Remix Green Oasis
The fruit in 4711 Remix Green Oasis Eau de Cologne 100ml is the unusual part, and it is chosen for coolness rather than for sweetness, which is a distinction worth making before you buy.
Lemon opens it conventionally enough, sour and bright. What follows is not conventional at all. Dragon fruit has a mild, faintly floral flavour and in perfumery it reads as watery and pale, almost like a salad leaf crossed with cold rain. Watermelon joins it and pushes further in the same direction, green at the rind and cool in the middle. Together they make an opening that feels wet rather than zesty, which is a genuinely different effect from the usual citrus burst.
Plum turns the middle darker and a little jammy, giving the composition some flesh, and then magnolia and gardenia take over. Magnolia is creamy with a lemon edge, gardenia is richer and slightly green at the stem, and the pair of them bring a white flowered softness that stops the fruit becoming a drink. Cedarwood, sandalwood and musk then make the finish. Cedarwood is dry and sharpened like a pencil, sandalwood soft and milky beside it, and musk holds the lot against the skin. It is a calm ending to a bright beginning.
As with any cologne the oil load is modest, so expect two to three hours of clear presence and plan to reapply. That is not a complaint. It is what lets you use this generously on a hot morning without overwhelming anybody. It reads as unisex, it is best in summer, and the 100ml bottle suits the way it gets used.
Eau de cologne has been this company's business since the eighteenth century, and its name comes from the number the French gave its Cologne premises in 1794 rather than from any family surname.
