Acqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit

The bottle is just so great looking. It's classy to say the least. Then you spray it, and sharp burst of citrusy grapefruit hits your nose. And the sharpness is piercing. But the smell disappears after 30 minutes or so on my skin. I'm a guy and wanted something I could add to water and spray myself all over after taking a shower, and it does the job awesomely and my body smells fresh for a while. I added a ml or two pineapple fragrance oil to the mix..so water, this cologne, and pineapple oil - and I got this incense-like smell that lingers longer and it smells like the dry-down of Bleu De Chanel. It's awesome. I would recommend it as an after shower freshen-me-up cologne and would say to add water and make a mist spray kinda thing.

Sentimental scent to me. Reminds me Merz Apothecary from Chicago where I actually first time saw this brand and learned about 4711. First I got classic one... Than after this was my second most loved fragrance. I had so many complients on it. Even my auntie started to use it because of me. Its so fresh and energizing. I even purchased the soap with a same ingredience and taking shower with that soap its a best part of morning. If your coffee doesnt work spray it at work you will get energy boost. Its just such a happy scent. Today I have purchased my bottle at 4711 Brugge store in Belgium. Second 4711 butique after Koln.

This one is really well made. I normally don´t like grapefruit but this one does not smells like sweat. When i first spray it it is very citric but it fades quickly to a rosy smell from the pink pepper. You can still smell the grapefruit until the end, but it is well balanced with the pepper. I also don´t normally like rosy smells, i think rose fragrances normally smell like old lady but this one feels modern to me (my husband think it is "old lady" though).

I'm in love with the pink pepper note in general: it gives the perfume a bit of fresh spiciness. Acqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit is exactly what the name promises: grapefruit with a bit of spice. I sprayed some on my skin and on my clothes to make it stronger. The longevity on clothes is better than I expected, I was still getting wiffs of fresh citrus about 6 hours later.

For the value, this is a great buy. This can be a unisex frag. Initially when using it I thought it a little masculine. After pairing it with Sephora grapefruit body lotion it's much more wearable. It is weak though and needs to be refreshed every few hours. The scent is fresh, unique, uplifting and tart. My favorite of the acqua Colonia lines.
