Lime & Nutmeg 4711 2015 Eau de Cologne

This scent is my first 4711 fragrance after the classic one that I am testing from this brand. Since I had not engaged with the brand before, I approached the test with hardly any expectations. It was clear to me that I would be smelling a fresh cologne scent. I was also very curious because the "Molecule inventor" Geza Schön designed the fragrance.

**Fragrance Development:**
The opening is wonderfully zesty-lime, very natural and invigorating. The hesperidic note quickly softens, leaning slightly towards the orangey direction and is already subtly creamy underneath. A light, gently spicy note (nutmeg) then joins in quite swiftly.
Both named components are evenly distributed and well coordinated, creating a citrusy-fruity, nutmeg-soft scent impression that gradually becomes increasingly creamy-soapy in nuances.
In this composition, the fragrance lingers until it fades away. The overall impression is consistently natural and moderately refined. I would have wished for it to be a bit finer.

**Longevity and Sillage:**
On me, the fragrance lasted a good 8 hours, which is a remarkable duration for such a naturally appearing cologne. The sillage was quite restrained throughout the entire duration.

**Conclusion:**
The Lime & Nutmeg is a naturally appearing, appropriately fine, and optimally invigorating Eau de Cologne with two very well-matched components. A lovely exercise by the perfumer!
