Floral Fields of Ireland 4711 2019

You have to give 4711 credit if they really market "Floral Fields of Ireland" as unisex. I believe the color and display in stores speak against it, but the mere fact that the entire line is presented as gender-neutral on paper is remarkable. Especially for a brand with this rather old-fashioned reputation. But anyone who knows the latest fragrances and has had them under their nose knows that the days of "grandma scent," "medieval citrus," and the like are long gone...

These Irish flower fields (which, to be fair, could also be conceivable in the Lower Rhine) are no exception. Despite their initially somewhat cloying and stale aura. But this might just seem worse to me personally, as my strong aversion to osmanthus and jasmine is far from completely overcome. These light florals are simply not my thing. And yet, "Floral Fields of Ireland" is, despite this Leimbacher-specific crow's foot, a more than respectable scent.

Quite powdery, almost dusty, but never stale. Fresh enough, with a hissing background. Summery and sunny. Mother's Day feeling. But is it a "grandma scent," just from tomorrow? Or for Zoomers? No, no, no. It is well made across the board. Lilac might be a bit too dominant. But never even slightly musty. Green to rosy. Not too synthetic for me either. For the price, it's top-notch anyway. So, for floral-inclined ladies, it's certainly fertile ground.

Bottle: beautiful color, really great overall, even independent of the price.
Sillage: seems cloying, becomes calmer
Longevity: not a strong suit of the brand or line, but at this price, almost secondary - 5 hours max.

Conclusion: a flower-rich whirlwind at eye - almost ground level - neither mine nor my wife's, but overall a lively wallflower bomb. If that makes sense.

I recently had the chance to test this Acqua Colonia in Glockengasse in Cologne. A very floral cologne with somewhat better sillage than the classic colognes.
However, one imagines the flower fields in Ireland quite differently. And looking at the fragrance pyramid reveals that while we may be in Ireland, citrus notes, acacia, orange blossoms, and jasmine are certainly not found in the open fields of Ireland, but rather in a botanical garden, an orangery, or a greenhouse.
And this could be true in almost any other place in the world. Nothing points to Ireland.
Be that as it may, the theme of flowers is certainly implemented and very prominent.
That these can only be synthetic flowers goes without saying given the very fair price.
I don't see the scent as suitable for a man; even as unisex, I wouldn't categorize it that way.
I can't perceive the woody notes even after hours when the scent is only detectable up close.
It's not a floral blockbuster, but the fragrance will find its admirers.
I am enthusiastic about the bottle. The glass looks elegantly adorned and is colored in the Intense series in a way that corresponds to how the scent could be categorized on a color scale.
One can remain a fan of the house 4711, even if one cannot necessarily wear every creation. I will continue to actively follow the refreshing work on always new themes and combinations.

Admittedly - with the name, you expect something greener than this scent actually is. Floral, soft, and lightly powdery. It starts citrusy floral and then becomes pleasantly floral with osmanthus and jasmine. The freshness remains present as well. I really like it a lot, the wood provides a pleasant base that keeps it from becoming too sweet.
It fits perfectly for spring and for the price, you really can't complain!

Objectively speaking, I would describe the "Acqua Colonia Intense - Floral Fields of Ireland | 4711" as a relatively successful fragrance. It is marketed as unisex, but in my opinion, it is very feminine and therefore not really wearable for me in everyday life. My best friend feels quite similarly. Somehow, I also find the scent a bit old-fashioned. The longevity is very weak. After 2 to 3 hours, the fragrance's connection with my skin abruptly ends. Unfortunately, I can hardly smell anything at that point. The sillage is similarly meager - the "Acqua Colonia Intense - Floral Fields of Ireland | 4711" does not really stand out.

The top note starts fruity, green, and floral with aromas of mandarins, lemon peels, osmanthus, and a hint of peach. In the heart note, this floral aspect is intensified by jasmine and orange blossoms, geraniums, lilacs, and acacias. The base remains floral and has a slightly woody and balsamic scent of sandalwood and cedar.

This fragrance does not remind me of Ireland at all. Perhaps that is why I am a bit disappointed, as I expected much more in that regard.

I purchased Acqua Colonia Intense Floral Fields Of Ireland in a set with 3 other scents from the line, each 8 ml.
The bottles have the typical 4711 shape. There are no spray heads.
They look quite pretty and can also be used as a small gift, gift tags
or for a dollhouse.
Believing it to be a creation by Geza Schön and also due to the positively connoted name for me, I was curious and had very positive expectations.
Floral Fields Of Ireland is a light floral scent, only slightly sweet, appearing innocent, with a hint of its laboratory origin.
But that can be liked or not.
I see the scent mainly on young girls or very old ladies or also on moon women as a light everyday fragrance for the warm months.
Personally, I am bothered by the synthetic quality and the dominance of one of the notes, I believe it is jasmine.
Otherwise, I have different associations with blooming Irish meadows.
The perfumer is also not Geza Schön.
From my perspective, it is a creation far from being a masterpiece, but certainly wearable and pleasant. I will gift the bottle.
