Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil

Eau de Cologne

4711 Blood Orange & Basil Eau de Cologne opens with a dominant citrus and fresh spicy character. The top is lively and sparkling, with sharp citrus fruit giving way to a green, herbal heart where basil adds an aromatic lift. Bergamot brightens the opening further, and a warm, softly spiced thread develops beneath as it settles.

As it dries down, the composition becomes more rounded. Herbal and green facets remain present, and the spiced base keeps the fragrance from feeling thin. The overall impression is cheerful and energising, suited to a morning start as much as an afternoon away from the desk.

Wear it when you want something clean and uplifting. It sits comfortably in professional settings and relaxed casual days, and it can carry into an evening out. It works across spring, summer, fall and winter.

Its projection is moderate. It tends to sit close to the skin and carries gently rather than filling a room, and it usually lasts through a working day, with reapplication for longer outings.

The 4711 brand storybegins in 1792 when merchant Wilhelm Mülhens received a secret recipe for "aqua mirabilis" (miracle water) as a wedding gift from a Carthusian monk, which he began selling as an invigorating health elixir.

After French troops occupied Cologne in 1796 and introduced house numbering, Mülhens's manufactory in Glockengasse was assigned the number 4711.

He soon began marketing the product as 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser (Original Eau de Cologne), adopting the memorable house number to distinguish his fragrance.

The distinctive Molanus bottle was introduced in 1820, and the brand achieved global recognition and is still produced today by Mäurer & Wirtz, maintaining its iconic citrus-floral scent.
