A Scent of Summer 4711

When Wilhem Muelhens was given the formula to 4711  a legend was born,people from all walks of life male,female old and young wear this great cologne,it is uplifting,has medicinal properties and smells great.So...Why do people like it? Well it is the most inoffensive fragrance that you could ever own,it`s crisp citrus and not overpowering,you can share it with your partner (it`s unisex ) or keep it for yourself.
The story begins in Cologne and a wedding gift from a  Carthusan Monk to Wilhem Muelhens a young entrepeneur,Muelhens had a great belief in this formula and it`s medicinal properties and so the legend was born,Wagner was amongst it`s users.The name comes from the time when Colgne was under  French occupation and Glockengasse became number 4711 as all houses had to have a number!. Not even Napoleon with his great power could get the secret formula of the Kolnish Wasser (wonder water) Muelhens never promoted it as medicinal so it remained more than just a perfume and the secret remained.
The Molanus bottle  was created by Peter Heinrich Molanus and was shaped for ease of use and storage,
Today there is not just this wonderful cologne,you can buy tissues,body sprays and cologne sticks amongst other toiletries which all share the same wonderful aroma of the "Wonder Water".
