Review 4711 Eau de Cologne | Stylish London Living

So this month in my beauty box I received a tiny sample of 4711 Eau de Cologne to try out.

Description: “4711 Original Eau de Cologne is one of Cologne’s oldest internationally famous brands. For more than 200 years, it has delivered on its promise: using this unique fragrance refreshes the mind, body and soul. The secret formula for 4711 Original Eau de Cologne is still appreciated across the globe today, making this ‘aqua mirabilis’ an unparalleled classic.”

Straight away when opening the bottle and taking a cautious sniff I picked out the the deep sultry scent of this perfume which I really liked. It has an odd undertone of something which reminds me a bit of washing up liquid – in a good way!

I really love the strong fragrance of this perfume, however, it has a particularly masculine style and I believe many women will not like wearing this fragrance. I do not believe this to be a particularly negative element but I would rather my Fiancé wear it than myself!

The biggest negative element to this review was the fact that it was such a tiny bottle to sample, being smaller than my thumb! I would like to see bigger samples in my beauty box for the future.
