It is one of the oldest perfumes still in production, born in 1792, (it is 211 years old) and also the youngest. Because Cologne N°4711 is energetic and revitalizing. "The formula, extraordinarily modern, was created by a monk as a wedding gift for a certain Wilhelm Mulhens. Who immediately began producing the fragrance" says Nicholas Wilkinson, CEO of Cosmopolitan Cosmetics Italia. The perfume was a success: the French soldiers stationed in Cologne renamed it Eau de Cologne. And they sent large quantities home. The number 4711 is also a reminder of the French occupation. In order to better control the city, the General who commanded the troops had the houses numbered. And 4711 is the street number of the building Mulhens distilled his aromatic and citrus fragrance, which has not changed since then. 4711 is a citrus-based fragrance, made from natural raw materials such as lemon, neroli (orange blossom), rosemary and lavender.
