4711 - hip like grandma & grandpa




My favourite fragrance at the moment - i love having a few on the go - is 4711, the original eau de cologne launched by the design house of Muelhens in 1792. It's a secret blend of essential oils with head notes of bergamont & citrus fruits, heart of lavender and rosemary and base notes of neroli (bitter orange blossom extract) which together make a fresh unisex fragrance.


I think it's the packaging i like best though, can't go past the colour combination of peacock blue and gold - think early seventies French riviera. Check out some great vintage TV commercials here.

Nike even released a 4711 design sneaker in 2007!
