4711 Original 300ml Eau de Cologne Splash for Unisex

4711 Original Eau de Cologne by 4711 is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men, originally launched in 1792. Created by Wilhelm Muelhens, it is one of the oldest and most iconic fragrances in perfumery history. Renowned for its refreshing citrus character and uplifting aromatic profile, 4711 has remained a timeless classic for over two centuries.

Fresh, invigorating, and instantly recognisable, 4711 Original Eau de Cologne was designed to revitalise both body and mind. Its light concentration and sparkling composition make it particularly suited to spring and summer, as well as frequent daytime refreshing throughout the day.

The classic composition opens with a bright blend of lemon, bergamot, and orange. These citrus notes provide an immediate burst of freshness and vitality, creating the signature uplifting effect that has made 4711 famous worldwide.

At the heart, rosemary and lavender introduce an aromatic herbal character. Rosemary adds crisp freshness, while lavender contributes a calming and elegant quality that balances the lively citrus opening.

The fragrance settles into a soft finish of neroli and petitgrain. Neroli provides a delicate floral-citrus sweetness, while petitgrain adds a subtle green bitterness that enhances the fragrance’s clean and refreshing nature.

How to Apply:

Apply generously to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and chest.

Avoid rubbing after application, as this can alter the fragrance's development. For wrist application, apply after hand washing for best results.
