A Weekend Trip to Berlin that Ended in Thoughts of Versailles
Sometimes we need a bit of hustle and bustle, so off to Berlin. There’s always something new to discover, but I still have to go to KaDeWe. I’m only interested in the breathtaking perfume department. I always feel like I’m in my perfume heaven there.
This time, however, I ultimately stopped at Birkholz and wanted to test a few scents.
And then, after the third fragrance, I got to test Versailles. I smelled it, and yes, I absolutely wanted to try it on my skin and really let it sit for a long time. So I strolled around again, repeatedly smelling my hand.
It starts off very powerful with a cinnamon note, without becoming bothersome; the bergamot gives off slight citrus vibes. As it develops, the frankincense paired with lavender comes through, which is really beautiful. The cinnamon remains pleasantly present the whole time. I don’t perceive the patchouli, but the lovely vetiver is noticeable.
For me, it’s such a beautiful sweet creamy scent that has a wonderful spicy note.
With this fragrance, you somehow feel like you’re tracing the footsteps of the Palace of Versailles. It’s as if you’re wearing an opulently beautiful dress, complemented by the scent, and strolling through the gardens of Versailles.
Birkholz is a fantastic brand with incredibly beautiful fragrances; I love this scent. It can be worn for everyday life, as well as for lovely evenings and big events. In a larger office, I would be a bit more cautious, as Versailles is not a quiet, subtle scent, but rather somewhat loud.
