4711 Original Eau de Cologne Splash - 100 ml

Product Information

Despite the fact that reapplying is extremely pleasant and I think it will be a very refreshing gesture for the summer, I don't think I'll replace it when it's finished because I've been finding other options with better performance. Or maybe yes... Maybe this classic should always remain in any collection... In any case, if you have the opportunity to travel to Cologne (Köln), don't hesitate to visit the brand's stores and get this olfactory souvenir, that's how entered my collection for the first time. Our 4711 shop in Bruges is a must-see when visiting this wonderful medieval city. The shop is located in the main shopping street in Bruges, right in the historic heart of the city. Walk in and discover all the amazing fragrances 4711 has to offer. Yevtushenko, Yevgeny Aleksandrovich (1991). The collected poems, 1952-1990 (1sted.). New York: Henry Holt. pp.145–146.

And, thank-you so much for sharing the multiple uses for colognes, universally. May I say that I have recently followed in the footsteps of my Queen: Sophia Loren! She rolls her hair in Chanel spray perfume. Miracle of miracles I found one of my high school scents: Jai Ose online. Oh this smells rich on me, and the memories of the 1970’s… Well, you had to beeeee there! It has a bit of dark looking oil in the juice, and I mix it with Frizz Ease on my wet hair. Well, my hair is softer, and I love the effect. Now all I need is the husband! LOLI expected to have more to say, but after about 25 min this is nearly completely gone. It's just a lot of lovely, natural topnotes, and probably no fixatives. In this case, it's alright with me seeing as how this is a classic blend, I don’t think they messed with it or modernized it, from start to finish this smelled like real oils and/or extracts. Very fresh, 0 chemical smells. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Original Eau de Cologne," a fragrant symphony born in 1792, captures the essence of Mediterranean respite on the hottest of days. Notes of lemon, bergamot, and orange weave a tale of citrus kissed by sunbeams. Lavender and rosemary dance in the midday breeze, a soothing rhythm beneath the relentless sun. Neroli and petitgrain provide a gentle foundation, an homage to the fragrant orchards that line the coast. It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte used eight quarts of cologne every month. If you have similar cologne appetites, then 4711 will make it easy, since it’s one of the least expensive perfumes you can find on the market. It has a citrus standard lasting power, but since it is a fragrance that has a functional role–wake up, uplift, refresh, a couple of hours are plenty for me. 4711 also makes a great cologne bath (fill up a bath and add a few generous splashes of cologne), my favorite way to relax and wind down after a stressful day. Napoleon was definitely onto something.

My ex bf in college wore this. His father was French and lived in France, and he'd visit his dad every summer. I mention this because there is history and nostalgia for me in this scent, but also because French can be snobs about perfume (rightfully so in many cases), and it passed the test in the case of the old bf's family... and this is a German-born scent! Nikki: What a coincidence! I was just in Cologne at the Dome and the 4711 store! It is wonderful, truly great, to be close to a medieval church, have this amazing 4711 scenting the air, and drink Frueh Koelsch beer which is a light version of beer and very refreshing. Such a beautiful city! This is your classic eau de Cologne scent. Of course it being the original EDC, you'd expect that. Some have called this one medicinal, grandpa smelling, outdated, etc. I disagree. This smells like a typical citrus forward cologne, with a slight hint of floral. Not bad at all! Easy dumb reach fragrance that is very safe, nonoffensive and mass appealing.

Yes, what Srimati wrote! Old ladies and there handkerchiefs with this stuff on. That’s why I hate it I guess? Smells like old ladies, but not in a good way in my brain. Tati: The timing of this review is perfect as I have a large bottle on its way right now! In Austria my mother used this as an aid for headaches, applying it at the temples. The opening is better than any natural smelling citrus smell .So comforting and calming this fragrance is. It doesn't last for sure, but not as bad as people complaining. Annette Reynolds: Victoria, thank you for this terrific piece on 4711. I’ve been using it for several years (yet still always searching for the “perfect” eau de cologne that I found, then lost by Berdoues, and before that by Maja) and really do love it.
