4711 Acqua Colonia Intense Sunny Seaside of Zanzibar

This was probably the most expensive 4177 bottle of cologne that I've ever bought. I understand that it's an "intense" version, so maybe that's why is was pricier. But it is a large 170ml bottle, so it'll last forever. The presentation is nice. The smell? well, luckily it doesn't smell like cologne at all. It smells like a nice edt, with decent last power. I smell mostly a powdery heliotrope and coconut, something that mimics vanilla but it isn't really vanilla. In mid development I can sense the frangipani. The scent is sunny and warm without a single trace of citrus. The powdery feeling turns into something creamy, not unlike Bronze Goddess and sun screen. I can't sense any anise or watermelon, this is all creamy powdery sunshine . I think this is more feminine than unisex, but it would probably smell nice on a man too. Unexpected! Oh, the presentation is quite nice too. I think I'll keep it.

Grab your stash whilst you can, this little gem of the greener, fresher, Beach-Perfume vibe is disappearing (April 2026) and it's a good price too. This Cologne is very refreshing and although it's named after the famous African Island...this isn't a sun tan lotion scent at all, there are no coconut notes, mainly watermelon, freshly cut tropical vegetation, citrus and some musk, it's beautifully done and if you don't want overpowering but something a bit different then this is your scent. If you love Olivier Franck "White Touch" and Paula's Ibiza (Loewe) then you'll love this one too. This was a special recommendation of a list provided by a guy on YouTube, and it's a blessing to get a recommendation of something that costs under £50 for 170ml - these cheaper but amazing fragrances are getting harder to find in the UK.

I always say that Sunny Seaside of Zanzibar is TF Eau de Soleil Blanc's unruly sister. She is younger, more outspoken and less floral. This fragrance has been one of my favourites since I discovered it 5+ years ago. Personally it reminds me of sunshine and definitely pineapple, although I don't see that in the notes. It is more fresh than just pineapple though, which is probably a good thing 😬 I'm all for unisex scents by the way, and many of the Aqua Colonia line are just that... but I find this particular one rather feminine.

Oh wow....this is gorgeous! I'm blown away considering the price of this. To me, it smells expensive, luxurious and not synthetic at all - also very unique and interesting! This will be beeeeautiful in summer, gosh I can't wait to wear this. On my skin, I get a lot of the watermelon and anis for the first hours and then slowly the coconut and vanilla join the game.

I love this one. A perfect summer fragrance for people who cannot support strong fragrance. It has a sweet vacation smell. Doesn’t last long but this isn’t a problem for me.
