Farina 1709

[Straight Arrow]

I found this half-full vintage bottle of Eau de Cologne 1709 by Johann Maria Farina at an antique shop. Hard to tell how old it is but the scent is wonderful. Clean, light, very natural. They say it was Napolean's favorite.

Good eye, Rich. I think I've heard about Napolean's cologne. Its "citrusy", if I'm not mistaken?

Isn't 4711 supposedly the "knock-off" of Farina?
