{"product_id":"4711-original-eau-de-cologne-800ml","title":"Original Eau de Cologne 800ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eNobody buys 4711 Original Eau de Cologne 800ml to try something out. This is the bottle for people who already know they will be wearing it next year, and the year after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this volume the arithmetic changes completely. A cologne is a low concentration product applied in quantity, so the small bottles vanish faster than people expect, and 800ml removes the question entirely. It is a shelf bottle, a bathroom fixture, and the thing you decant into something smaller when you are travelling light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scent inside is seven materials old enough to have shaped what most of us think clean smells like. Bergamot and lemon arrive together, one perfumed and bitter, the other sour and bracing, with orange rounding the pair of them into something friendlier. Lavender is the heart of it and the material that gives the whole composition its laundered, mildly medicinal calm, while rosemary supplies a green camphorous edge that keeps it from going sweet. At the end, neroli brings the honeyed sweetness of bitter orange blossom and petitgrain the dry bitterness of the same tree's leaves and stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays close to the skin and lasts a couple of hours, which is the format doing exactly what the format does. Use plenty of it, reapply after lunch, and do not expect it to behave like a modern eau de parfum, because it was never designed to. Men and women wear it, children have it dabbed on them before a family gathering, and it is as useful on a hot afternoon as it is in a sickroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house traces its own story to a recipe for aqua mirabilis, received as a wedding present in October 1792 according to its own account, and its name to the number the French gave the building two years later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4711","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54531833463111,"sku":"ENG1509","price":71.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng1509.jpg?v=1785965957","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/4711-original-eau-de-cologne-800ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
