4711 Original Eau de Cologne Sample

The fragrance that started the "cologne" genre, originally created in Cologne, Germany in the late 1700's. Almost 200 years later, it still uses the same formula! What we think: We love the bright, sharp citrus paired with aromatic notes, and we think the quality is incredible for the price. In many ways, it doesn't smell that far off from scents that cost 10x more. Beautiful, bright, fresh, tangy, astringent citrus that feels like a summer day in a bottle. 4711 Cologne is not intended to have much projection/longevity, and is meant to be used as a light refreshing spritzer. For us, this is a must to have around on hot days. You can even keep it in the fridge!
