1709 Original Eau de Cologne, from Farina was released at unknown year. The perfumer behind this creation is Johann Maria Farina. The notes are Bergamot, Citron, Floral Notes, Grapefruit, Green Notes, Lemon, Lime, Orange.
I currently live in Bremen, Germany, and recently had the opportunity to visit Köln (Cologne). Since I'm getting more and more involved in the world of perfumery, I obviously decided to stop by the Farina Museum/Store and get to know their legendary fragrance from 1709.
It was totally worth it! The fragrance opens with a very pleasant citrus, with a strong sense of the orange, bergamot and lemon combo. In the opening and then in the "evolution" I can feel a little more of this green touch and a more floral touch, but still very citrusy. I put evolution in " " marks because on my skin it really is a cologne, with low projection and lasting for about 3 or 4 hours. A very linear aroma that exudes freshness and a clean sensation the whole time I wear it. If I had bought more volume, it could become my perfume for the gym or quick outings on warmer days. Perfect in my opinion!
Just for the historical factor and the fragrance itself, I really liked it! For those who have the opportunity to visit the museum in Cologne, it is definitely worth it! Book a guided tour of the museum in advance! Additionally, for perfume enthusiasts like me, I recommend visiting the 4711 store/museum, supposedly a "competitor" at the time (1792) with a fragrance with the same proposal.
