4711 Cologne

I have come to love this fragrance! I was first drawn to it because of learning about fragrance history and how this fragrance has remained over the centuries. I liked that it was described as unisex and inoffensive, which I agree with. I went into it knowing not to expect much for longevity. It lasts about 30 minutes, maybe 1 hour tops, on skin but longer on clothes. It smells like orange blossoms. Or like a freshly opened orange and lemony soda in the summer heat. It’s great for an inoffensive fragrance to use around those more sensitive. I find this scent both relaxing and uplifting simultaneously. I loved having this in my collection this past summer, because it was great for a refreshing pick-me-up anytime. Because I love the scent, I do wish it would last longer, but I comfort myself by knowing I can spray it anytime since it's so affordable.
