When we think of rose fragrances, most of us picture something soft, romantic, and maybe a bit predictable. But Acqua di Parma’s new Signatures of The Sun, Luce di Rosa Eau de Parfum breaks away from that. It’s not your usual floral perfume. This scent brings the rose into a new light—literally. It’s fresh, modern, and full of unexpected contrasts that keep you intrigued from the moment you spray it.

Luce di Rosa starts with a burst of citrus—think of the zing you get when peeling a fresh Bergamot or Mandarin. It’s bright and lively, with just a hint of peppery spice from Pink Pepper and Black Pepper. The spicy warmth adds an edge to the citrus, making the opening feel both clean and exciting. There’s also a soft touch of Cardamom in there, adding a little complexity without overpowering the lightness.

The Heart of the Fragrance

At the core of this Signatures of the Sun scent is, of course, the rose. But not just any rose—this is Bulgarian Rose Oil, known for its richness and depth. This isn’t a powdery, old-fashioned rose. It’s vibrant and alive, with hints of green and spice that give it a modern twist. Mixed with Geranium, the rose feels fresh and dynamic, with just enough complexity to keep it interesting.

A Warm, Woody Finish

As the fragrance settles, it moves into warmer territory. Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Cedar form the base, adding a touch of earthiness that balances out the floral heart. The woods give the scent a bit of structure and warmth, while the subtle hint of musk keeps things soft and sensual. It’s the kind of dry down that feels comforting and grounded without being heavy.

 

For Everyone, Anytime

Acqua Di Parma’s new Luce di Rosa Eau de Parfum is gender-neutral. It doesn’t feel overly floral or too woody—just balanced. Whether you’re looking for something fresh for daytime or a more complex scent for the evening, this fragrance works well for both. It’s versatile and unique, standing out without being too bold.
