4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser Original Eau De Cologne, 200 ml

Product Information

Interestingly, the realism put off my partner, who said it "didn't smell like a perfume" and that it smelt to him as if he had rubbed a plain spice or herb directly onto his skin rather than a fragrance blend. Not many cultures have kept alive the cologne splash, but some Mediterraneans still know what to do with such a fragrance. 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. I use the pure one rather exceptionally, usually in combination with something stronger or straight some Colonia from AdP. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

As the sun travels its arc across the sky, so must you reapply, an hourly ritual to revive its memory. I'll wear this when I want something (temporarily) fresh that works *with* me, rather than a more "opinionated" composition. Keep a bottle in there so after you wash your hands and face or whatever you can splash some on your neck or chest and smell nice. Being the first cologne created, and as a bonus, was very affordable, wanted this as part of my collection. This is a frugal guy who doesn’t really care for fragrance or understand my interest in it, so he said, “if this was good enough for the emperor, it’s good enough for me.The first fragrance in history, eau de cologne 4711 created in 1792, iconic, historical, one of a kind. It's not a sexy perfume but still putting some on after a shower would feel very nice and refreshing.

As others have mentioned, it's not super potent, and, IMO, it has better longevity in the summer than winter. It’s actually really nice mixed with a basic white musk in the hot weather when you really can’t bear to wear much else. Overall a lovely smell that will suit just about anyone, but of course don't expect to get any compliments as it's very quiet and brief!It's probably suitable for men and women above the age of 30 but "old souls" in their 20s can absolutely wear this magnificent fragrance. In the 1950s, the brand erected the "Blue and Gold Building" across from Cologne Cathedral, as well as a brand new manufacturing plant. I would also wish that the water would last as long as many newfangled perfumes On the other side it is not difficult to drip water on the other side, but only a little bit. Top notes are Lemon, Bergamot and Orange; middle notes are Lavender and Rosemary; base notes are Neroli and Petitgrain. To this day, the exact composition of the classic fragrance 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser Eau de Cologne is a secret.
