Hai guys, I've stumbled upon this perfume on SF affiliate shrinestyle.com and got interested in it and i want to buy it, but unfortunately i don't have any shops near where i can smell it, so i just want to collect reviews and thoughts about it, have you tried it and what are your thoughts?

Farina 1709 is supposed to be the higher-quality and supposedly better-smelling sibling of 4711 Kolnisch Wasser, the latter one is much more common and more likely available for you to sample somewhere. My thought is if you do try 4711 and like it then you can probably be able to blind-buy Farina 1709 with little to no risk.

That being said I've never tried either, even though I see 4711 all over the place. But if something has been around for over 300 years it's gotta be good, right?
