Original Deodorant Spray 150ml
If you already know what 4711 Original Deodorant Spray 150ml smells like, the only real question is whether you want a second can, and at this size the answer for most regular users is yes. The scent is the one the house has sold longest. Lemon leads, hard and clean, with bergamot giving it depth and orange rounding off the sharp corner. Lavender comes through next and is the backbone of the thing, that soapy herbal quality which has signalled a freshly washed man for well over a century. Rosemary sits beside it, greener and more resinous, and keeps the citrus honest.
Neroli and petitgrain make the finish. Neroli is the orange blossom itself, soft and sweetly floral, while petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs and brings a dry, bitter green edge. Together they leave a trace on the skin that is recognisably the cologne rather than a generic clean smell, and that is the whole reason to buy a scented deodorant from a perfume house instead of a chemist's own label. As a grooming product it behaves exactly as it should. Spray on dry skin, let it settle, and expect the scent to be close and gone within a few hours. Nothing about it is designed for projection and it will sit politely under anything else you wear. A 150ml can is the standard household size, which is why it tends to be bought two at a time or kept as the spare in a travel bag, and it is an easy thing to add to an order for somebody else, since almost nobody dislikes it.
Behind the number is a Cologne street address, given to the Muelhens house by French occupying forces back in 1794. The firm later made the figure its trademark, in 1875, having previously traded under the Farina name until it was stopped from doing so in 1873.
