Original
4711 Eau de Cologne is a classic citrus fragrance from the house of 4711, with a bright, aromatic character that feels fresh and clean from the first moment. Its opening is dominated by sparkling citrus, with a zesty, sunny brightness that quickly gives way to softer herbal and aromatic tones. A calming green heart and a gently spiced, aromatic base round the composition out, so it reads as crisp at first and gradually more rounded as it settles on the skin.
This is a light, uplifting scent with a sense of quiet composure. It tends to sit close to the skin and carries softly, so it suits personal wear, close company and everyday settings rather than making a strong impression across a room. Its weight is modest and its lasting power is brief, so it is best reapplied during longer days.
Because it is an eau de cologne, it is naturally lighter than an eau de parfum and feels right in warmer months as well as cooler ones. Its cheerful freshness suits daytime errands, work, relaxed outings and evenings out alike, and it is designed to be worn across all seasons and by anyone who enjoys a clean, classic citrus character.
