Lemon, bergamot and orange open it, a straightforward citrus trio in which each one is doing a different job: lemon for the sharpness, bergamot for the slightly perfumed bitterness, orange for the sweet edge that makes it pleasant rather than merely clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLavender and rosemary follow and give it an age that the citrus alone would not. Lavender here is the soapy, laundered sort rather than the heavy floral sort, and rosemary adds the green resinous lift of a herb rubbed between the hands. Neroli brings a soft white flowered sweetness at the end and petitgrain cuts across it with a bitter, stemmy dryness, and that final pairing is what keeps the finish interesting instead of flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn wear it is modest. A cologne concentration carries a light oil load, so it stays close and fades within a couple of hours, and that is precisely why it works for people who find modern fragrance overbearing. It is safe in a hospital, on a plane, in an open plan office and around someone who has a headache. Children have it dabbed on them, older people have worn it all their lives, and plenty in between keep a bottle for mornings when nothing else seems right. The 100ml size is the one most households settle on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe firm that makes it spent years trading under the Farina name to borrow the reputation of an older Cologne house, a practice it was stopped from continuing in 1873. Two years after that the number it had been using became its registered trademark instead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4711","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55584508969287,"sku":"ENG223893","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng223893.jpg?v=1793087472","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/de\/products\/4711-original-eau-de-cologne-100ml-eng223893","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
