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 wanted to evoke the concrete and steel of the Berlin - and the forest and lakes on the edge of the city.
Carefree summers , the freshness of the water, swimming at the Strandbad Wannsee. And gritty urban living, it’s leather, smoke, spices, cups of black tea, being inside and underground. Decadent, poor but sexy. It’s a city of nature, 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
