4711 4711

This mini cologne size 4711 (20 ml) was given to us at the perfumery and, although I always like to try everything, I have to be honest: it's not a cologne that fits me. And as I always say, in perfumes, for tastes and colors. As soon as you smell it, you can tell that it is a very classic scent, with that characteristic citric and clean touch, but which is too traditional for me. It has that smell that I associate with previous generations, of an old toilet or of a lifetime of cologne, and personally I don't see myself wearing it in my daily life. The bottle is very much in the same vein: simple, sober and with a design that further reinforces that feeling of cologne designed for an older audience or very faithful to the usual scents. It is not a container that calls me or invites me to use it, quite the contrary. Of course, I fully understand why it has so many followers and why it's still a classic after so many years: it's fresh, light and very recognizable. It just doesn't suit me, neither for style nor for sensations. In short, it is a cologne with a lot of history and personality, but clearly designed for lovers of the classic. I have it, I've tried it... and I know I wouldn't repeat it.
