Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that the fragrance/perfume given as a gift to the Marquis de Lafayette by George Washington, is still produced by the same manufacturer today. The fragrance has been worn by Washington, John Quincy Adams, JFK, George Gershwin, and countless others. by mcmcplok

Thank you for bringing up 4711. I haven’t thought about it in years - My mother used to wear that. It was in her regular rotation.

I feel like everyone’s mother and/or grandmother/grandfather wore it at some point.

There is a Guerlain that smells a lot like it as well, forget what it is called.
