What does Berlin smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters spread their picks fairly evenly across autumn, winter and spring, with summer a little behind. It leans towards leisure, nights out and evenings rather than daytime or office wear. On character, masculine takes a small lead, but feminine and modern votes are close behind.

The notes read as a single whole: Calabrian bergamot and cumin give a spiced brightness, while leather, smoke, oud and frankincense set the dark tone. Oakmoss, animalic notes and salt sharpen it, and vanillin, tonka bean absolute and ambergris pull it towards sweetness.
