Description
Acqua Colonia is introducing a new fragrance 4711 Acqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit in March 2013, with an aim to improve our mood and offer a blend of carefully selected raw ingredients. Contrasting ingredients are carefully united to provide a refreshing, euphoric mixture spiced with fruity and floral notes.
The new Acqua Colonia is like an adventurous expedition in the rainforests of South America where hot and humid air is filled with the scents of pink pepper developing in the lush greenery of tall trees.
While posing contrast to spices, the composition adds sparkling grapefruit with the role to provide dynamics, refreshment and liveliness to the new composition. Its aromas embody feelings of joy and happiness. The perfume is signed by perfumer Cécile Hua who discovered pink pepper at one of her journeys to South America. She enriched the composition with a fresh and fruity blend of pink pepper with clear tart hues of pink pepper. Grapefruit symbolizes energy and a good mood while pink pepper symbolizes luminosity. These joined notes offer a sparkling fragrant union in 4711 ACQUA COLONIA PINK PEPER & GRAPEFRUIT.
The fragrance is available as 170 ml eau de cologne, as well as refreshing shower gel 300 ml.
The nose behind this fragrance is Cecile Hua.

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.

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.

Oh, this is LOVE! Starts off with a refreshing blast of grapefruit and then some pink pepper. Dries down quickly leaving only hints of pepper. I get only a few hours at a time (something you should know prior to purchase. I did so it wasn’t a let down) but these are most enjoyable. Definitely my current summer chilling favorite.

I always have a purse spray filled with Acqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit with me on my way to work. After a long day I love to use this as a quick way to refresh the senses. ACPP&G reminds me a little bit of Cartier Declaration with its beautiful aromatic opening. The opening is the part I love the most, the drydown is quiet and soft.

the pepper part is fleeting, but the grapefruit is really good (not armpit-like at all)and lasts longer than I thought.

Opens with a huge grapefruit blast…then the pepper comes in…calms down to a soft hum…I get maybe three hours tops on my skin…huge bottle for very little money…worth checking out if you are a grapefruit fan…

A light version of grapefruit with a friendly pink pepper.
They are both distinctive scents, quite unique in its own.
But here, and perhaps because this is a (true) cologne, both notes seem to be working at half power.
They stay there, sailing quietly until they disappear completely.
i like it but sadly nobody around you will have the pleasure to smell it.

I am loving grapefruit! I think its both men and women. It does have a scent of men kolonische wasser, but the total overall gives me happiness.. and zest… fresh grapefruit closed in bottle…. with pink pepper… gives the notes – my top 10 fragrances globally….4711 ACQUA COLONIA PINK PEPER & GRAPEFRUIT.

Delightful. A zesty citrus with a little kick to give it depth. Sinks in quickly, but I get hints of it when i move for a couple hours after.

I love this! It’ s fresh, it revives you! At the same time it kind of calmes me down. It destresses me 😉 . Ok it isn’t longlasting, my bottle is practical half empty already. When you first spray it, sillage is good, but then it kind of disappears… Citrusy all the way!
Индеец – :
Wow!! citrusy, flowery, grapefruit. Amazing. Fresh, invigorating, exhilarating! Seriously great, well done. I used the gel in the shower and it made my entire morning like a walk in the park with my dog in the spring. Highly recommended if you like the ¨someone smells good effect¨.

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 bought the box with the 5 mini fragrances (lime & nutmeg, Lemon & Ginger, Mandarine & Cardamom, Blood orange & basil, pink pepper and grapefruit) and this one is the most feminine of them all. good for day and night, specially on summer ( but can work on winter too)
Longevity is a problem like with the other fragrances of the line. they should sell this as an eau de toilette or eau de parfum,it would be better. But still, this line has really good colognes.
note: 8/10

I think it’s pretty good. At first “sniff” it’s a citrus scent while a couple of minutes later it turns into something that reminds me of my beloved “eau des merveilles” by Hermes. Must be the pink pepper… I consider it suitable for any season, be it sunny or rainy. It doesn’t last long though.

So far, I enjoy this scent more than any other in this particular line – which is unusual, because I really don’t like grapefruit. I’m not crazy about eating it and I’m not crazy about smelling it. But, I don’t know – something about this mixture leaves me really enjoying it.
The grapefruit isn’t overly strong and it’s accompanied by the pink pepper, which adds just a bit of spice to the sweet and sourness of the citrus. It’s well-balanced and very refreshing. Perfect for relaxing or wearing in any situation I can think of.

I enjoy the line but I’m not a fan of this one. I like the pink peppery part but not the grapefruit, because to my nose grapefruit in perfumes always smells a bit like armpit sweat. That said the scent is well made for a cologne, like other ones in the line. They are affordable and longlasting and usually good for your mood. They make good summer scents.
bathbodyxx – :
I really rather like this scent which I bought in the spring. Surprisingly, it seems to appeal even more during these cold winter months. Perhaps that is because I am at the end of the bottle and realise that soon I shall no longer enjoy the simple beauty of its composition.

I was so exited to try this new Acqua Colonia, but it let me down. From the first spray you get a grapefruit and pink pepper (less fragrant and sweeter smelling than a black pepper). Than the smell quickly turns to very(!) watered down sweet-citrusy with a pinch of pepper.
It didn’t leave me happy or wanting more. The smell to me is super diluted and uninspiring. It stays longer on my clothes then on a skin. It fell short, and it doesn’t belong in the same line as older 4711 Acqua Colonia.
