In 2010, the legendary German perfumery house Maurer & Wirtz gifted the world with 4711 Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil, a vibrant representative of the 4711 Acqua Colonia collection.
Released as an eau de cologne, this fragrance embodies over two centuries of traditions of accessible luxury and impeccable quality, which the brand carefully preserves from generation to generation.
4711 Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil quickly became a favorite among connoisseurs of fresh and cheerful perfumes.
Its unisex character makes it incredibly versatile: it suits both women looking for a light accent and men who prefer fresh notes in everyday life, offering a refreshing escape from routine from the very first sprays.
Thanks to the eau de cologne form, this fragrance has a light and transparent texture, with a barely perceptible trail, making it an ideal choice for summer months or any situations where a refreshing note is needed without overload.
It works excellently in office settings, on walks, or during travels, providing a feeling of freshness and vitality that lasts throughout the day.
We recommend applying it to the wrists, neck, or behind the ears—pulsing points that help the fragrance unfold to its fullest.
Since it belongs to the citrus and fougère families, it offers a balance between fruity sweetness and herbal coolness, which is especially pleasant in hot weather, creating an aura of lightness and ease.
This release is part of the rich history of Maurer & Wirtz, a brand that has been setting standards in the world of perfumery since 1792, remaining synonymous with German quality.
The 4711 Acqua Colonia collection, inspired by the classic eau de cologne 4711, offers modern interpretations of fresh accords, and Blood Orange & Basil is one of the most successful examples of this approach, demonstrating how traditions can harmoniously combine with current trends.
If you are looking for similar experiences, pay attention to Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine-Basilic or Atelier Cologne Clementine California—these fragrances also play with citrus and green notes, offering alternative options for your collection that can complement your perfume wardrobe with new shades of freshness.

The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The heart of the composition 4711 Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil is a duet of basil and blood orange.
These notes, classified into the citrus and fougère families, create a dynamic and refreshing bouquet that instantly uplifts the mood and evokes sunny days.
Blood orange brings a juicy, almost tropical sweetness and a bright citrus burst associated with summer fun and energy, while basil adds a light herbal note, lending the composition coolness and green freshness, balancing the orange's sweetness with a subtle spiciness.
Together, they form a harmonious tandem that unfolds immediately upon application: first, you feel a burst of citrus, then gradually the green accent of basil emerges, creating a multi-layered yet light impression.
This fragrance stays with you throughout the day as a casual reminder of nature, perfectly suited for those who appreciate freshness in every detail and seek a light but memorable accent in everyday life.
