What does Berlin smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine and modern.

It opens with orange, spices and gin. Towards the heart come cranberry, apple and geranium, giving it a fruity, green feel. In the base, moss, sandalwood and ambrette seed set a calm foundation. Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Wild Ride and Hugo Boss Boss Bottled have a close profile.
