A bit of Nostalgia for the Mind, Body and Soul ...




"4711 Original Eau de Cologne ;
 banishes the trials and tribulations of everyday life in a flash.  
Stress, heat and lethargy vanish in the twinkling of an eye"



My Great Granny used it, My Grandmother used it, My mother still uses it and now I use it. 
Since I was little I have seen these distinctive little bottles adorn the dressing tables of the women that went before me. 


My Son Zali has been home sick with a temperature and what magic little bottle did my mum pull out to fix it. 
The good old 4711. 


The memories flashing into my mind instantly of the times that this little bottle has come to the rescue. The fragrance instantly drew me back to those times as a little girl splashing it over me just like my grandmother. 


So here we are years later and 4711 coming to the rescue.


Looking into the history of this lovely little Eau De Cologne I realised that it has been around for centuries, what I didn't know was that is actually filled with Ingredients that I absolutely love. 


Do you have a memory about 4711?
