How is the 4711? Been thinking of an EU order of a couple items
I love it. Great summer scent. Very light citrus / floral scent which hangs close to the body. I'm a big fan of petitgrain so this cologne was a no-brainer for me. The Phoenix Shaving soap "11235" is a great dupe but it boosts the petitgrain note in the soap. Very nice! The only drawback is that it doesn't hang around very long, necessitating reapplication. Additionally, there is basically no "skin food" ingredients at all. So, if you're susceptible to irritation, redness, etc. from those type splashes, you might need to steer clear. For me, I always keep some Thayer's unscented witch hazel tonic and hyaluronic acid serum (from Etsy) that I'll combine and mix into any alcohol splash I use which helps.

This the one you suggest is a solid Floid Amber dupe?
This one IMO comes closer to the Spanish version which I prefer slightly over the original Italian juice.

I think the Spanish version is still in production, though it's been impossible for me to source. The Italian version reformulated some years ago, with the new juice being a weaker, watered down version of the original.
