What does Poets of Berlin smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter getting the fewest votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for the office and evenings. Voters read it as more feminine and modern than masculine.

The notes come across as one whole rather than a top-to-base progression. Lemon and blueberry give a fruity freshness, while bamboo brings out the green side. Haitian vetiver and wild iris add a woody footing. Spicy, creamy and sweet accords soften the green edge and add a gourmand touch.
