Colonia Pura Eau Spray

This stuff is divine. For what this fragrance does and how it makes you feel in a tropical climate you really cannot go wrong. I first smelled this at Epcot of all places in the Italy pavilion. If you are familiar with the park, then you would know that several of the countries feature fragrance brands from their respective countries of origin. At first sniff I was in love with this juice. It is not crazy complex but very sexy, alluring, and masculine although generally a unisex smell if that makes sense. The retail price is not terribly out of touch, but the price you can get this at on grey market retailers is insane! I got my 100ML for around $62 and I can't see how that could've been a better deal. This fragrance is very adult though in my opinion. I can't see a teen pulling this off. Im in my early 20s and I still feel a little out of place when I wear this sometimes. It's just so sophisticated and grown rich man smelling. This is like all of the best aspects of sunscreen fresh type fragrances but made a little more well rounded with different accords. As far as when to wear this, I would say anytime spring or summer. There's not really a casual vs. formal scent to this. More of a who are you as the person wearing this type of vibe. This is white linen, suede summer walks, and cream colored pants type of vibes to me. Longevity is great but projection is not. People will need to be close to smell this on you, but they will be able to smell you at least 6 hours after application. Fantastic performance for an Eau De Cologne concentration to me. If you can get this for sub $80 and are into what I described above I would say just grab it. You really can't go wrong with this juice. It might even get you a new love interest if that's what you're looking for ;).

It’s a floral and ozonic version of the original. I have several bottles from AdP and this one is my favorite, in fact, my favorite summer/sea/ocean fragrance of all time. I wish my wife could stand it :( — i would bath with that juice all summer (you can get a 6 oz bottle ~$80 at discounters so why not, its a steal considering the quality). There is something so intoxicating with this (one of the florals maybe? still very unisex, even a bit on the male side due to the woody base which is more dominant here compared to the original). I think the projection and longevity are pretty good for this profile. To me, this is absolutely an underrated gem that should be present in every frag-lovers’ collection. If you are just planning to buy a nice summer scent, you may think twice getting a full bottle, given it disturbs my wife. But on the other hand, there are very few fragrances that she likes 😅, so this may also be your signature summer scent, it would be mine in a parallel universe!

Imagine relaxing in a Private Yatch with family and friends during summer, that was the image that came to mind when smelling this fragrance. To Describe in One word, this Scent is Rejuvenating. Opening with a Bright-sweet-juicy Begamotte-Orange note, accompanied by the ozonic notes which give " Light airy" quality that that gives it a subtle radiance touch, It dries down to this smooth Powdery Floral shower gel scent that further dies down to this woody musky base. In my humid and equitoral(burning hot) climate, Longevity i get 4-5 hrs, projection is Moderate for the first 1 hr, before drying down to somemore intimaite, though i still get wiffs of myself occasionaly around the 2-3hr mark. Extremly versetile spring summer morning scent, Overal 7.75/10.

It's very lovely and there's not much to dislike despite it being very weak. On a warm day in a linen shirt it's really quite delightful. You can smell the naturals so clearly: Oranges and bergamot with a lovely subtle sweetness and air of sophistication. It's VERY Italian and conjures up images of walking through a sun dappled path in Amalfi with the sound of the sea in the distance and orange trees either side of me. I can hear the birds singing and the air is warm, yet fresh. I'm on my way to a terrace overlooking the coast to have an early afternoon aperitif and a light lunch with great company. Yes, the longevity is bad but it's a cologne and can be reapplied whenever you fancy.

I have a hard time finding a summer/spring fragrance I enjoy wearing, this one does it for me. Personally I’d put it up there with reflection man, it’s that good to my nose. Only issue is the performance.
