      Where are these sold in a store in America? I cannot find them in Dillards, Macy's, Niemann Marcus, Sephora, Kohl's or JC Penny. Not in CVS or Walgreens either. Haven't seen in Marshall's or T J Maxx. So where are they sold? Please help.

    I can’t believe how many people don’t understand the value and the beauty of brevity. These are astonishingly beautiful for a moment in time and can be reapplied whenever you need that flash of intensity. They are meant to be enjoyed in the now. Thank you for refreshing our memories ❤

    I love 4711 💜 since I'm german, I grew up with them. The classic was always present in my mom's handbag to "fresh up". In summer it was swapped for the "Ice" version. As teen i despised them as "old", but rediscovered them when I started working in an office. Now I have roundabout half of the new ones. "Orange Blossom" is this summer my favourite, perfectly fresh, summery and inexpensive.

    Thanks a lot for this review! I’m living in Singapore so 4711 is absolutely perfect for the weather here. My favourite is White Peach and Coriander, I always spray it in my room first thing I wake up in the morning, so pleasant and uplifting! I also have an 800ml 4711 original cologne, myth said you can actually drink it, wonder if anyone had tried 😄.

    Hi Sebastian, Greetings from Germany and thank you very much for all the great videos you churn out with such enthusiasm and vigor. Yep, correct, the Acqua Colonias are readily available here in Germany. I usually target the online shops (Notino, Parfumdreams, etc. ) for the best prices instead of Douglas. I just ordered the Wakening Woods of Scandinavia Intense 23,60€, Lagoons of Laos Intense 19,95€, Blood Orange & Basil 18€, Sunny Seaside of Zanzibar 18€, Pink Pepper € Grapefruit 18€ and Lemon & Ginger 18€. All 50 ml and all from Parfumdreams. I prefer the lighter and fresher colognes instead of the beast mode perfumes. BTW, I’ll only go to Douglas if I need some professional advice or if they have special promotions.

    These are very easy to find in Germany, have seen them in Douglas stores, as well as in Galeria Kaufhof stores. Not to mention, in the city of Cologne you can find the 4711 stores themselves near the Cathedral.
    I remember smelling Wakening Woods of Scandinavia and liking it, smelled another couple from the collection which were very citric and refreshing, very nice too. That was quite a while ago though, must check them all again.
    PS. Have a 400 ml bottle of 4711, one of my largest fragrance bottles, and only €22.50 from Notino. I believe it can be found for even less some times

The other two today were Lemon Ginger, and Lychee and White Mint. Prefer the latter but these last two are not so compelling for me. Have to smell some others to identify that other citric one that I had liked

    Apart from the original which I adore, I only have Kumquat & Myrrh which is warm and sweet but I hoped for the opening to be a bit sharper. Not bad though and performs incredibly well for a cologne. I organised a trip to Cologne last year to visit their flagship store and the Fragrance Museum (Farina Haus), but then Omicron came out. Need to plan again!

    How does the Bloodorange and Basil compare to Guerlain’s Mandarin and Basil? I think the original 4711 cologne is one of the best cologne scents out there, even nicer than aqua di Parma but unfortunately it is very, very fleeting, compared to other cologne brands
    The idea of the various scented 4711 colognes is nice but you get what you pay for, some of them are very artificial smelling, I find, when I sniffed them.
