Thank you for bringing up 4711. I haven’t thought about it in years - My mother used to wear that. It was in her regular rotation.

I feel like everyone’s mother and/or grandmother/grandfather wore it at some point.

There is a Guerlain that smells a lot like it as well, forget what it is called.

Fun fact: the term "eau de cologne" is named after the city of cologne where 4711 was founded. There is even an older perfume company in Cologne (Johann maria farina).

Maybe I'm just easy, but I love 4711. I'm allergic to anything musk-based and the lightness of 4711 is very appealing.

$225 is quite a sum but is not crazy as far as French perfume go. A very basic Channel No 5 that smells like your grandma costs 75-250 bucks depending on bottle size, and that's before import taxes and stuff
