However I pick up an herbal scent that is to me is not very appealing and makes it smell almost medicinal. As the sun travels its arc across the sky, so must you reapply, an hourly ritual to revive its memory.

Overall very fresh and soapy, a little airy, a little green - a citrus cologne delivering a "barber-fresh" aroma. This short review aims to highlight the timeless appeal and positive experience of using this fragrance based on my family's experience. Unfortunately we are no longer able to send to France, Germany, Norway, Slovakia or Sweden due to customs regulations. 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.They mention that it smells amazing, it has a nice glass bottle, and it works well for occassions or everyday wear. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons. I recently purchased the 4711 Original Eau De Cologne in the 300ml size, and it has become a favorite in my household. And let me tell you that stuff has some nose-unclogging qualities in it when you take a direct sniff like that. Yes, it doesn't last long but there are lots of fragrances that cost way more and last the same or even worse.

I got introduced to this as a child by my late aunt Mary, who used it all her life mainly to freshen up during long train journeys, which is why we always had a bunch of travel size bottles to toss in our purses. What I want when the weather is oppressively humid or hot, when I have olfactory fatigue, or when my tummy hurts! When she died a few years ago, I got her bottle and discovered that I actually really loved the scent (citrus base is my fav) I don't often deviate from my usual cedar scent, but today I noticed something and I had to comment about it. Clearly neroli based, but never sweet or fleshily floral - there’s are crisp, sharp, cool herbal petitgrain counter balance that I have only ever found elsewhere in Guerlain’s Imperiale and few Santa Maria Novellas. If you apply a lot at once--especially on fabric, I find a masculine base of lavender and rosemary emerges (think mid-tone of Rosemary, not top aromatic).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.

I am certain this was once stunning, in Köln in the 1800s, but currently it smells completely hollow. Additionally, I find it useful from a historical perspective; as I continue to learn about perfume and study individual samples, I appreciate having one of the oldest (yet still in production) commercially available fragrances on hand to compare the art of fragrance today to the way it was hundreds of years ago. The only problem I have with it is that the opening reminds me of laundry bleach when first sprayed on my skin.I also spray it on my hands and inhale as indicated on the box and it's a just a simple luxurious treat!

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. Some say that the scent is timeless and refreshing, and that it brings back so many lovely memories. Original Eau de Cologne was formulated in 1792 whilst the instantly recognisable 'Molanus' flacon was created by Peter Heinrich Molanus in 1820.

I know it's vintage, smells old and so on, but to me it's a genuine antidepressant, and I hope I get old enough to bathe in it. Being now in Germany, of course, I couldn't stop adding to my collection, again because I already had it in the past, a bottle of this cologne. It is a great spring/summer fragrance indeed, it reminds me of another neroli cheapie Just Jack Neroli.
