"Refreshing, light, and crisp. Always reminds me of my Oma ❤️"

A Splash of History
4711 Original Eau de Cologne is a timeless fragrance that has refreshed the body, mind, and spirit for over 228 years. A true icon of perfumery, its closely guarded formula combines invigorating citrus, aromatic herbs, and delicate florals to create a scent that is both uplifting and soothing. Presented in the classic Molanus splash bottle, this traditional format lets you pour the fragrance into your hands and gently apply it to your neck and temples for an instantly refreshing, revitalizing experience.
Bright notes of lemon, bergamot, and orange awaken the senses, while lavender and rosemary bring a calming herbal balance. The fragrance settles into soothing neroli and petitgrain, creating a clean, refreshing finish that promotes a sense of comfort and well-being.

Put a few drops of the original Eau de Cologne in your hands, rub them together and breathe deeply. Also moisten your neck and temples with the scent.

The old is new again
"Never heavy always clean great for everyday. Unisex scent. This splash on cologne may be centuries old but is as new and fresh as tomorrow."
So much more! THE classic scent for everybody and every body.
"4711’s tagline is “so much more than just a fragrance,” and that’s doubly true in this case, because Merz/Smallflower is the only place I’ve found locally that carries this size. You all have just brightened my entire year, kept it within my budget, and I’ll be back again soon."
