Vibrant Musk 4711 2023

The title I chose describes the scent 100 percent for me. It is a clean fragrance that is, however, not as boring as most of its kind. This tingly pepper with a slight woody note simply has something unique for me. However, one must also emphasize the price; for 120 euros, you get a fragrance that is usually priced between 180 - 240 euros. Unfortunately, one has to make compromises with the bottle, which seems very boring and cheap to me. Cheap not in terms of feel but in appearance. The perfume is overall a very high-quality creation that you get for a very fair price. Especially for the upcoming spring, it's a hidden gem.

With the announcement of this new fragrance line from 4711, I immediately focused my attention on this new perfume, as the ingredient list sounded very good to me:

Cashmere wood - Super!
Black pepper - Mega!
ISO-E-Super - Cool!
Cedar wood - Fantastic!
Ambrox - Well… it depends on the amount!
Musk - OK
Norlimbanol - OK

After the first spray, I knew right away that it was not a bad purchase!

At first, the cashmere wood stands out, but it quickly transforms into a very creamy wood. The pepper is only minimally present, you hardly notice it. Fortunately, the same goes for the Ambrox. We are light-years away from an Ambrox bomb like, for example, Sauvage Eau de Toilette!

After a while, it is the combination of cashmere wood and cedar that sets the tone all the way to the drydown.

All in all, a successful fragrance that resembles "Cedar N' Pepper | Birkholz," but comes across as a bit creamier.
