4711 Colognette is a line of refreshing citrus-scented wet wipes based on the world-famous Original Eau de Cologne formula. The brand is one of the oldest and most iconic German fragrance brands, originating from Cologne (Köln) where Wilhelm Mülhens first produced the scent in the late 18th century.

The product is primarily manufactured in Germany, maintaining its heritage of local production within the Rhine region. Historically associated with the Mülhens family, the brand has changed hands several times over the centuries. In 2006, it was acquired from Procter & Gamble by the German fragrance house Mäurer & Wirtz, which continues to own and operate the brand today. The '4711' name refers to the house number assigned to the factory during the French occupation of Cologne in 1794.
