What does Berlin (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes are peach, bergamot, plum and green notes, giving a fruity, green freshness. In the heart, heliotrope, iris, rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine bring a floral, powdery character. The base is led by the sweetness of tonka bean, vanilla, amber and caramel, while cedar and sandalwood give it a dry woody footing.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters recommend it for spring and fall, though summer and winter are close behind, so it isn't tied to one season. It is worn from daily and leisure use to the office and evenings out. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic or modern.
