On top it's all citruses with petitgrain at the bottom to extend that smell; there's also some linen-like neroli to make it smell even cleaner. My father noticed the difference between the current and vintage formulations *immediately* -- and said so without being asked; even though he's not "into" fragrance at all, this didn't shock me, as he has a few more decades of experience smelling 4711 than I do.

On 20 October 1794, Senator Gottfried von Gall noted in his diary that the numbering and the written documentation of the houses which started eight days earlier was being continued.
