This is the only fragrance that my German grandmother would wear, 4711 is distinctly European, fresh rather than perfumey.

I could easily imagine myself carrying around a little bottle in my bag to freshen up during a hot day in the city or the next conference I attend, especially since it's so inoffensive to spray, even around my slightly fragrance sensitive partner.Citrus is a little synthetic, not quite the froot loops scent but it definitely doesn't smell "expensive. This is a fragrance I purchased only because I started collecting and feel like every collector should own a bottle of what is arguably the oldest mass produced fragrance in history. I understand perfectly from whence Acqua di Parma took inspiration for their original Colonia - yes, AdP’s effort is richer and has more ‘body.

This product is a Pharmacist Only Medicine and requires pharmacist advice before we can dispatch this product. It's probably suitable for men and women above the age of 30 but "old souls" in their 20s can absolutely wear this magnificent fragrance.The problem is, of course, performance: this magnificent fragrance lasts for merely 5-10 minutes on my skin, and then it's gone with the wind. The original eau de cologne is now over two centuries old—there must be a secret that keeps people coming back for hundreds of years. i thought this was like unisex old spice but it seens to be the go to day perfume of the upper class. In the 1950s, the brand erected the "Blue and Gold Building" across from Cologne Cathedral, as well as a brand new manufacturing plant.

A secret recipe of essential oils of lemon, mandarin, lavender, rosemary and neroli make up the enduring and traditional 4711 fragrance.Writing a review on 4711 - you must remember to open your eval with the compulsory 4711 mantra "it just don't last :-( - its a shame it don't last" Failure to do so renders your review invalid. The House of 4711 is a sightseeing hotspot in the city center of Cologne, which represents creativity in the art of perfumery since 225 years.

This cooling tonic brings out and promotes different emotions with the predominant scent of floral citrus and others such as lemon and bergamot. Lately I am going through a stage of absolute obsession with the neroli note triggered by the use of several Neroli Nostrum by Lunio decants. If you were raised in the middle east and ever set foot in a flower distillery, you for sure, know this smell. also has the added benefit of many other pleasant fragrance additions and the overall effect is one of refreshment. It’s one of if not THE last cologne left so it’s much lighter than perfume but the body spray is strong and lasts all day long.I live in a place where 35 to 39C(102F) is very common with humidity levels upto 75% to 80% is normal. Widely considered to be the Original Eau de Cologne, 4711 is certainly one of the oldest fragrances in the world, still being produced. This pairs perfect with molecule 01 as it makes it more rich,full bodied and brings out the best in this scent profile ! It's just disappointing that the scent disappears without trace within an hour - I guess that's magic.
