I don't know whether to laugh or cry

What is the best way to start?
4711 cologne is a classic that no perfume collection should be without. The price is great, but we won't be friends.

The fragrance starts with a freshness that smells soapy and sweet at the same time. You can definitely smell the lemon and bergamot in the foreground. The lavender wants to join the party and only appears after the second drink; after just under 10 minutes, the freshness disappears and a sweetness that I find unpleasant comes to the fore; unfortunately, the cologne doesn't last long on my skin and I can no longer perceive any fragrance notes after just under 20 minutes.
I personally use it after shaving as an aftershave.

The fragrance smells too old-fashioned to me, but I must emphasize that this is not a bad thing. It's just my personal opinion. There are also very good old-fashioned perfumes, such as Fahrenheit, which I love. However, I can chase my relatives with this perfume. Everyone has different noses :-D!

My opinion was also confirmed by friends and acquaintances when they asked me what smelled so funny. My aunt's first reaction was: Did you take the cologne from Grandma's cupboard?
On the one hand, it's cool that cologne has a recognizable feature and sticks in people's minds! Hats off, you have to manage that first!

Be that as it may. It's not my cup of tea, but there are much worse perfumes that stink really bad, and cologne doesn't do that!
