4711 Acqua Colonia Myrrh & Kumquat Perfume by 4711, Simple, special pairings are a specialty of the Acqua Colonia line from Maurer & Wirtz. 4711 Acqua Colonia Myrrh & Kumquat is no exception. Introduced in 2018, this blend of fruity and aromatic accords is both logical and unusual. This perfume utilizes multiple parts of the kumquat fruit to produce its well-rounded and complex scent. The fruit of the kumquat is tart and a little sweet, while the kumquat peel is slightly bitter, and the flowers of the plant are citrusy and bright. The smoky, spicy note of myrrh contrasts pleasingly with the sweet and sour scent of kumquat. The balsamic, resinous scent is serious and refined, while kumquat is a bit more playful.

This fragrance comes in a bottle that looks a bit like a cut-glass decanter. A discreet taupe label and gold cap finish off this understated perfume perfectly. This brand was founded in 1792 by Wilhelm Muelhens.
