it lasts on your body for like about an hour at most, I use it for freshing up after my shower usually, it's not something you can wear through out the day.

Sure, it would be awesome to be able to shed that emotional bagage and rediscover 4711 with a fresh mind, but for me, personally, it will always be a window into the past. Thankfully there are so many niche reconstructions of the original scent profile, Diptyque L’Eau de Neroli is a good starting place.Opinions differ on how much truth there is to this founding legend, but it is a fact that, beginning in 1799, Mülhens sold his ‘aqua mirabilis’ – healing miracle water – as ‘Cologne Water’, marked with the words: ‘Franz Maria Farina – Klöckergasse No. When I was a kid, right after I showered, my mom would put this on me before my pajamas and I remember feeling so clean and fresh and ready for bed.

Do yourself a favour and pick up a bottle of 4711 if you have an interest in the history of the art of perfumery, or even just if you like fresh summer fragrances. Alternatively if you are ever in a southern European country check out the local EdC scents at the supermarket, you will be surprised how more vivid they smell in comparison. Wouldn't wear it in public because of the other options I have in my closet and it's a rather fleeting fragrance.
