It sits in the opening with lemon for brightness, mango for a soft tropical sweetness, mate for a dry herbal bitterness and green pepper for a vegetal snap, and the combination is savoury and fruity at the same time, which is rare. The middle sweetens a little. Papaya is soft and musky and mild, lily of the valley adds a green watery floral, lavender a clean herbal note and geranium a green sharpness that keeps the fruit honest. By the end it has settled into something altogether calmer, with amber and musk supplying a gentle warmth, cedarwood a dry backbone, vetiver an earthy rootiness and petitgrain a last bitter green lift. Fourteen materials is a generous build for a cologne and it shows, because the scent moves about more than the usual citrus splash does. At this concentration, though, it is still a light thing. Use it freely, expect two or three hours of clarity and a soft trail afterwards, and keep the bottle somewhere you will reach for it in the morning. It reads unisex, belongs to warm days and daylight, and is a good choice for anyone bored of ordinary citrus. Natalie Gracia-Cetto is the perfumer, and a hundred millilitres is the standard pour for this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house has sold eau de cologne under the number 4711 since the eighteenth century, the figure being the one French occupiers assigned to its premises in 1794, though its founder traded under the Farina name until a court put a stop to it in 1873.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4711","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53297211343175,"sku":"BTS385398","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts385398.webp?v=1770508753","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/4711-acqua-colonia-lychee-and-white-mint-eau-de-cologne-100ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
