4711

Its amazing!

who would have thought of a completely odorless cologne

It smells lovely in the bottle, warm oranges, but the scent
completely disappears once it hits my skin.

Blow your nose and splash it about on a summer's day! Marvellous! Or is your nose already clear and you're being a bit stingey with splashing it?

Good stuff 4711. SWMBO had a headache a while ago, she tried a few pain killers but they didn't shift it. She scoffed at my suggestion of sniffing some 4711 on a make up pad. But then as always I know best and the headache shifted.

Didn't like this. Wore it once, deeply offended, sold it on here. Found it a bit "old lady", didn't get much orange at all and I adore orange colognes.

Granted, it doesn't last long ... but while it does, you're in a citrus heaven. Lovely stuff!

challenge accepted.

Its not Terry's, its mine.

Bought the 4711 AS for a whopping €4.95 the other day nearly used half the bottle already..

Hope snuffers haven't read this!! Well be moving from snuff bullets to atomizers!!![emoji41]

But...yes, been using 4711 for over a year now one of my favorites!

I tried a sample in a local shop and whilst it was pleasant enough, it was the definition of "fleeting".

I think they do a little spray version. Handy for topping up during the day.

Loce it, only wished it lasted longer when applied - maybe just splash more on.

My wife brought some samples of the new colognes they have from Germany and they smell great http://www.4711.com/index.php/en/acqua-colonia-136.html#die-duefte

I pretty much showered in the stuff last night,
The scent had gone by the time I sat in front of the telly.

Tried this again today in the chemist near me, attempted with all my might to recognise oranges and citrus, sadly only found a whiff of Barbara Cartland. You fans are very welcome to this scent!

Babs, eh? To my nose, it's orange skin up top and then ... nowt. Addictive, still. I'm a 'Veg head, tho' ... and an Arkoite. Toilet pucks and cat piss do it for me, so 4711 is pretty damn refined to my nose.

As an aftershave I think 4711 is pretty good. Nice wiff while it does its stuff then move onto your ASB, colognes or whatnot.
I agree though as a cologne it barely lasts out of the bathroom.

.... Also have the 4711 Ice. Nice, but like the original better.
