Product Information
Full details
The 4711 Original Eau de Cologne (100ml Splash) is for anyone seeking a timeless, invigorating fragrance experience. Its key benefit is its unique blend of natural essential oils that uplift and soothe the senses, offering a moment of freshness and calm. A potential caveat is that its light, citrusy scent may not be long-lasting for those accustomed to heavier perfumes. This iconic Eau de Cologne, a staple since 1792, is celebrated for its revitalizing and harmonizing properties, derived from a secret formula featuring seven key natural ingredients.

FAQs
What is the main scent profile of 4711 Original Eau de Cologne?
The main scent profile is a fresh, citrusy fragrance with prominent notes of lemon and orange, complemented by herbal undertones of lavender and rosemary.
How long does the scent typically last?
As an Eau de Cologne, its longevity is generally shorter than Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum. It provides an immediate refreshing effect that typically lasts for a few hours.
Can 4711 Original Eau de Cologne be used by men and women?
Yes, 4711 Original Eau de Cologne is considered a unisex fragrance and has been enjoyed by people of all genders for centuries.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
While made with natural ingredients, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin if you have very sensitive skin, as individual reactions can vary.
What are the seven main ingredients mentioned?
The seven main ingredients that have remained unchanged since 1792 are lemon, orange, bergamot, lavender, rosemary, petitgrain, and neroli.
Can I use this fragrance for special occasions?
While it's a refreshing daily scent, its classic and clean profile can also be suitable for daytime events or as a subtle addition to evening wear.
What is the difference between a splash and a spray application?
A splash application involves pouring a small amount directly from the bottle onto the skin, offering a more direct application. A spray application (using an atomizer) disperses the fragrance more finely over a wider area.
Troubleshooting
Fragrance fades quickly
This is characteristic of Eau de Cologne; for longer-lasting scent, reapply throughout the day or layer with complementary products like 4711 body lotion or shower gel.
Accidental spillage during application
Wipe up spills immediately with a soft cloth. Be aware that the fragrance can make surfaces slippery.
Skin irritation after use
Discontinue use if irritation develops. Ensure you are not sensitive to any of the natural ingredients. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin first.
Bottle cap is difficult to open
Ensure you are twisting the cap correctly. If it feels stuck, run the cap under warm water for a few moments and try again gently.
