Remix Sparkling Island
Summer, plainly and simply, is what 4711 Remix Sparkling Island Cologne 100ml is for.
It opens on a trio of citrus, with lime sharp and bitter, lemon clean and sour, and orange rounder and sweeter than either, and the three of them together make the sort of bright start that works best on a hot morning. Nothing about it is complicated and nothing is meant to be.
The middle lightens rather than deepens. Green apple is crisp and tart, freesia is bright and clean, and ylang ylang adds a creamy, slightly banana like floral richness that gives the scent its one touch of indulgence. That last material is also what distinguishes it from the many cheap citrus colognes it sits alongside.
The base is dry and clean, with cedarwood for sharpness, ambered wood for a warm smooth finish and musk to keep it all against the skin. It is a simple, effective close that lets the top do the talking. Nine materials, used efficiently, no perfumer credited for them, and the whole thing behaves exactly as a cologne should: bright and generous on application, then quiet and close after an hour or so. Splash it on after a shower, use plenty, and top it up when it fades, because that is the way scents at this concentration are designed to be worn.
It reads as unisex, it is a daytime scent, and it is as suited to a beach holiday as to a warm commute. Keep it in the fridge in high summer if you want the opening to feel even colder, which is a trick worth knowing with any cologne this light. The company is a cologne specialist that dates its beginnings to 1792, and which has sold under the number 4711 for well over two centuries.
