The Berlin Story
"Does Berlin smell of Berlin? Wearing today while living in Berlin, I can say, yes!"
– Olaf, EauxLove (perfume lover and writer), Germany
Woody, citrus, spicy — a contrast of light and dark
“I want to evoke the concrete and steel of 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:
Light and dark. A citrus, spicy, woody play of notes. Fresh and zingy top notes of grapefruit, clementine, lemon and schinus molle co2 extract. A spicy heart containing black pepper and black tea, and woody undertones of Haitian
vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli
