never covered this on because it smells unlike a cologne. Smells like you’ve been bathed in heavenly water. Great video
Im really enjoying the Acqua Di Parma house! Im getting this fragrance when given an opportunity.. thanx for the review!.. I also wanted also to thank you for the Creed Aventus Cologne sample that I received today! Thank You Brotha Carlos😁🤔🤗 ...
I loved your gushing review of this one Carlos! I've only smelled this on a blotter, and apparently need to experience it fully. I love your passion about this stunning fragrance! Stay blessed.
I love Aqua di Parma. Im always confused on the Esdenzas, the Absolutes, Pura, etc. If you love it....now I know which ones next. Good prices on MA actually. Fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing Carlos. AS YOU ALWAYS DO
I enjoyed learning about a citrus fragrance that if you love, I need to try out :) . I'm yet to aquire a citrus in my life. Sound's fantastic for the 🇦🇺 summer closer to Christmas.
Morning Los, this is on my short list to buy soon. Ive heard great things about Colonia Essenza. Hearing that it's a big thumbs up from you is awesome. I really enjoyed Your enthusiasm towards this and thr info about how the snell reacts differently indoor vs out. Thx again for the content brother!
This sounds great especially for this time of year. I own the Colinia Oud from AdP and love it, but never looked into this house any further. Would love to give this one a try. Thank you again for the opportunity and great review!

Always good to see a reviewer completely enjoying his work

Everytime I see you my mood is lifted up ! Thanks man, love from Turkey .
Can’t believe he’s no longer with us Rest In Peace Carlos.
Glad you talk about a perfume you like that much. I didn't know about it. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity as well! 😍💜
Beautiful fresh scent and my office fragrance for the spring/summer. Classy, sophisticated and elegant. Enjoyed hearing your take on it Carlos
Always enjoy your shirt and sweat takes on fragrances, and have time to spare to see fragrance videos in my busy life.
This is a perfect Summer fragrance. I love that the florals bloom with the warmth of the sun😀
A 5 min long review, what more can a modern man living in a fast paced world ask for :) Great video Carlos, count me in for that giveaway!
I tried Essenza a few months ago and absolutely love it! Always enjoy your reviews. Thanks for the opportunity, Carlos!
I probably enjoyed your enthusiasm the most! It made me really want to try this one. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the chance to try any Acqua di Parma’s yet. But, I hear good things! Thanks!
This is a masterpiece of a fragrance. I could smell like this everyday....sophisticated and clean is how this will make you feel.
I love it too. I'm so glad you got around to reviewing it. Thanks!

Never tried this fragrance, but have heard nothing but good things about this house. Looking forward to trying it!
Still the very best UA-cam channel intro ever, but sadly set forever 😢 We miss you Carlos. May Our God be with you and bless you x
Great video. Probably the most excited I've seen you get over one of your favorite fragrances. Shows how passionate you are about them.
I absolutely LOVE that fragrance house and particular scent.SO Italian and classy.
From your videos, I can tell how much you love perfumery. The short and sweet videos are nice for when I want to get to the essence of a release, but I also like the ones where you take a bit more time. And again, thank you for doing giveaways!

Thanks for the great review! I love your reviews. They’re always quick, informative, and straight to the point.
Always honest about what he reviews. Well done Carlos
Love the fact that it ‘blooms’ when you’re outside in the heat. Must try!

This has always been one of my favorite fragrance houses. They do all of their fragrances superbly. Great video, Carlos - put a smile on my face.
Have been considering Colonia Essenza for my summer lineup but would prefer to sample it's performance first. Bergamot + Neroli is a winning combination for the heat.
Glad to finally hear ur thoughts on this one! Been considering colonia essenza for a while now
Short & sweet just like you always do!!! Keep the reviews coming,
It's cool how the composition changes as you walk outside and as you sweat!
This sounds like a summer nights winner. Dressed up type fragrance. Great review Los. Like the fact that you review older releases as well as new releases.

Tarde pero seguro. This fragrance sounds great with a lot of citrus notes. Thanks for always keeping it 100 and creating short, informative videos.
Love that you seem to truly enjoy the fragrance! Thanks for the review!
Don’t think I’ve tried this one, but your review makes me want to. Thanks for sharing Carlos!

Nice review Carlos. Always enjoy to see get excited with something you like. Makes me really curious about the that scent.
Nice review Carlos!... will have to check this out.
Always great to hear your thoughts about fragrances. This was long overdue, but still welcome 😊 Curious about your thoughts of other AdP fragrances.

Great Video BFL! Love Aqua di Palma! Thanks bro ✊🏿
I've heard a lot about this one but have not tried it yet. Thanks for your review and your gracious giveaway opportunity.
Love when you come back to some of the older releases like this.
I bought a 5ml decant of this a few weeks ago. Such a beautiful scent. Honestly no wonder why you’ve never covered this on because it smells unlike a cologne. Smells like you’ve been bathed in heavenly water. Great video

I loved your gushing review of this one Carlos! I've only smelled this on a blotter, and apparently need to experience it fully. I love your passion about this stunning fragrance! Stay blessed.
Thanks Carlos. I enjoyed learning about the original being used to scent men's handkerchiefs.
One of my favorites has been Colonia and I need to expand my list to include more from this line. Great review Carlos
Hey Carlos! Nice review as always and thank you for the giveaway and your introduction of new frags
Never tried any aqua di Parma fragrances, but interested in giving this one a try after you review.
I really liked to see your enthusiasm about this fragrance! Gotta check it out
I agree and have the 50ml bottle...very FRESH and gentlemanly scent but I wish the longevity was a little better...great review Carlos!
Like something that is not just a fresh scent, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the review, I havent seen one for this fragrance yet. Your intro song is awesome btw.
Love your videos Carlos. Great product info and always fun to watch!
Beautiful fragrance for spring and summer time..... especially for over 30 degrees C !!!
Glad you are shedding some like on AdP! i like those art deco style bottles.
I enjoyed the backstory of this company. I am going to buy a handkerchief tomorrow.
I love Aqua di Parma. Im always confused on the Esdenzas, the Absolutes, Pura, etc. If you love it....now I know which ones next. Good prices on MA actually. Fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing Carlos. AS YOU ALWAYS DO
Great review, love how you explain how it wears inside vs out, oh and for the history about the scent. Thanks Carlos!
I love how much you truly love this fragrance. It comes across in the video.
Thanks Carlos. I really like the great deals at Max aroma you talked about
I enjoyed learning about a citrus fragrance that if you love, I need to try out :) . I'm yet to aquire a citrus in my life. Sound's fantastic for the 🇦🇺 summer closer to Christmas.
Morning Los, this is on my short list to buy soon. Ive heard great things about Colonia Essenza. Hearing that it's a big thumbs up from you is awesome. I really enjoyed Your enthusiasm towards this and thr info about how the snell reacts differently indoor vs out. Thx again for the content brother!
