4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser. The "Original Eau De Cologne" that started it all.
I don't use it as a perfume, but as as a wound-healing aid, which is what the stuff originally was invented for in the time of the Napoleonic wars. It works magically in that regard. If you ever have an itchy wound that doesn't seem to heal, pour a little 4711 on it and the wound is gone in 2 or 3 days.
Later on someone had the idea to sell it as a perfume, which worked for more than 150 years, but nowadays it's considered an "old folks smell" and the company doesn't do too well. Smell-wise, 4711 is pretty spicy. The recipe has Italian roots and contains bergamot, like many snus-brands.
Cheers!
