Berlin

Miguel Matos · 2024

Sweet · Synthetic · Spicy

Miguel Matos Berlin is a unisex scent where sweet and leathery meet spice and smoke, with a synthetic and animalic edge. 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.

Vertus · 2015

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Vertus 1001 is a unisex fragrance that runs floral and sweet, with spicy and powdery touches leaning it towards the oriental side. It opens with saffron, cardamom and ginger for a spiced warmth, while bergamot and lime lighten it slightly. In the heart, damask rose absolute, iris and violet take the lead, giving the floral side a soft, powdery feel. In the base, amber, sandalwood, vanillin and musk sweeten it and settle it on a woody footing. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and over half of voters find the longevity high, though the small number of votes keeps that picture tentative. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. Guerlain Samsara (Eau de Parfum) and Amouage Lyric Woman (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Versȧtıle · 2025

Green · Fruity · Sweet

Versȧtıle It's a Match-a is a unisex scent that opens with matcha, Italian bergamot and Italian lemon, then softens into vanilla and coumarin. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it sits close to the skin and stays quiet. The number of votes is small, so this reading is tentative.
