4711 Original Eau de Cologne Splash - 100 ml

Lovely scent

I wood Recommend this to anybody else to buy 4711 Original eau de Cologne I use to buy YEARS a go in. Boot

I really love the smell of this scent - I'm a fan of citrus scents, and the citrus of this, combined with the bergamot and peach make it truly refreshing. It's also a classic scent, so it might also speak to the memory side of your brain!This bottle gives a good amount. However, the neck of the bottle is so small that you can pretty much tip it upside down and nothing comes out. Applying it to the skin this way does not therefore give enough scent to last - I feel it stays for a few short hours. I find that decantering into an atomizer makes a difference, as you can spray more onto you over a larger area. The difficulty is that you can't simply pour the liquid from the bottle into the atomizer because the neck is so slim, so I've been siphoning it into the atomizer with an extremely slim straw (which is, unfortunately, shorter than the bottle, so I'm going to have to find another solution once I use up enough to make the remaining liquid unattainable..).Tenflyer 10ML Perfume Atomizer Refillable Mini Perfume Bottle Red/Blue/Purple/Sliver/Pink/Yellow (Purple)

Exactly as advertised, arrived well packaged and on time.

Many years ago I can remember my late grandmother and my Mum using this, but I could never remember what it was called, but could always remember the still and design of the label.So when I was looking for a fragrance for a gift the other day, guess what I found out the fragrance I loved as a child was called “4711 Original Eau de Cologne Splash”, so I was really please and decided to treat myself.It arrived well packed from Amazon, so the bottle was still in one piece. :-)They still use the same lovely branded boxes that I remember from childhood.The cologne is in a glass bottle with the branded label on the front. The firm still uses a metal top which is in gold and red and has a red branded label round the lid, (the top was very tight so it took a little time to open it) and the 4711 is on top of the lid.4711 is a traditional German Eau de Cologne by Maurer & Wirtz which has been around for 222 years, the firm has a large range that also includes deodorant, aftershave and soap. :-)It uses essential oils and has an aromatheraputic effect.The top notes are orange oil, peach, basil, bergamot and lemon. Its middle notes are cyclamen, lily, melon, jasmine and bulgarian rose. The base notes are patchouli, tahitian vetiver, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss and cedar.It’s a classic and can be used by both women and men.I can remember as a child when I didn’t feel well or had trouble sleeping it was always something my late grandmother and Mum used to place on my temples to help relax me.I still find this relaxing and calming today, (so besides using lavender I can also use this as well).

4711, it has a nice fresh scent, but for me unfortunately, I found it wore off rather quickly. The packaging was also ok and the 100 ml bottle is a nice size for the price.

I last saw this years ago & just had to buy some for a friend. Knew if they didn’t like it then I would reclaim. Unfortunately they like it, so it looks like I’m going to have to get my own soon.It still smells the same as it did all those years ago (at least 40+).

I bought a bottle of 4711 after discovering that it was very popular in the 1950s, which is my favourite decade. I highly recommend this product because I think the scent is a delightful, timeless classic. I would, however, try the scent before buying this product because it smells slightly different to what I imagined. I think it smells very citrusy and it has a sort of musty tang to it when it is first applied; the ,longer you leave it on, the nicer the scent becomes. It is strong when you first apply it but then becomes more subtle by the end of the day. This bottle of 4711 is extremely good value-I haven't seen it cheaper anywhere else; it also lasts a long time because I have been using it for months now and I still have lots left! the packaging is wonderful, it has a traditional and grand air to it and looks lovely on my shelf. I highly recommend this product.
