    By chance I had a spray of this when was in a shop and decided to buy it. It immediately brought back childhood memories. It has a very clean fresh citrus smell - definitely a unisex fragrance....

    A very light citrus smell like lemons. Sometimes a dead ringer for Jean Nate Body Splash. I wish it stayed on longer. Refreshing and for the price go ahead I have also found another use for this...

    Though none of my family members used this while I was younger, I started using this 5 years ago. And since then I've never been out of a bottle. I use a lot of this especially on hot days. It...

    Agree with previous reviewer that this smells of Coppertone. Not as sharp tho. Nice on my hands when I want to switch up from my usual vanillas. I do not tend to wear this out, because itis not...

    I finally came across this in a random perfume store. I was so excited. Hot day, splashed some on and went about my business. Half an hour later I was running back to the store to buy a bottle. ...

    In summer I keep mine in the fridge. After a long hot day working I spritz a little on as a freshen up then grab a cold drink and have a sit down to recover for 10 minutes. One sniff of that...

    Regardless of the ongoing arguments by historians over which fragrance is truly the oldest, 4711 cologne has endured for over 200 years, and for good reason. It is refreshing without being...

    I love this! I won't describe the scent, since others have already done so, although I totally disagree w/ the person who said it smelled like soda or candy--don't know where that came from! ...

    This is what my childhood memories smell like. I can remember standing beside my (German) Grandpa as he shaved and then splashed this on. Its a light lemony scent - not strong at all. My mom also...

    First I must say that I misread or misunderstood the size of the bottle when I ordered it from amazon. I thought it was 8 ounces for about $23, a great deal! When I got the box in the mail, it...
