  |  Wow! Do fragrances get any purer or more delicious than this? Beautiful citrus surrounded by fragrant flowers. A lovely garden illuminated by the sun of a perfect Mediterranean day. 22 September 2008 |

|  In the interest of full disclosure, it must be admitted that I have never found a citrus-heavy scent remotely wearable; they seem to turn into noxious detergents on my skin. Sadly Colonia was no exception. One very much wants to participate in a venerable tradition, and one especially longs for a scent redolent of warm southern climes and happy seaside summers, but the intense lemon of Colonia was overwhelming and irritating. I couldn't wait to wash it off.10 September 2008 |
 | It is dedicated and elegant. In a world of excess, that we lived today, this is a good example that many times less is more. If bring to my senses a notion of freshness a flashback to older times when life was less chaotic. I must also say that the bottle design and packaging is superb, spot on. In my humble opinion this is a must among perfumistas. 09 September 2008 |
 | I like the flowery base in my skin after 15 minutes of aplication. very similar to extra vielle but more refined. not for young people. 22 August 2008 |

| Simple, smooth, elegant, and a true classic. The opening is a little heavy but after a couple of minutes what is left blows away anything else close. GIT eat your heart out! 07 August 2008 |
  | Well, I am interested to see that nearly all the reviews for AdP Colonia here are by gentlemen, as my lady wears this scent and she smells quite magnificent in it. Yes, with her, you certainly get that triumphant initial citrus blast, but this then settles into something quite dense, dark and herbaceous -- masculine, but fetching on a lady, nonetheless. Am also interested to read about the 'hyping' of this brand: I must say that she elected to buy this scent after having sniffed a large number of other colognes. Had it not been for her impatience, I would probably have bought her a bottle of the Chanel Exclusifs Cologne, which is sublime. AdP is an excellent substitute, nonetheless. 06 August 2008 |
