What does Berlin Soul smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out; it reads more masculine to many, though it is unisex. Birkholz Cinema Collection - Kida and Zousz Black Oud have a close profile.

The top notes are hazelnut and whisky. In the heart, iris, tobacco, vetiver, sandalwood, oud and cedarwood build a woody, smoky base. Patchouli, amber, tonka bean and musk then sweeten and soften it at the base.
