Floral Collection Jasmine
Tea is the material that makes 4711 Floral Collection Jasmine Eau de Cologne 100ml more than another white floral, and it is there from the first minute.
It is dry, leafy and faintly astringent, closer to leaves in hot water than to anything sweetened, and it sits alongside bergamot in the opening so the first impression is bitter and clean. Jasmine then takes over and holds the middle for as long as the fragrance lasts, rich and full with the faintly animal edge the real material always has. Neroli lightens it with a bright, soapy white floral quality that keeps the heart from becoming heavy as the hours go on.
The close is soft. Musk keeps everything against the skin, cedarwood lends a dry framework, and tonka bean adds a powdery sweetness with a quiet bitter undertone, so the drydown is warm without being sugary.
Alexandra Kalle is credited with the composition. Seven materials, a cologne concentration and a 100ml bottle make this a fragrance for regular use: two or three hours of clear wear, applied without counting the sprays, and topped up in the afternoon if you feel like it. It is a bottle to keep on a dressing table rather than in a cupboard.
It reads as feminine, suits daytime and warm weather, and is an easy choice for someone who likes jasmine but would rather not be announced by it across a room. 4711 is an eau de cologne house that traces its beginnings to October 1792 and a recipe for an aqua mirabilis, said to have been a wedding gift to the merchant Wilhelm Muelhens. It traded for decades under the Farina name, borrowed from an older house, until it was forbidden from doing so in 1873.
