4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser Original Eau De Cologne, 200 ml

Product Information

A Smallflower reviewer says, "Every self-respecting woman in the 50s and 60s had a bottle of 4711 on her vanity. Overall it's a great fresh complement to a morning routine, I could even use it as after shave I think. This pairs perfect with molecule 01 as it makes it more rich,full bodied and brings out the best in this scent profile ! Wearing this for the first time (in the form of the perfumed towelettes, thanks to the sudden UK heatwave). If you were stuck with insufferably sweaty people in a stuffy train compartment you'd dash some on your handkerchief and sniff that.

The oldest Eau de Cologne was born in October of 1792, when Wilhelm Muelhens received a secret recipe as a wedding gift.

These newer scents are all more potent, more expensive, and more readily relevant for our contemporary use/trends/needs.It was a refresher after eating out with the family, we cleaned our hands with it, my mother soaked her handkerchiefs in it and dabbed our foreheads on hot days. Due to the cologne's usage as a surrogate alcohol, 4711 was the original telephone number of the Finnish Poison Information Centre. this is definitely a classic and a must have for collectors in their archive ( but it isn't a necessity hehe, did I just contradict myself?

I've seen a lot of people compare this to Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford but to me, they are perfumes from completely different calipers. As a fragrance outside the house I would rather wear it less, because it has almost no sex appeal and rather sinks into the crowd. What this fragrance, which is over 200 years old, has to do with the current version, is of course not known. What I find funny: There is also an XXL bottle in the 800ml version, which is also not so expensive.

Being the first cologne created, and as a bonus, was very affordable, wanted this as part of my collection. This is already in my travel bag and will be jetting off to Spain with me next time I visit my parents.
