Dull Water
The idea behind Acqua Colonia is perfect for 4711.
Simple colognes for a pick me up in hot weather.
The better examples do this admirably, they are refreshing and cheap enough to splash on with abandon.
Anything besies that isn't going to work and this is the case with Vetyver & Bergamot. Both materials are too heavy to be anything more than modifiers for citruses, lavender and herbs; it's too simple for a perfume and too sombre for a cologne.
It also smells too synthetic and has an unnecessary, cloying sweet powdery note.
