4711by Muelhens Original Eau de Cologne 13.5 fl oz (400 ml)

I've used this cologne for many, many years and absolutely love it. It's not over-powering like nobody is going to smell it after I've left the room. I think it mellows on the skin and lasts because I can splash it on my wrists and neck in the morning and get hugs in the afternoon and been told I smell good. I've read it was Geo. Washington's fav....It's classy, you get good value for the price, it's light, clean scent is right for any body...

Fresh and classic aroma that makes me feel clean

I use 4711 as a bug deterrent. I splash on ankles and neck after shower and let dry then splash more when I head outside. Smell is light and refreshing. It has citronella oil as one of its ingredients.

Use to wear this in High school years back , the smell on this one is not as strong as I remember it . Almost can’t smell it . Though happy the bottle look is still used. Doesn’t stay on long like the one long ago .

The fragrance doesn't last long but it smells so good. It's citrus and herbs, fresh and bright.

I kept hearing about this scent 4711, so I had to give it a try. It's been around since 1796 and it does smell pretty good.I think Tom Ford copied this scent for his "Neroli Portofino," because it is very similar, but his lasts a lot longer and is about 100 times the price of 4711 BY MUELHENS. The scent is light and smells like Bergamot mixed with other stuff. It's clean, but not crisp, warm, without being overly spicy. It is a refreshing scent.This 13.5 OZ bottle is huge for cologne, however, the scent does NOT last very long (maybe less than 30-minutes). I think this is by design (I could be wrong), but my uncle told me (on a recent trip to Vienna) that many old apartment buildings --especially those since WW2 and before-- don't have bathtubs or showers. And many poor and elderly people live in them and they don't even have their own toilet; they must share one. Most people in this situation only bathe once a week or so because they must use public baths, which cost money.Since 4711 was created during a time when only the very wealthy in Europe could afford indoor plumbing maybe this was used as a deodorizer type product. So by splashing it on the body it would eliminate offensive odors without just masking them like some cheap fragrances where one could end up with body odor on top of whatever the scent is.I could be wrong about this, but that's my guess. This is the first time I'm smelling it so I can't compare with previous experience. If you're looking for something very light this is a good product. It doesn't last very long at all, even less than DEMETER fragrances, so keep that in mind.It can be used by both genders.

I love it

This is honestly one of the best colognes I've ever smelled. Super refreshing and light, only downside is you need to reapply often but that's not an issue with just a simple small bottle. Has a very welcoming scent, almost reminded me of Bombay without harsh alcohol but all those lovely citrus notes, this bottle will last a while and when I run out I'll buy more for sure
