Maurer & Wirtz 4711 Eau De Cologne 300ml Splash

Mäurer & Wirtz 4711 Eau de Cologne 300ml Splash is the generous flagship size of the original Echt Kölnisch Wasser — one of the oldest fragrances still in continuous production anywhere in the world, first produced in Cologne, Germany, in 1792. Built on a classical citrus-aromatic accord of bergamot, lemon and orange with a soft floral and woody finish, it has been worn for over two centuries as a refreshing splash for the face, neck and wrists.

About 4711

4711 takes its name from the address of the small house in Cologne, Germany, where the original Echt Kölnisch Wasser was first produced in 1792 by Wilhelm Mülhens. The brand is now part of Mäurer & Wirtz and remains a staple of European bathroom shelves, with the famous turquoise-and-gold flacon recognised across multiple generations.

Who it's for

4711 Original suits anyone who enjoys traditional, classical eau de cologne — both as a personal fragrance and as a refreshing splash on hot days, after exercise or as a quick scenting between activities. It is unisex by tradition, and a particularly safe gift for older relatives or for anyone who appreciates classical European perfumery. The 300ml splash format is a long-lasting size for everyday home use.

How to use

1. Splash a small amount into the palms or onto a soft cloth.
2. Press onto the face, neck, wrists and chest as a refreshing scenting layer.
3. Reapply through the day as needed; the eau de cologne concentration is deliberately light and designed for repeated use.
4. Avoid the eye area.
