How does this 2018 Edition compare to the original 4711 Cologne?+−
This version is much heavier on the orange and lacks the dominant herbal-spicy punch of the original. It feels more modern and fruit-forward, and it generally offers better staying power than the classic 1792 formula.
Is this a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
It is strictly unisex. The citrus and tea notes are neutral, and the soft musk and wood base provides a clean finish that works equally well for men and women.
Can this fragrance be worn in the winter?+−
While you can wear it year-round, its performance and character are best suited for spring and summer. The cold tends to suppress the citrus notes, whereas heat helps the orange and neroli "pop" and project.
Does this smell like orange juice?+−
Not exactly. Instead of a sugary juice, it smells more like the bitter, zesty peel of an orange combined with green tea and clean musk. It is more sophisticated and tangy than a sweet, fruity scent.
