4711 Eau de Cologne-Watch Bottle – 25 ml

This is an old favourite, especially in the summer – but it sometimes difficult to get hold of. I was very pleased to get a large bottle for a relatively low price.

I got this for my sisters birthday on requested and she really likes it. She says it’s not too strong but the scent lasts for quite a while. Apparently refreshing to use on a hot days as well. (Though Lord knows how she knows this as it’s month since we had a hot day!)

This is a classic product I have used for many years. 4711 was worn by many generations of my family especially my Victorian grannie, great aunt and great uncle all used this cologne which has been on the market since 1792 It is a lightly fragranced cologne suitable for both sexes although it has a masculine smell. It’s particularly good after shaving. This is my daily aftershave and I get many compliments about it. My Wifelette also likes the fragrance which is an added bonus. As for the price, it is considerably cheaper here than on the high street. I decant the cologne into a plastic atomiser which makes it easier to use and I think more economical, although at these prices you can be fairly liberal!. I suffer from occasional migraines, and I find 4711 cool stick, also available here comforting when rubbed liberally on the forehead and temples. Again it is cheaper than many menthol sticks available from a chemist, and it lasts just as long. I can recommend this product, which has, by the way been around 1792, I wonder how many modern, overpowering mens fragrances will stand the test of time.
