Blood Orange & Basil

Blood Orange & Basil pairs ripe citrus with an aromatic herb in 4711’s Acqua Colonia line. Perfumer Vincent Schaller describes sun-ripened blood oranges and distinctive basil as a way of evoking a holiday. This eau de cologne brings the brightness of fruit together with a greener character, giving the citrus a fresh aromatic setting.

The juicy impression of blood orange meets basil’s spicy, fragrant character. The herb’s green edge sharpens the sweet and tart citrus and leaves an aromatic outline around the fruit. The appeal lies in that contrast: orange brings brightness and juiciness, while basil gives the composition a more herbal character than fruit sweetness alone.

It suits a morning before heading outside, or a moment when you want refreshing citrus with a herb accent. The clear 100mL bottle has a relief pattern across the glass and a gold-coloured cap. A deep green front label and matching neck strip echo basil’s green character, with gold lettering and a substantial glass base completing the bottle.
