Yes, ma'am the perfume of which you speak would be 4711 and it is made in Koln, Germany
(Koln = Cologne....
Koln is the German word, Cologne is the English word). Hence the term "Eau De Cologne"...Water from Cologne (or Koln).

My Mom has been wearing that perfume for years, and yes, indeed, it is a unisex perfume (way before CK1 ever existed). The cool thing is the 4711 is the address of the building where the shop is, and it's been there in Koln for about 300 years! (I've been to it...they have a really cool chimes mechanism that moves at certain hours). And it is STILL AT that location (so if you go to Germany...make sure you go there!!!)
