4711Acqua Colonia Intense Wakening Woods Of Scandinavia by Muelhens for Unisex - 5.7 oz EDC Spray

For those who boohoo the longevity of this scent, take note: it is an eau de cologne! It is designed to disappate after a couple of hours and then be reapplied or layered with an eau de Parfum for longevity. I absolutely love the bright, almost sharp hit of pink pepper that makes a bold entrance, only to be tapered by the juicy sweetness of grapefruit. It's lovely on it's own but when paired with a long lasting Parfum... It's phenomenal! I am an avid fan of the Arabic perfume houses (you'll find high quality scents for affordable prices, not to mention dupes for popular expensive scents.) One that I purchased recently was Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst and while I REALLY appreciate the longevity of the perfume, I felt that it was missing a bit of brightness in the top notes. I layered the Acqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit over the Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst and WOW! The Acqua Colonia eau de cologne truly helped to bring the pink pepper notes of the Lattafa eau de Parfum to the forefront and helped carry that bright spiciness along throughout the dry down. I have purchased several different variations of the Acqua Colonia colognes because they truly give you more bang for your buck! Whether you opt to wear them on their own as a light scent or layer them to enhance your longer wearing perfumes, you really can't go wrong.

Versatile eau da cologne. Much lighter than a perfume.It goes on with a slight nose of alcohol that evaporates almost immediately.A fresh squeezed grapefruit lingers as the top note with a creamy pink peppercorn base.I compare this to two much more expensive perfumes, Guerlain & Jo Malone, which like the 4711 Acqua Colonias, are perfect for mixing, matching and layering. This one is fab layered with vanilla scents, the orange basil is decadent layered with patchouli or chocolate based perfumes or dust a light oriental perfume like Diptique Dosan or Jo Malone Earl Gray & Cuc with the 4711 lemon for a more complex scent. Wear alone for a simple, clean & fresh feel . Great buy, especially for the size.

This cologne is outstanding and unique its name is long but it nails the scent it smells just like the woods on a cold crisp morning , but if you are expecting spiced up pinesol this is not for you, this is light , refreshing and really well done. Longevity is pretty good the scent mellows after about 2 hours into a really nice fresh dry down

I was expecting something with a fresh scent of grapefruit, but I was wrong. It starts with a combination of faint grapefruit and spices and after it settles down it changes to a faint fragrance of spice and smoke. Not too much projection or strength so it makes it perfect for those who do not want to offend other people's olfactory sense. It does not last too long on your skin, maybe 4 to 5 hours from application to disappearance.

This fragrance is droplets of heaven placed in a bottle that is surging with all the beautiful energies in our planet.The smell of an expensive Terre d Hermes with some technical tweaking of the chemical elements toning it down to a more wearable and subtle sibling.This fragrance is very affordable. It was a blind buy that I pulled the trigger right away and I never regretted.I am sure it will get the love it deserves at some point.

The smell is not bad, but it's not really an earthy (grass or forest) smell. It's more of a luxury fresh smell. Both Creed and Tom Ford have something similar. So it's more of a fancy daytime on the yacht smell as apposed to a lovable practical work cologne. I will rarely use this cologne

I bought my first bottle of this cologne in France and used my smaller bottle completely. I was so happy to find it on Amazon! It is a light and refreshing fragrance and will not "overwhelm" people standing close to you!

I like the soft feminine scent. And since it is a cologne, I have the option to splash or spray.Refreshing and cooling during these hot summer months.I use it immediately after showering, or spray or splash when the heat becomes unbearable.
