4711 by Muelhens Eau de Cologne Splash 6.8 oz

I used to get this from my mother-in-law when she went to Germany. It is my favorite. And I did not realize how inexpensive it is. And it has some citronella in it. And that is great to keep away bugs. It’s the best cologne perfume there is and fragrant and Light. And men can use it or woman. And my husband loves it too.

I saw this at a plane toilet once and lived the way it smelled so took a photo and was happy to find it here. I put it in my bathroom

I have been using this since I was little. In fact my whole family uses this especially during summer. It is very refreshing and coolingVery pleasant scent.

We usually buy this in Germany and its a fantastic scent. One of the original colognes from cologne Germany! Its very clean smelling. I don’t like most fragrances, this is not cheap or too strong.

This is a lovely fresh scent to sprtitz on in summer – and it has the advantage that it cools as it evaporates, which is lovely on a hot summer day.

I’m wondering if this is a copycat frangrance? Well, its not even close. Ordered this for my husband for Christmas because I learned of it back in the “70’s and loved it. It was a distinct fragrance not like most others. Let me say it smells like nothing more than alcohol? So disappointed!

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.

Longevity is modest and preferred. Smells clean and is subtle after the invigorating splash. Hard to find new scents with these sensible qualities.

This is just the way it was years ago. It hasn’t been adulterated in any way. Even the container is the same. A great product with a fantastic perfume.

Product was as expected. However when the product arrived it was obvious that the box had been ripped open during transport. Nothing was missing and the product was still in its original package. No explanation was given for the ripped open box.

Just after shaving i like the smooth fragrance.

I find the history of 4711 quite interesting; made since 1792, same formula, unisex, and Napoleon wore it (ha ha). These scent is enchanting. You get a good sized bottle for your money. The only drawback I see is I can’t smell it on myself very long, but I am going to see what kind of trick I can find to make the scent stay. In spite of that, I love it.

Kind of like an old timey barber shop after shave lotion. Fresh & clean smell. Big bottle last a long time. I put it into a 4 oz. spray bottle, easier to handle & less spillage!

This perfume is known in my family to be good for those who are sensitive to perfumes. Does not cause headaches to our sensitive peeps. This beautiful bottle is small, great for purse etc. The scent is light, soft, and sweet.

This is a classic scent. Fresh and refreshing. Not overwhelming and doesn’t last a long time.

This size of 4711, especially if you already have the small Atomizer version. I use rthis one to refill the atomizer, letting almost none of it go to waste. ***** !I’ve been using 4711 for seventy years, since my grandparents sent me a small atomizer from the Rhine River, where the had lived until 1910, when they came to America to raise their large family. They lived in Mason City , Iowa, for another five decades. We often fdrove from Toledo to Mason city to visit our Ioway friends and relatives, including the Bill Bühlers, the Keisters, the Webers, and the Broers of Clear Lake. 4711 brings back more memories for me that did madeleines bring back for Proust!

This scent brings back memories of childhood for me and my husband. I love the citrus tones. It reminds me of a good gin and tonic.
