    The first time I bought this, I was in high school. I think I liked the Old World bottle it came in. It has a citrusy-lemony scent. Later (married, kids) I couldn't afford it, but I found the...

    This is such a victorian style cologne. The bottle is so cute and looks good on my dresser. It smells so fresh and uplifiting i can get carried away and splash it on my linen. A true classic.

    This is the very definition of a perfect summer scent to me - light, crisp, and fresh. There's nothing heavy, sweet or cloying about it. I carry a small spray bottle of it in my purse or tote bag...

    Initial sniff of this cologne smelled a bit dank, old, strong, grandpa-ish. But the drydown is lovely and after I was used to the the strong scent, I started seeing how this cologne is very light...

    This is a nostalgic fragrance for me. It'd be impossible for me not to like it. It's light and citrus-y. Introduced to me by my German grandmother, who favored orientals for herself but gave me a...

    I like to have a bottle of 4711 on hand, because it's refreshing and uplifting! They say that for anti-depressive effect ypou have to rub a few drops in your hands and then inhale. It works! I've...

    I don't know which particular herb or combination of herbs in 4711 causes it, but something about this cologne smells like a stale corn tortilla holding a pile of rotting basil and a lemon wedge,...

    I discovered this in Germany years ago; I got it at Woolworth's in Munich. It is really fresh and subtle; it is terrific if you refrigerate it and spritz it on in the summer. In Germany you could...

    The smell reminds me of spring, right when the air just starts to smell like green things. Light, nostalgic, simple, certainly not overpowering, and great for summer. As other reviewers mentioned,...

    I like 4711 - it is refreshing and doesn't last too long. Not old-ladyish on me - just citrusy and clean smelling. A classic that has been around for decades. I think this is a love/hate kind...
