SMELLING THE FIRST COLOGNE EVER MADE!!! 4711 First Impression! Good in 2023? with

[@iiiiiccccc]

My grandma would sprinkle some on a handkerchief and give it to me when I felt nauseous. Really worked.

[@philpal18]

Try Tom Ford’s Neroli Portifino it’s his version of 4711. Big price difference of course for a similar vibe.

[@BoysGotit]

Don’t want to be that person but John Maria farina eau de cologne was actually the first cologne made in 1709. 4711 was very popular and heavily marketed as original eau de cologne so that’s where the confusion comes into play. 4711 wasn’t created until 1792. Both created in cologne Germany just decades apart..

[@finnfuchs879]

As you said, very natural and absolutely timeless. It indeed doesnt last for long, but thats what a cologne is made for, rather a refreshing splash than an actual parfume. It is a very comforting scent without a real alike.

[@6900pilot]

Its a lovely fresh smell straight after a shave or a shower, some guys dont want to be stinking of aftershave all day long it suits me, lovely in the summer.

[@killerjhul]

Neroli Portofino is the smooth blend of this cologne. 4711 lasts 2 hours tops. Cheap enough to carry an atomizer with you for a quick refresh

[@profound369]

I think that's what this is made for. 800ml for 20 something dollars, also weak, mostly only top notes so purely for freshening..if this is my scent of the day I'm going with 100 or so sprays per wear split up through the day

[@killerjhul]

@profound369 good plan lol. And 4711 is a great scent, just gotta carry that atomizer with you on the go because it WILL require refresh after refresh. It's inexpensive enough to just buy a bottle and leave it wherever...car, office, second car, home, bathroom, the club, the bar lol. Just leave a bottle errrwhere

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

I am absolutely obsessed with this fragrance! It is absolutely beautiful! I have several bottles of it! Have it in body wash, soap, tissues and body spray! I have to layer it as it doesn't last long. I prefer old school unisex scents. ADP Colonia, L'Eau Sauvage and Guerlain's Imperiale Cologne are my other favourites and are very similar but they last longer.

[@ΔεαΚ]

I cant sadly find an unexpired one in my country... how lucky of you... they do come back in smell if you sweat or stuff which is nice tbh or anxiety

[@ΔεαΚ]

Guerlain's Imperiale Cologne the bottle has the imperial French bees on it it seems... probs the eau de cologne 4711 was the target copy

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

@@ΔεαΚ 4711 was the original. Imperiale was the copy.

[@schnerrydog]

I love this fragrance! It does fade away very quickly, but it leaves a skin scent that comes back when you splash water on your wrists or hands after applying it as a splash as a lovely refresher!

[@andream..]

I love this scent, I have used for years (I’m in my 50’s). It can be just kept on your desk as a pick me up scent in the afternoon, and my nana would let us sniff it if we had a headache, it makes sense that it helps if it was considered medicinal. Oddly enough I’ve never worn it. Thank you ladies for the history lesson though, I’ve learned something new today. 😊

[@minigouda2024]

Perfect for Summer Nights. It does not last long, but it cools and calms very well. I use it in the summer for my bedtime (hot summer nights). Desinfects also very well. You can layer it with other heavier fragrances to make them fresher and lighter. It is also available with a sprayer. Have 2 of the 800 ml bottles. 😉

[@tombogaert1015]

Making it last longer is actually really easy. First take a hot shower, after drying use scent free lotion, and then the 4711, it even last longer if you put on thin layer of vaseline before the 4711

[@medway00]

The first alcohol based perfume was 'Eau de la Reine d'Hongrie', made in the late 14th century.

[@larrynivren8139]

maybe BUT they are speaking about the REAL THING from Cologne.....

[@bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

only 1390s kids remember that shit!

[@Melony625]

The Floral Collection especially the Lilac and Jasmine Cologne are my favorites and them are very feminine Colognes

[@andrewblunts-ringwalks4508]

I own it and think it’s lovey, I brought the small bottle and now have the extra large bottle

[@Rob_Fordd]

A lot of Italian scents kind of smell like it, definitely been very influential!

[@HeritageCarriage]

When I was in high-school this was one of my favorites!!

[@dlrsnate5100]

Very cool. I just found out about this after getting into Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Maybe I’ll pick up a bottle just to learn more about the history of fragrance

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

They are very similar.

[@Harrock]

Mfks who sniffed the First batch be Like : ☠☠☠

[@rafaelgarciajr821]

Put the cologne in a spray bottle that’s what I do when I get a splash bottle

[@bikiniburger4376]

MASTERPIECE

[@elzaelianeklimademoraes1449]

Splash! So elegant, I need try it!

[@JohnSmith-fm1ht]

It is a nice scent but you could spill the whole bottle on and it would disappear within 15 minutes.

[@egirlcafemanager7119]

It smells really nice but its like 15 mins before it goes away

[@gerardgeorge]

Off subject but I always notice editing things in videos since I have been making my own and the "pop" you used when you introduced @revesdefragrance channel was so satisfying 😂

4711 is knows as a ritual water , cleanser etc used by people who practice witchcraft or in a occult as well as florida water and alcoholado.

[@ΔεαΚ]

shame on them then!

Love your passion for frags, Erica. You have such a soothing voice as well.

[@mementhusiast]

It's great but I wish they made a longer lasting eau de parfum flanker of it *with an atomizer lol

[@Popppppppy]

Acqua di S.M. Novella, is the oldest fragrance of the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella it was created in 1533.

[@aneeshvora]

Thanks for information!!

[@pkj77]

For what another KZbinr says it is the very first Cologne. first it was made to drink then Napoleon told the guy to use as fragrance or something and Napoleon was bad with names called it the 4711 street so therefore the name 4711

[@boristagesson967]

Your eyes are so captivating.

[@fanylaloca]

Where did you buy your necklace (gold choker)?

[@rg31404]

Never get the sprayer version, clumsily dropping the wrong amount every time is a ritual with 4711.

[@brenlynch4811]

Yep a classic to splash with gay abandon,on the hottest of days ,sadly it vanishes within the hour maybe less 👌🏻

[@Reffiefp]

Sorry. But 4711 is not the first cologne. "Eau de Cologne" by Farina has been produced in Cologne since 1709 and is still available today. This makes it the oldest perfume still produced in the world today. After Farina's success, Wilhelm Mülhens launched his version in 1803, which is now marketed as 4711. Today, 4711 is many times better known around the world than Farina's original. But if you want to smell like Napoleon 😉 you have to buy the original from Farina.

Well the recipe was stolen from Farina actually from what Ive read and thats how this cologne still exists in the first place..... so youre partially wrong, the Farina one hasnt been done for about 60 years then N used it

We germans hate this horrible cheap smell. It's the worst Perfum on earth. Only very old grandmas buy it. I wonder why you like it.

Because their grandmas don't wear it. They don't have that reference and unlike you are not biased.
