4711 Original Eau De Cologne 300ml

Product Information

A cult classic that has delighted the senses for over 200 years, 4711 Eau de Cologne Splash is a venerable fragrance. I use this for my bedtime spray because something about the herbal/medicinal quality of it soothes me.

Soft neroli emerges early on, rounding out the zesty citruses of the opening, and becomes the dominant note. Val Vigezzo's capital city, Santa Maria Maggiore, hosts a small perfume museum where the story of eau de cologne is explained, and they still sell in the town the original "Acqua di Colonia - Feminis-Farina". In addition, as we give you the option to choose what best suits your needs from several sellers, you have the power to decide so you can make your purchase as you wish. Not many cultures have kept alive the cologne splash, but some Mediterraneans still know what to do with such a fragrance. It's the sort of scent you could easily splash on at work in the middle of the afternoon to freshen yourself up without receiving any negative comments.The citrus and alcohol content in this is incredible at inhibiting bacterial growth and neutralizing some of that "hot weather musk" that may develop with a more natural hygiene routine (read: no chemical deodorizers or antiperspirants).

Use it as a general feel fresh skin scent or when I'm going to be home and don't want to use one of my pricier frags. You kinda have to take into consideration that this is a very dated scent, so although it may objectively smell good, it's a smell you would associate with such things as air fresheners. As others have mentioned, it's not super potent, and, IMO, it has better longevity in the summer than winter. Spritz on some 4711 before going to sleep so you have something pleasant to sniff (plus, lavender and sleep are something of an item, or so I've heard, and 4711 contains lavender, so.

On 7 October 1794, the city council decided that every local government official had to hand in an inventory of all citizens and non-citizens in his district within 48 hours. It's funny how I never clocked it as citrusy when I was a child, but I recently smelled Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino and it smelled exactly like 4711, which I had not smelled in years. This calendar was supposed to include, amongst other things, the house numbers which had recently been assigned. We are talking about women who lived through or were born during the war so nothing would be wasted.

When I was a kid, right after I showered, my mom would put this on me before my pajamas and I remember feeling so clean and fresh and ready for bed. It's much more of a thing you'd use to make yourself feel fresh and clean for a little bit without trying to grab attention. The scent molecules of the essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain. Ahora en cuanto a duracion no esperes mas alla de 15 - 30 minutos de duracion es solo una colonia muy antigua y primitiva, por lo tanto no tiene duracion potencial, pero hay que comprender que la casa perfumera tenia intenciones de hacerla como la original, y en 1799 aun los perfumes no duraban casi nada, para esa epoca si ponemos en contexto debe de haber sido algo magnifico, pero para nuestra epoca ya no tanto hablando de duracion.I couldn't figure out which note it was at first but I did notice immediately it reminded me of Bobby Brown Beach. Edit: I love this so much, and can't believe it was sitting *right under my nose* in the local pharmacy MY WHOLE LIFE. If you want something slightly more refined and better performing, Givenchy Gentleman Cologne is an option, as are Aventus and its clones. Interestingly, the realism put off my partner, who said it "didn't smell like a perfume" and that it smelt to him as if he had rubbed a plain spice or herb directly onto his skin rather than a fragrance blend.
