I got a 800ml bottle and use it when doing sports in summer, or as mosquito-repellent (likely not working) and room fragrance. Perfectly unisex (the masculine notes of lavender and herbs are balanced perfectly by the more feminine neroli note), 4711 is a classic with mass appeal. If you really had a long journey without a real chance to wash you'd at least retreat to the wash room briefly, splash it on your neck and wipe some around your arms. This historic cologne has the most glorious fragrance, and somehow manages to be calming and revitalizing at the same time.

In the drydown it retains some of the lemon surprisingly and the neroli is still there but it does get more powdery making this more well balanced. Before the alcohol dries away, I get gin, but that kinda doesn’t count, immediately after it dries away I’m hit in the face with citrus, lemon and orange, very bright, with a tinge of green neroli.

Forever etched in my senses as the perfume my Oma loved for the entirety of her life, so I love it for those nostalgic memories of her. Neroli, extracted from the blossom of the bitter orange, has a calming effect in the base note, creating a positive mood.

Fragrance”, “Duft”, “Perfume”, “Profumo”, “芳香”, and “Parfum” would be the multilingual answers, but above all: “Eau de Cologne”. Ever since the first spray, my brain has been here and there, connecting the dots between it and other fragrance: CK One, Neroli Portofino, moist refresher towelettes(! If you sat close at tea you could smell another person, and it would cover any stink, but you know, it was another time.It's so cheap you can bathe in it, and it's the be all and end all of cologne scents to me in terms of balance, freshness and shimmer. Happiness of the moment, always gone and just enjoyed in the present without much thought and certainly no judgement. Original is a pioneering fresh and light fragrance with a curious history that has done more than reconcile generations: it has crossed the centuries. In conclusion, the 4711 Original Eau De Cologne in the 300ml bottle size is a beloved fragrance that continues to capture hearts with its classic appeal. These areas include your wrists, the nape of your neck, behind your knees, behind your ear, and inside your elbows.
