Oh yes, it's great on days like today. I applied it to my temples since I've had a headache for three days. Maybe it will help. The cooling effect is definitely nice :-)
We always had it lying around in the car in the 70s, and since there were no seatbelts, I leaned forward and grabbed it from the shelf. This might have been the real start of my fondness for 4711 and the like, since I didn’t have a grandma to wipe my face with it (or whatever other legends there are about it).
