4711 Original Eau de Cologne
was formulated in 1792 whilst
the instantly recognisable
'Molanus' flacon was created
by Peter Heinrich Molanus in
1820. The precise composition
of what is arguably the
earliest true 'Cologne'
remains a guarded secret but
the principal ingredients
include the essence of
essential oils from select
citrus fruits and small
quantities of Rosemary and
Lavender. The result is an
incredibly clean and fresh
citrus cologne that instantly
revives the wearer. What
makes 4711 truly unique is
its power to compliment and
even enhance other fragrances
since it leaves only a
whisper of scent and never
clashes.
