4711 Remix Cologne Edition 2018

THIS IS A CITRUS SPRITZER DREAM IN A BOTTLE. Yes we know the longevity is short, but hold onto your oranges! Chances are that if you are on this site reading and writing reviews....then you are not your average fragrance consumer. With this fragrance you need to get creative...you need to layer and mix with other scents. I love it as a base layer for anything that is citrus and white floral mixed. A good 10-25 sprays is good....I mean come on....you bought it for under US$18.00!! Let your base layer dry down for about 5 minutes and then go on top of it with your next fragrance. It is also a good one to mix with anything coconut or laconic based. I think I will layer under something boozy as well. If you approach this scent with a different perspective you will really surprise yourself. Before you move on to the next orchard, give this one another chance. You can thank me later!

Can't say I am a fan of the Original 4711, mainly because it has no staying power and I didn't see the point in wearing it. It reminds me of refresher towelettes, nice to use but the fragrance doesn't last. The 4711 Remix Cologne is a little bit different. You can still detect the original cologne in the background but there is this lovely burst of Citrus overload when first applied. It refreshes the senses and wakes you up, reminds me of Summer sports and eating Orange quarters at half time. Once the Citrus burst wears off, the Neroli steps forward and it is there to stay with the Bitter Orange wavering in the background. This is a cologne, so it won't last as long as a EDT but it is much longer lasting than the original 4711. This is a great Summer fragrance. I don't mind spraying more often because I just love the opening Citrus notes.

I bought this on EBay from an Italian seller. I love citrus perfumes so I blind bought it. When it arrived today I ripped open the package to try it - yum!! On my dry skin it smells like fresh cut oranges mixed with lemons at the opening. When it dries down it stays a fresh leafy orange (not orange juice or fake orange.) No musk or other notes noticed. This cologne leaves a soft scent trail the first hour then becomes a skin scent. It lasts about 4 hours which is pretty good for me. This cologne is worth blind buying as long as you like orange scents. It is definitely different than the regular 4711 so having both is not a waste.

I have searched for a long time for a perfume with the scent of freshly peeled oranges and this is exactly that. What a wonderful scent. Of course, it is a cologne so it doesn't linger for hours, yet it doesn't disappoint me with this one. It is not immediately gone like some colognes, I could still smell it after four hours. And I don't mind spraying it again during the day. This is the first time that I have a scent that has exactly the natural scent of freshly peeled oranges, delicious! I hope someday somebody makes an eau de parfum, with exactly this fragrance, the summer in a bottle.

Sharp leaning orange (but not quite as astringent as Mandarino which sets that bar for me). This is a perfect balance. The bergamot and woods do gently come through as well, so it isn't just orange juice. I prefer this to the Blood Orange & Basil. Mandarin & Cardamom may be my favorite of the orange scents from 4711, but this one fits the bill for a different mood and time of year (spring, while the other is fall). I was able to get my 170 mls for only $10 USD which is an absolute steal for a still high-quality product.
