About 4711

4711 is one of the oldest fragrance brands in the world, recognized for its iconic Eau de Cologne. The brand's history dates back to 1792 when Wilhelm Mülhens received the secret recipe for an "aqua mirabilis" as a wedding gift, which he marketed as 4711. This fragrance was named after the location of Mülhens' shop in Cologne, Germany, at Glockengasse No. 4711. It quickly became famous for its refreshing and revitalizing properties, establishing 4711 as a staple in the world of fragrances. The original Eau de Cologne is known for its citrus and herbal notes, setting a benchmark for cologne formulations worldwide.

The 4711 brand has maintained its legacy through continuous innovation while staying true to the original formula's essence. Over the years, 4711 has expanded its fragrance portfolio to include a range of scents, each drawing inspiration from the original Eau de Cologne. The brand's enduring appeal lies in its history, the timeless quality of its fragrances, and its ability to adapt to contemporary preferences without losing sight of its heritage. Today, 4711 remains a symbol of Cologne's rich perfume history and is celebrated for its classic, refreshing scents enjoyed by generations.
