4711 by 4711 Cologne 5.0 Oz

Great. I’ve been wearing since I was on high school.

I have loved this stuff since I was a kid and my mom told me about it. When I wear it, I am always complimented on the crisp, clean, fragrance.

Our family has been using this for years! It is a natural perfume that smells fresh and never gives a bad skin reaction. Read the history of how it was made - very interesting!

My grandmother that's from Germany used to wear this, brought back a lot of memories!!!

I purchased the 3.4 oz. Bottle just to try it out. I received it today, the smell is awesome however it doesn’t last very long. I tested it on my arm and it dissipated after 20 minutes. I took a shower and applied moisturizer on my neck and used 30 sprays and it boosted it. 3 hours later I can still smell it faintly. It is definitely a summer scent so this should perform a little better with the help of a moisturizer but very clean, fresh, and citrusy. Kinda smells like a lemon scented dusting spray without the chemical smell really good scent.

Smells great, works great

I wanted to really like this fragrance. I did my homework, read reviews etc. I splashed this on and ew, not so much. I'm 62 and all I could think of was my mom's cupboard of Jean Nate. I splashed some more - let's be patient ... still nope and the fragrance was gone - longevity was zero. Even as an ODT ...should have lasted more than an hour. Disappointed. **Quick and safe shipping

Okay so I notice a lot of the poor reviews are due to the longevity of the cologne and I wanted to address that in my review. This cologne was invented in 1792 and keeps the same recipe and ingredients (which is why I purchased it). Back in the 18th century colognes and perfumes were not used like how they are today where you wear them to go to the club. They were made to prevent you from smelling bad and also as a status symbol. If you want a cologne that stands out the moment you walk into a room I recommend you go and buy a 170 dollar bottle of Versace Eros or Dior Sauvage. Those are "make a statement" fragrances. 4711 is a subtle "fresh citrus" smelling fragrance that isn't overbearing. It makes you smell clean and fresh (that's the best way I can put it). It's not a statement maker, it's not designed to set you apart, and it's not designed to go clubbing. It's designed to make you smell pleasant and not bad. I found the longevity to not be terrible. I applied some liberally on my skin and shirt and on the skin it lasted about 3-4 hours. On my shirt it lasted a LOT longer. If you want a lot more longevity I recommend splashing some on the collar of your shirt to last most of the day. However because this is a classic old cologne it is designed to work better when it mixes with your natural odor. I find it smells totally different on me than on my friends. On my friends it's like buying a different cologne every time. However on clothes it smells the same consistently. So be warned if you splash it on clothes it will last longer but smell like it does out of bottle. All in all as a huge history nerd I love that I'm wearing a 300 year old cologne that was invented a year before Marie Antoinette passed on. As a guy I love that it makes me smell fresh and clean and well put together and doesn't make a huge statement. It's got great scent at a great price point and one bottle should last a good while. It gets a 9/10 for me.

This did not last more than five minutes The smell just faded away

Känt märke som jag haft sen jag var ung och älskar. Nu 90 behövde jag köpa mer. Bästa pris på Amazon.

Man muss es halt mögen: Meine Frau schüttelt sich, meine 91-jährige Mutter freut sich.

Super content, je retrouve les senteurs d'antan. Encore un peu chère pour de l'eau de Cologne pour la quantité. Mais paraît il quand on aime on ne compte pas.

Das Duftwasser 4711 gab es schon zu Goethes Zeiten, und obwohl viele es unbewusst mit ihrer Oma assoziieren, stimmt das nicht. Der frische, citrusgeprägte Duft ist wirklich zeitlos und richtig toll. Ich nehme dieses Eau de Cologne vor allem an heißen Sommertagen: etwas auf ein Papiertaschentuch geben, Stirn und Nacken damit kühlen - herrlich! Man kann es auch zur Schnell-Desinfektion für unterwegs verwenden, es riecht jedenfalls um Klassen besser als Desinfektionsmittel für die Handtasche.
