Pros

  • It's amazing as to how many frags the 4711 just goes so easily with.
  • There's also the brand 4711, which doesn't have a ton of longevity but are otherwise great.
  • I've started moving away from artisan splash fragrances to neutral or complementary cheap splash products with designer and clone fragrances layered over. Stirling Deep Blue Sea, Aqua Velva, and Bleu de Chanel or Declaration Grooming Tri...
  • No question, it's 4711. ... I've always liked it, and it's one of the few scents I can wear no matter how hot it gets.
  • 4711, first ever eau de cologne (1792)

Cons

  • The 4711 should be inexpensive and doesn’t last long but I would grab it if you’ve never smelled it.
  • 4711 is the house that created the original Eau de Cologne that inspired Florida Water, and they have both classic and more modern scents at excellent prices. (A lot of 4711 scents don't last that long, however.)
  • The classic 4711 is worth trying, very cheap but doesn't last long.

I've started moving away from artisan splash fragrances to neutral or complementary cheap splash products with designer and clone fragrances layered over. Stirling Deep Blue Sea, Aqua Velva, and Bleu de Chanel or Declaration Grooming Trismegistus, Floid The Genuine, and Terre de Hermes or Noble Otter Italian Summer, 4711, and Neroli Portofino.

That said, it is my go-to summer scent. ... It's fresh, soapy, and clean smelling to me.
