About this deal

Let's just say if I splashed myself with fruit juice, I would have achieved better sillage and logevity than with 4711. I got this as a gift for my friend who knows everything about Napoleon, down to what cologne he used. This is a frugal guy who doesn’t really care for fragrance or understand my interest in it, so he said, “if this was good enough for the emperor, it’s good enough for me.”

Stiftung Rheinisch-Westfälisches Wirtschaftsarchiv (RWWA), Cologne: Genuine files 1803 u. Mülhens letters May 9, 1802 / June 22, 1819 / June 27, 1819 / October 31, 1824 / January 20, 1826 / February 3, 1826 / January 11, 1827 If this were priced higher, I would gripe, but since it's so affordable I think it's totally fair to just have fleeting refreshment in a bottle for hot days! It's quite warm outside currently, and it is indeed a literal breath of fresh air. Straight down the line as truly unisex (who cares anyway, wear what you like). Cornelia Blimber: Please do and let us know! I smelled 4711 a lot in childhood, it was a classic in the family. I remember it as a softer cologne, more neroli and less citrus, but I could be wrong. So I am very curious on what you think! The performance on me is better than most as I get 2-5 hours but when I layer this with molecule 01 I get 5-7 hours. This pairs perfect with molecule 01 as it makes it more rich,full bodied and brings out the best in this scent profile !! Sillage is actually decent on this as it leaves a nice scent trail but never really projects is a citrusy EDC, so don’t use like a men’s cologne and expect a long-lasting fragrance. It’s all about freshening up, and it does the job well and at a good price.Original Eau de Cologne by Maurer & Wirtz is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. 4711 Original Eau de Cologne was launched in 1792. The nose behind this fragrance is Wilhelm Muelhens. Top notes are orange oil, peach, basil, bergamot and lemon; middle notes are cyclamen, lily, melon, jasmine and bulgarian rose; base notes are patchouli, tahitian vetiver, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss and cedar. The fragrance is available as 60, 90, 300, 400 and 800 ml eau de cologne, and 150ml after shave.

Useless as a scent as many intend it today (super projection, everlasting longevity, possibly choking everyone else in the room), the original 4711 is a wonderful fabric scent, or a superb olfactory comfort when you need to smell something nice, clean and invigorating. Strong like also considering its incredibly cheap price. I would love to try some of the flankers in their line and maybe owning one of the 800ml bottle just for the sake of it. If you plan to use it for real, though, do yourself a favour and buy one of the spray bottles - not the splash ones! Gorgeous old time barber shop vibes, fresh citrus that feel wonderful to splash on after a shower. After around half an hour, on my skin it develops some skanky note (the good type) that feel familiar to fragrances with civet notes, like Civet from Zoologist. Overall it's a great fresh complement to a morning routine, I could even use it as after shave I think.Aromatherapy has been used for ages and is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. 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. The effect can be calming, invigorating, energising and so many more.
