4711 Colognette is a line of refreshing wipes infused with the iconic fragrance of the original Eau de Cologne. The brand 4711 traces its history back to the Glockengasse in Cologne, Germany, in 1792, where Wilhelm Mülhens began producing the fragrance. The citrus-fresh wipes are designed for on-the-go hygiene, combining the traditional cooling properties of the cologne with modern convenience.
Originally founded by the Mülhens family, the brand remained under family ownership for over two centuries. In the late 20th century, it changed hands several times, passing through Wella and Procter & Gamble. Since 2006, the brand has been owned by Mäurer & Wirtz, a prominent German beauty and fragrance company. The product is primarily manufactured in Germany, maintaining its historical connection to its city of origin.
