About the Brand

1794 Two years after Muehlens`wedding, Cologne is occupied by French troops. According to legend, 4711 ultimately owes ist name to the organisational zeal of the occupiers: in order to put an end to the haphazardly allocated street names and to make it easier to find quarters for his troops, the commanding officer, General Daurier, has all the houses sequentially numbered. Muehlens`house in the Glockengasse is given the house numer 4711 - the name with which the Eau de Cologne is then later "christened". 1810: Napoleon decrees that the recipes for all medications intended for internal use must be made public. Muehlens, who does not wish to reveal the secret recipe behind his Kölnisch Wasser, simply begins marketing it as a fragrance rather than a medicament. And he does so successfully: high society is thrilled with the light, refreshing fragrance, and uses 4711 Eau de Cologne not just as a scent but also for their personal hygiene.
