A bitter, blood orange-sour top note with a slight green undertone, which unfortunately loses its freshness increasingly due to creamy musk. Menno

Is there even one that really impresses?

I like the OG 4711 :)

They're just something for everyday wear on the side.

Good statement. 4711 experiments a bit too much for my taste. I stick to the original: Farina.

Exactly...the base isn't that great.

I don't like it either when fresh scents become too warm in the base.

I'm also waiting for the test here. It doesn't sound bad for the price!

There are worse ones from 4711 🥴

They probably wanted to solve the longevity issue with a cheap fixative, which isn’t one of my favorites. I’d prefer any random wood in the base that’s cream-free.
Thanks to Luwa 🙏🏼

So in the base, I actually smell some kind of Ambrox wood alongside the creamy musk. It has a hint of Ambroxan.

@Mrtangiers 😂 The once confident guy has now deleted his comment, and with it, the discussion.

Well, luckily they went with musk as a fixative here and not ambrocenide, because that doesn't last.... :D
