A part of my city
i also tested the fragrance for the first time in 15West and can recommend the store without reservation - especially if you want to discover something that you want to experience olfactorily away from the "luxury brand mainstream".
As a native Berliner, I was very curious to see how a perfumer would capture the city. With a multicultural city that is not only characterized by one scent, I was very curious and at the same time had a very clear idea after Marc explained to me how Miguel Matos' journey through Berlin went.
Initially, I thought somewhat naively that it could also be something spring-like when the sweet-smelling lime trees bloom in Berlin and the city awakens from its winter slumber. It could just as easily have been a culinary potpourri of classic currywurst, kebab, Vietnamese cuisine, a Viennese bakery or, in short, what the Bergmannkiez has to offer.
But it should be the Berlin club scene and, above all, the techno scene. And I'm being honest. Capturing the club scene as a wearable fragrance didn't seem possible to me, because my scent associations ranged from vodka bull, fags, sweat, a mixture of all the perfumes that are currently being hyped at TikTok, fog machine fumes and a boozy corpse who has already overdone it with the pre-drinking.
What the scent does, however, is almost unbelievable.
The opening hit me like a steam hammer. 5 minutes of a mixture of animalic, smoke, sweat from the cumin, something pungently synthetic and leathery. In short - overwhelming
After the initial shock has subsided, this fragrance becomes very exciting. As a lover of Leder 6, I did find some parallels. The Berlin is the big brother of Leder 6, the more experienced of the two, has been in the club for much longer and parties even more uninhibitedly in skimpier leather, but with much more physical contact. This pairing of sweet notes, leather and animal notes makes it a party excess for the nose. Nevertheless, the overload is gone and you can only feel the hammering basses massaging your nose and imagination. A trance is created from which it is difficult to escape.
It is incredible and, above all, incredibly good. Its sweet woody base, which is accompanied by a light smokiness, becomes softer and softer and ends in a body-cosmic embrace that makes you forget. You no longer remember when you entered the club, let alone the day you left it.
For me, the art of the fragrance lies in its dominance, roughness and simultaneous sedan chair. Definitely not the office fragrance category. However, I can well imagine that this fragrance could do the rest with a spritz on a somewhat sparkling date.
It's definitely worth experiencing, just like the Berlin club scene is. At the same time, many will think to themselves afterwards: That's enough for now.
Challenging, complex and exciting - a fragrance that is like an experience and definitely worth a test.
