Why is 4711 still SO GOOD?

[@MJeffSantos]

To me, this is the perfect fragrance to use after a shower and just chill at home. Great scent, light and very inexpensive.

[@alejandrobustamante7964]

Exactly, I use it exclusively at home…it’s a private pleasure👆

[@littleboots9800]

I love this! I'm a woman in my 40s that has always loved fresh scents and I use this so much in the summer and have since my teens. I buy it in the bottle, the aerosol spray, the stick and wipes. It's clean, invigorating, zingy and will wake you up for sure.

[@mickm2486]

In Europe (perticularly Germany) it's not uncommon to see this in people's bathrooms and it's acceptable for guests to freshen up etc. My grandmother was German and kept this in her bathroom constantly. I feel like it's a previous generations habit, but yeah still around. I have a bottle in the bathroom for exactly that reason.

[@juliawacker]

You can assume that some people take a peek in your bathroom cabinet but the only things guests are allowed to use are hand soap, a towel and maybe rooms spray and sanitizer. If you want to refresh yourself, ask for certain things or use your own stuff. It would be very disrespectful to excuse yourself only to appear with your hosts perfume and lipstick on. Dont do it or dont get caught.

[@danlutter8061]

I love using it after shaving. I just wish it lasted for more than 47 seconds, but then again, it's easy to spray a fragrance on after using it because it won't clash with anything.

Living in humid S.Florida, I use this as a cold splash in the Summer. Love it!

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

4711 is a masterpiece! One of my favourite perfumes! It's timeless and classy like Adp Colonia which is my other favourite, smells very similar but lasts a lot longer!

[@SPACEDOUT19]

in terms of scent, this is a masterpiece. its so gorgeous.

[@duaneburd9350]

Neroli Potafino TF is an incredible scent I'm excited to get this now I ordered 4711 blind because I did a search on old colognes but I have had every Tom Ford type available and by far my two picks are tobacco oud and Neroli Potafino great video man!

[@samconnecticut1485]

Just got my first bottle. Nice fresh clean refreshing smell, nothing spectacular but nice. If I had to describe it, it be a bar of Ivory Soap with lemon juice. Also, occasionally it reminds me of Coppertone tanning lotion. I know, those two descriptions are totally different, weird. But mostly the Ivorysoap/lemon.

I use to be a frag-head. But that's an infinite rabbit hole. Now I just use 4711. I'll never need anything else. 🍋🍊

[@rolo4945]

My grandmother used to buy this in huge bottles, used as a spray on all her linen.

[@gizmomac1520]

I just bought it! After shower, just tried it and my gosh! It's amazing. Even without as a spray just pour and rub and pat it anywhere! Wow! Smells so gooood

[@decnijfkris3706]

4711 exists also in an all day lasting scent as a spray bottle. I have it and not only older women come closer to me but also young chicks? Very recommendable.

I love this cologne! Been using it since the early 1970’s ! Fantastic Bottle - Fantastic scent - great history! But •••• I call it my “ heart breaker “ cologne because it only lasts for about one to two hours on my skin.

[@justaddlight]

I actually spray it above me before I sit down to read and let it rain down. ♫ "Let it raaaaaaain, oh let it raaAAaain..."♫ 😄 Puts me in a lively state of mind for efficient information assimilation. That sounded like the borg. What I meant to say was.....resistance is futile. Just buy it. And experience 471.1 seconds of citrusy goodness. 🍋

[@KimSirius]

I used to wear this back in the 80's and now I'm out to find it again!

[@maxxville94]

I'm very german and this is the scent I grew up with and know even by my elder relatives. There's probably never gonna be another one for me. I just love it.

[@bernadettesmail8750]

They throw tiny samples during the cologne carnival parade... at least in the '90s they did. My grandma had a 4711 stick in get bathroom to apply for headaches.

[@jeremyhinze8837]

People used to drink this stuff too, like a tonic, so I've read. It was touted as some kind of miracle water with internal medicinal properties. Can you believe that?

I think it's because the notes in this are timeless, we have citrus, lavender rosemary and of course the star player in this frag is Neroli, the other notes are used in hundreds of other frags, so I would call 4711 a Neroli based cologne, obviously if you are not fond of neroli then you wont like this one. in general though it is mass appealing freshie, so I guess that is why it's still around.

[@waitasecond...]

I have 2 bottles of these and the scent is definitely fleeting. I prefer something lingering. So I use this to mix with some fragrant oils since it had alcohol to help emulsify the scents in the fragrant oil mix, and the oil will hold the 4711 scent longer in return, although the scents would definitely mux and change. But the change is pleasant anyway.

[@cgrw1]

Multiple generations of my family applied this topically to the stomach when suffering from stomach pain. Weirdly, the evaporation & inhaling copious amounts of vapour (from applying to such a large & warm area) does indeed distract from the immediate discomfort :')

[@ForestRoute]

I love it. I use it as my aftershave.

[@FragranceBros]

perfect use for that!

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

I think I saw a variation of 4711 on Amazon, branded as 4711 but with a stronger, longer lasting fragrance made by the same European company. I must recheck in Amazon to be sure. By the way, while in Amsterdam some time back there was a HUGE lighted sign near the canal that simply read 4711...the same way it appears on the bottle and its box. Nothing more...just 4711! It was beautiful to see at night. When I say huge my lady and I were awestruck at how large it was against the night sky. Of course it needed nothing else to say of it. If you were hip to it you'd automatically know that this giant lit advert was a reminder of the fragrance, and I'm sure that most Europeans know about this cologne. Cheers! 🙏♐

[@GGoAwayy]

I bought a bottle online and didnt realize $30 gets you a JUG of the stuff. Im going to have to invent some more uses for it.

Great quick review! I will try it

[@leogeee1]

My Dutch mother, grandmother, great-grandmother etc. used 4711 probably since 1792. Before deodorant people freshened their "hankies" and kept it in their pockets if they didn't apply it directly to their pulse points. Yes it is still relevant. Refreshing, unisex and inexpensive.

[@FragranceCraft]

So true 🎉

[@FragranceCraft]

My german grandma had it, I have their modern variants, will get this one, once I m in Germany again ...

[@lululangford]

It is the best. I have used it for more than 50 years - but the newer fragrances are AWFUL!!! They actually make me physically sick and the strong toxic smell sticks to everything (unlike 4711 which is so mild you often wish it could last longer). The reason I could wear 4711 is because I am sensitive to perfumes and this was the one exception. I bought the range of new fragrances and every single one of them made me feel sick. I can't even use them for a room deodoriser because my granddaughter starts sneezing and coughing and needs antihistamines. It seems that the company have now joined the regular toxic perfume industry. NOT happy! And now that they seem to have sold out to perfume suppliers all over the world, there is no longer a central website. At first I thought someone else had tried to copy 4711 but apparently they are the real deal. I hope it does not change the beautiful original.
