Eau de Cologne

4711 Original Eau de Cologne is a classic citrus cologne from the house of 4711, presented in a generous 400ml bottle. Its character is bright and clean, led by a dominant citrus opening that feels sparkling and immediate on the skin.

The first impression is of cheerful, zesty freshness, with a sharp lift that settles into a more aromatic middle. Herbal and lavender-toned notes give the fragrance a quiet, green structure, while a gentle spiciness adds warmth without weight. The effect is airy and uncomplicated, the kind of scent that feels crisp in the morning and clean through the day.

As a cologne, it sits lighter than an eau de parfum or eau de toilette, and it tends to stay close to the skin. It generally wears softly and does not linger for long, so it is best reapplied during the day if you want a steady refresh. Its brisk character suits warm weather especially well, though it is wearable in every season.

It is versatile enough for professional settings, relaxed everyday wear and an evening out, and its lack of gender specificity makes it an easy choice for anyone who enjoys a clean, traditional citrus.

Bright, zesty notes of lemon, bergamot and orange

The 4711 brand storybegins in 1792 when merchant Wilhelm Mülhens received a secret recipe for "aqua mirabilis" (miracle water) as a wedding gift from a Carthusian monk, which he began selling as an invigorating health elixir.

After French troops occupied Cologne in 1796 and introduced house numbering, Mülhens's manufactory in Glockengasse was assigned the number 4711.

He soon began marketing the product as 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser (Original Eau de Cologne), adopting the memorable house number to distinguish his fragrance.

The distinctive Molanus bottle was introduced in 1820, and the brand achieved global recognition and is still produced today by Mäurer & Wirtz, maintaining its iconic citrus-floral scent.
