Floral Collection Jasmine
4711 Floral Collection Jasmine Eau de Cologne 100ml does what a single flower fragrance should do, which is to put one material in the middle and build everything else around it.
Jasmine is that material, and it is handled in its rich, slightly heady, faintly animal form rather than as a thin white floral. Bergamot opens above it with a clean citrus bitterness, and tea gives the top an unusual dryness, leafy and astringent, which keeps the flower from reading as sweet from the very first second. Neroli joins the jasmine in the heart, bright and a little soapy, and the two of them together are considerably more interesting than either would be on its own.
The base is where the fragrance gains its length. Musk keeps it close to the skin, cedarwood adds a dry structure, and tonka bean brings a soft, powdery warmth with a faint bitterness underneath it that reads almost like the inside of an old biscuit tin.
Alexandra Kalle composed it. At cologne strength it is light by design, holding two to three hours with a quiet floral trace afterwards, and it rewards being used freely rather than sparingly. The 100ml bottle is sized for exactly that kind of use, and it will not last long if you enjoy it.
It is sold as a feminine fragrance, suits daytime and warm weather, and makes an unusually easy introduction to jasmine for anyone who has found the material overpowering in stronger concentrations elsewhere. 4711 dates its own beginnings to October 1792 and a wedding gift of an aqua mirabilis recipe to the merchant Wilhelm Muelhens; the name is the street number given to his house in 1794 and registered as a trademark in 1875.
