SMELLING THE FIRST COLOGNE EVER MADE!!! 4711 First Impression! Good in 2023? with @Revesdefragrance 

My grandma would sprinkle some on a handkerchief and give it to me when I felt nauseous. Really worked.

Don’t want to be that person but John Maria farina eau de cologne was actually the first cologne made in 1709. 4711 was very popular and heavily marketed as original eau de cologne so that’s where the confusion comes into play. 4711 wasn’t created until 1792. Both created in cologne Germany just decades apart..

Try Tom Ford’s Neroli Portifino it’s his version of 4711. Big price difference of course for a similar vibe.

Its a lovely fresh smell straight after a shave or a shower, some guys dont want to be stinking of aftershave all day long it suits me, lovely in the summer.

Neroli Portofino is the smooth blend of this cologne. 4711 lasts 2 hours tops. Cheap enough to carry an atomizer with you for a quick refresh

As you said, very natural and absolutely timeless. It indeed doesnt last for long, but thats what a cologne is made for, rather a refreshing splash than an actual parfume. It is a very comforting scent without a real alike.

I am absolutely obsessed with this fragrance! It is absolutely beautiful! I have several bottles of it! Have it in body wash, soap, tissues and body spray! I have to layer it as it doesn't last long. I prefer old school unisex scents. ADP Colonia, L'Eau Sauvage and Guerlain's Imperiale Cologne are my other favourites and are very similar but they last longer.

I love this fragrance! It does fade away very quickly, but it leaves a skin scent that comes back when you splash water on your wrists or hands after applying it as a splash as a lovely refresher!

The first alcohol based perfume was 'Eau de la Reine d'Hongrie', made in the late 14th century.

I love this scent, I have used for years (I’m in my 50’s). It can be just kept on your desk as a pick me up scent in the afternoon, and my nana would let us sniff it if we had a headache, it makes sense that it helps if it was considered medicinal. Oddly enough I’ve never worn it. Thank you ladies for the history lesson though, I’ve learned something new today. 😊

Mfks who sniffed the First batch be Like : ☠☠☠

Perfect for Summer Nights. It does not last long, but it cools and calms very well. I use it in the summer for my bedtime (hot summer nights). Desinfects also very well. You can layer it with other heavier fragrances to make them fresher and lighter. It is also available with a sprayer. Have 2 of the 800 ml bottles. 😉

I own it and think it’s lovey, I brought the small bottle and now have the extra large bottle

A lot of Italian scents kind of smell like it, definitely been very influential!

Put the cologne in a spray bottle that’s what I do when I get a splash bottle

Very cool. I just found out about this after getting into Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Maybe I’ll pick up a bottle just to learn more about the history of fragrance

MASTERPIECE

It is a nice scent but you could spill the whole bottle on and it would disappear within 15 minutes.

It smells really nice but its like 15 mins before it goes away

When I was in high-school this was one of my favorites!!

Splash! So elegant, I need try it!

Where did you buy your necklace (gold choker)?

Off subject but I always notice editing things in videos since I have been making my own and the "pop" you used when you introduced @revesdefragrance channel was so satisfying 😂

First invented in Cologne, over 250 years ago.... M & W company is still there and recipe is still secret....

i love a good splash cologne for what its meant for my favourite be alvarez gomez colognia concentrada

4711 is knows as a ritual water , cleanser etc used by people who practice witchcraft or in a occult as well as florida water and alcoholado.

FYI this is also a spiritual cologne, sometimes I put some in my mop water to cleasne my house

For what another RU-vidr says it is the very first Cologne. first it was made to drink then Napoleon told the guy to use as fragrance or something and Napoleon was bad with names called it the 4711 street so therefore the name 4711

Never get the sprayer version, clumsily dropping the wrong amount every time is a ritual with 4711.

It's great but I wish they made a longer lasting eau de parfum flanker of it *with an atomizer lol

Acqua di S.M. Novella, is the oldest fragrance of the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella it was created in 1533.

Your eyes are so captivating.

Thanks for information!!

Sorry. But 4711 is not the first cologne. "Eau de Cologne" by Farina has been produced in Cologne since 1709 and is still available today. This makes it the oldest perfume still produced in the world today. After Farina's success, Wilhelm Mülhens launched his version in 1803, which is now marketed as 4711. Today, 4711 is many times better known around the world than Farina's original. But if you want to smell like Napoleon 😉 you have to buy the original from Farina.

Is it unisex

Graham Hancock podcast is fantastic 👍👍👍👍

Yep a classic to splash with gay abandon,on the hottest of days ,sadly it vanishes within the hour maybe less 👌🏻

Works great as an emergency disinfectant too! 😆AHHHH! It burns!!! 😱🤣 I.e. On surfaces other than skin. And eyeballs. Hmmmm. 🤔 Emergency mugger deterrent?

this baby for 20 bucks? 20 usually gets you the biggest 800ml bottle...

But you wouldn’t wear it! Lol I’m good haha

It doesn't last

We germans hate this horrible cheap smell. It's the worst Perfum on earth. Only very old grandmas buy it. I wonder why you like it.
