Sweet aromas beckon |
3 Via Gesu Milan, Milan 20121 Italy +39 2 552 2881 http://www.acquadiparma.it/ |
This brand-name has existed since the age of the Gonzaga dynasty. In the early part of the twentieth century, when it was only the strong German perfumes that dominated the industry, Acqua di Parma established its foothold in the market by introducing a new fragrance of citrus fruits that became so popular that they had to expand the distribution system. It continues to prevail as a much sought-after brand even today. Visit the store to pamper your senses with sweet fragrances, or to find a gift for that special someone. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Paper is all its various forms |
4 Via San Maurilio Milan, Milan 20100 Italy +39 2 86 5221 |
You can tell from the name that this store is totally dedicated to paper. It is extremely smart, a delicious shop in one of the secret, hidden side roads in the Via Torino area, selling a vast range of paper based products: wrapping paper from the East, frames in all kinds of different materials, notebooks on blackboards, diaries for your travel journals and the most sought after writing paper. The real goodies though are the boxes or bags for sweets, which are selling incredibly well: made of either material or paper, they are simple but unique in their decoration and shape, and would delight any bride.
