Remix California Feeling
Set beside the plain cologne the house is known for, 4711 Remix California Feeling Eau de Cologne 100ml is a much more floral and much sweeter proposition, and that is the whole reason it exists.
The opening is still citrus, but a different sort. Bitter orange leads with a rind sharpness that has genuine edge to it, mandarin orange follows softer and juicier, and bergamot sits between them doing its usual job of smoothing one into the other. Within a couple of minutes the flowers arrive, and they arrive properly rather than as decoration. Rose is the dominant one, full and slightly jammy rather than cool and green. Orange blossom runs alongside it, honeyed and a little waxy, and jasmine adds the richer, almost creamy note that gives the middle its weight. It is a generous heart for a cologne, which usually keeps its flowers brief.
What makes it memorable is the raspberry underneath. Used sparingly, as it is here, raspberry reads as tart and slightly seedy rather than as syrup, and it catches the rose in a way that makes both read brighter. Amber warms the base and musk softens everything into the skin, so the last stage is quietly sweet rather than flat.
Leonardo Lucheze composed it. At cologne strength it is light on its feet, two or three hours before it drops back, with a soft trail afterwards, so apply it liberally and again later if you want it. It leans feminine, works best from spring through to early autumn, and suits daytime better than evening.
The company that makes it has been in the eau de cologne business under the same number since the eighteenth century, when occupying French troops gave the Muelhens house in Cologne the street number 4711. The figure outlasted the occupation and became the trademark in 1875.
