4711 is a classic among colognes. The legendary fragrance was created by Wilhelm Muelhens in 1792 based on the recipe of Farina cologne. It owes its name to the place where it was created, the Glockengasse 4711 factory. Eau de Cologne 4711 is also one of two colognes composed according to a traditional recipe. Its scent is light, refreshing and universal. It brings pleasant relief on hot summer days and wraps you in autumn evenings.
