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. This is such a classy, light yet full of depth Spring or Summer fragrance, the Basil and Cedar really blending to perfection. We are talking about women who lived through or were born during the war so nothing would be wasted.

When sprayed underneath and on clothes I get slightly longer wear and this delicious airy effect which I look for in colognes. Not far back enough to be in the cargo holds of the Mayflower or First Fleet, The Four Ships et al, but still no doubt one of the 1st frags to be exported out of Europe to new frontiers in bulk.The 4711 Original Eau De Cologne offers a classic and refreshing scent that has stood the test of time.

But all I can tell is that people often compare this one to Przemysławka eau de cologne from Poland. If you were stuck with insufferably sweaty people in a stuffy train compartment you'd dash some on your handkerchief and sniff that.If you inhale deeply, that spicier rosemary aromatic top note is available throughout until deeper stages of dry-down.

Unfortunately we are no longer able to send to France, Germany, Norway, Slovakia or Sweden due to customs regulations.But if you want to splash it under your arms or all over after a shower for a quick wake-up pick-me-up, definitely go for it. Cologne is totally unisex (in my subjective opinion), proper and suitable for formal and informal events, day and night, and for all four seasons, but I think it's leaning toward daytime in spring and summer. Happiness of the moment, always gone and just enjoyed in the present without much thought and certainly no judgement.

Even as I apply it, I'm not getting any spark of memory about the last time I smelled it on a parent or my German grandmother. My Dad always wore 4711 (and the Ice version) and when I was little, I'd sneak into his bathroom to put some on myself and get yelled at for leaving the cap off. Neroli, extracted from the blossom of the bitter orange, has a calming impact that helps to strengthen the nerves and create an overall sense of positive wellbeing. Mostly older) people who really like it might use it after shaving or their morning wash up too for that extra boost. If you were raised in the middle east and ever set foot in a flower distillery, you for sure, know this smell.I'll wear this when I want something (temporarily) fresh that works *with* me, rather than a more "opinionated" composition. Staring at your perfume shelf the way other people stare at their closets or shoe racks, trying to figure out what to wear? The conscious emphasising of the light and vitalising top note of 4711 Original Eau de Cologne gives it its characteristic and pleasant fragrance. Original Eau de Cologne, launched in 1792, is apparently the cologne of all colognes - it's the one that started it all. It's not something I ever pick up like 'yes, this is what I want to smell like today', but it's something I think I'll always have around (was even eyeing up the 800ml at the chemist the other day) I dont care that it's fleeting, and simple - it's something I splash on a hot summer night, to take some freshness to bed.
