“Eau de Cologne” was the brand name tagged by Italian perfumer Giovanni Maria Farina for his scented concoction launched in 1709 after his new hometown of Cologne in Germany; which is now a known global perfume generic, simply, COLOGNE.
N○ 4711 is the address of the perfume factory where the first cologne was manufactured; thus, it was the same name given to this famous Eau de Cologne. It was a very cold winter morning when Bob and I walked the town square of Cologne in search of this teal-colored and gold trademark after alighting from the Thaly’s traveling from the City of Light for a day of adventure in the city on the Rhine.
