4711 4711 Acqua Colonia Lavender & Thyme is a Cologne launched in 2009. 4711's 4711 Acqua Colonia Lavender & Thyme carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive blend that some find beautifully fresh and modern, while others are put off by a dominant, almost medicinal thyme. Definitely try before you buy, but for those it suits, it's a comforting and surprisingly long-lasting pick-me-up.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, coupled with its fresh, clean character, make it suitable for office and casual wear. It's too subtle for formal events and not traditionally romantic for dates, though it works well for a casual, refreshing daytime feel.

About

Opens with an immediate hit of herbaceous thyme, sharp and green, which can be bracing for some. As it settles, a clean, slightly sweet lavender emerges, softening the initial impact and bringing a sense of calm. Underlying it all is a fresh, almost citrusy transparency, reminiscent of the classic 4711 DNA, leaving a delicately clean and natural aroma.
