The Berlin story
"Does Berlin smell of Berlin? Wearing it today while living in Berlin, I can say, yes!" – Olaf, EauxLove (perfume-lover & writer), Germany
Woody, citrus, spicy — a contrast of light and dark
“I want to evoke the cool urban living of Berlin – above all the forests
and lakes on the edge of the city. Carefree summers, the freshness of the
water, swimming at the Strandbad Wannsee. Nature. And a contrast with the more
decadent side of this city: it’s leather, smoke, spices, cups of black tea.
It’s a city of greenery and modern bohemians.”
The perfume notes:
A citrus, spicy, woody play of notes
Top: Fresh and zingy notes of grapefruit, clementine, lemon and schinus molle co2 extract
Mid: A spicy heart containing black pepper and black tea
Base: woody undertones of Haitian vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli
