The 4(7)11

One of the scents that I like and never tire of is the very classic 4711 cologne from Germany.


It  has this light, citrusy scent that's very subtle and natural. When sprayed on, the dry down melds well with the skin. You almost forget that you're wearing cologne, and it feels like you just have really great smelling skin.

Fun information about 4711, it's the oldest cologne and was developed in the 18th century in Cologne, Germany. Yes, cologne actually came from Cologne. 

Because it's been around for more than 200 years, it's an honest-to-goodness classic. Actually, I remember my Lola Dita had 4711 cologne on her dresser. It's because it has that Spanish scent that she gravitated towards.

My Mom also used this, so do we from time to time. So, it's safe to say that it's a scent that's part of 3 generations of our family.

No other cologne can lay claim to that. And that's what makes 4711 special!
