4711by Muelhens for Unisex - 3 Ounce EDC Spray

Here's the story: I have tried shopping for men's colognes, for myself, a number of times. Usually, I can't stand the stuff. I have taken whiffs of designer colognes, at Macy's, no less. Not really impressed. Usually, smells the same to me, like a used car salesman, with slicked back hair, and a loud suit. Kind of heavy, too. In fact, no matter where I shopped, sales, discounts outlets, nope. I got a link in my FaceBook feed to this product. I've never noticed it in stores around here- maybe I have to look harder. So I bought a tiny bottle, blind, taking a chance, for $13.70, with the tax. If I didn't like it, I figured I'd use it for car air freshener. The moment I opened it up- wow! What a difference! This is way better than the overpriced junk they are pushing! Nice and fresh. Other stuff I feel would often clash with food aromas, for example. It's marketed as 'unisex.' Really, I think the usual designer 'men's' stuff smells more effeminate. 4711, is kind of neutral/attractive. By comparison, miles better than Old Spice, and lots nicer than Royal Copenhagen. One of the better things I've spent my hard-earned cash on!

Excellent product but more so when the seller corrected the wrong product shipment and sent the correct item within a few days. They deserve twice as many stars!!!!!!

reminds me of my grandma

I really like this. My wife does not particularly. Everyone is saying citrus, orange, and woodsy scents. For me, the dominant note is floral and it is VERY honeysuckle. If you grew up around honeysuckle, you will recognize it. It's floral without being feminine. It it is fresh, bright, and fairly light. It strongly reminds me of a soap I can't quite put my finger on. It's more a quick refresh, splash-on then a lasting personal scent. I don't know how long I'll use it given that it doesn't do it for the wife (so what's the point?), but I'm happy to have tried it. Something intriguing trying the "original" cologne, and one of the oldest commercially made scents in the world.

Been wearing this cologne for many years. This is all I ever use. Never gets strong and you never have to worry about putting on too much. It's been around for hundreds of years. The Germans definitely know good quality is colognes.

I've been happily wearing this cologne all my adult life (I'm 73). And I don't mind that the scent doesn't last very long, a complaint of other buyers. It's easy to reapply it during the day if necessary. Most other men's colognes are so cloying and much too persistent. You can't wash off the smell; you apply it with your hands, then later you hold the steering wheel, and now the steering wheel smells from cologne.But the last few bottles of this that I bought have virtually no scent to them. The first time I assumed something happened to the bottle in shipping, maybe left in an un-air conditioned truck in summer heat or something. But the next bottles I bought also have almost no scent. It's almost like bottles of water. The spray version is a little better, not much; but a relative brought back a spray version from Germany where he bought it for me, and the scent is also weak and also very different from what I've been used to. Same style printed on the label.Something has gone very wrong with 4711. I wasted lots of money on three big bottles of this stuff, and now with greatest reluctance I must switch to some other cologne. I suspect the company is trying to save money by reducing the aroma-producing ingredients, but they just ruined a wonderful product.

This has a top note spritz of lemon which backs off to a creamy kind of lanolin dry down. But layered underneath, you get just a whiff of lemon. I saw this when I was about 17 in a perfume boutique. It was a fun time in my life and getting this cologne today absolutely slapped me back there PDQ and had me grinning. Would I recommend this to a friend? You betcha. It’s light and clean, a little sweet and creamy and great for everyday wear. I got the small medallion bottle which easily slips into my purse, but since I’ll keep using this, I think I will get a spray for better application.

I always like this cologne, but the cap wasnt closed tightly. Nor inner plastic thing wasnt there.I think I will have to return this.
