Berlin, the exciting, young city where the atmosphere of change and new beginnings can still be felt today. It is a clear winter's day, we have been strolling through the parks, wrapped up warm in wool coats and scarves, smiling at each other under our hats, huddling together, seeking shelter from the cold wind in the long street canyons and doorways.
Finally, we arrive home. We are greeted by subdued, warm light and the golden scent of tea, sweets, spirits and winter temptations.
Spicy lavender and green, resinous mastic combine with a serious hint of rose, tickled by blackcurrant and sweet plum.
Delicacies are evoked with notes of coffee and whisky, rounded off with incense, myrrh, soft leather and a dash of the house's own Noouds. ‘Berlin im Winter’ is not necessarily a Christmas perfume, even if the golden scent and incense and myrrh might suggest it, but it is certainly a wonderful gift.
