Yes, but...
...there's a catch with this scent for me. But let's take it step by step:
Aqua de Colonia Concentrada first made my pharmacist heart race. This is not a seductive, cozy, glamorous fragrance, but an energy booster not just for summer. The herbs and flowers used here are well-known and proven in aromatherapy. Almost none stand out distinctly; together they create a healthy, powerful, and positive impression. Of course, the scent is unisex, invigorating both men and women equally. But I wrote "almost" no note stands out, and that's where the problem lies for me. I simply cannot stand the scent of geraniums. It is unpleasant for me. As lovely as geraniums look in alpine balcony boxes, their scent, especially when you break the green, directly hurts me.
I don't mean to say that the geranium note dominates in Aqua de Colonia. It is not louder than rosemary or lavender, but I can clearly smell it, and that makes it impossible for me to add this fragrance to my wish list.
However, Florblanca has sent me options, thank you very much, I will still find my summer scent for 2012.

It's actually a great scent, it would fit my preferences perfectly.
But unfortunately, I perceive the geranium just like you do.
Let's see if it works better next summer.
Otherwise, with the current prices, it could also be used as a wound treatment 🙈.
