4711 Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil by Maurer & Wirtz is a unisex Eau de Cologne Spray that brings a bright, modern twist to citrus. Released in 2010 and crafted by renowned perfumer Vincent Schaller, this fragrance sits within the 4711 Acqua Colonia collection as a clean, everyday signature you won’t forget. The 5.7 oz bottle is a practical, long-lasting addition to any scent wardrobe.
At first spray, a juicy burst of blood orange lightens the air with solar brightness, while fresh basil threads a crisp, green herbal note through the citrus. The result isn’t sweet or heavy—it's a refined, invigorating blend that feels effortless on all genders and ages. The composition emphasizes clarity and ease, making it ideal for people who want a scent that fades gracefully without shouting for attention.
Who this is for
This fragrance is designed for anyone who loves a sun-kissed citrus with an aromatic edge. It’s equally comfortable for women and men, and it shines in everyday scenarios—from busy workdays to relaxed weekend outings. If you prefer a fragrance that reads as clean and contemporary rather than fruity-sweet or overpowering, Blood Orange & Basil will feel like a natural extension of your personal style.
