Thread: Acqua Di Parma vs RazoRock XXX Everything seems to be the same but the price

[from the Basenotes entry for Acqua di Parma Colonia]

Top Notes: Sicilian citrus fruit
Middle Notes: lavender, rosemary, verbena, damask rose
Base Notes: vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli

I think it's quite important to note two things in this AdP v. RR-XXX controversy:

1. Acqua di Parma Colonia has been in-production since 1916
2. Acqua di Parma Colonia is made solely from Essential Oils (EO)

Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I do believe that RazorRock XXX is a more recent product, and contains many/mostly Fragrance Oils (synthetic manufacture). So, regardless of which one a person might prefer, it is incorrect to say that AdP Colonia smells like RR-XXX; rather, 'tis the other way 'round.

I'd like to raise another point: Acqua di Parma Colonia shaving cream is but one part of the Colonia product line; the other components are: bath soap/gel, exfoliating cleanser, shampoo, shaving gel, after-shave balm/splash, eau de cologne, body cream, deodorant, and candle.

As for cost, you get what you pay for, and I very-much like the lather, lubrication, moisturizing, and aroma of Acqua di Parma Colonia; besides, a little goes a long way.

i just got one x, xxx, and xx from razorock.

i liked the xxx.... just sold the one x....the XX will be sold next.
