4711

In 1792, Wilhelm Mülhens created this Eau de Cologne Originale 4711 from the formula of an "Aqua Mirabilis" given to him by a Carthusian monk. It was in Cologne, at Rue des Carillons 4711, that this Eau de Cologne Originale was made. The quality of the formula, kept secret for two centuries, has enabled Eau de Cologne Originale 4711 to preserve the purity and virtues of its ingredients, and also to obtain the "Originale" designation, which confers on Eaux de Cologne made in the heart of the city an exceptional guarantee of authenticity.
