Obituary

In my opinion, Berlin was the best and most universal fragrance from JOOP! All the others were or are aimed at a specific target group and suitable for certain occasions. Either for the big appearance, for young girls like "All about Eve," or for intimate moments. Berlin, on the other hand, was a fragrance that always fit. A scent that could easily be worn as a signature fragrance without becoming boring or too one-dimensional.

With its cool, rather creamy-fruity top note, it didn't scare anyone off right from the start. The floral and very elegant heart note didn't overwhelm anyone, even though it reads quite opulently. No single flower takes the lead here. A balanced, positive elegant mood spreads, which would never be inappropriate.
And so the dry down reveals itself: silky-soft and delicately powdery with excellent longevity.

Berlin was elegant and feminine, and one of those fragrances you could confidently take to a deserted island.

Oh, that was just beautiful... wiping away a tear. I was in my early 20s and this scent made me feel as "attracted" as a well-fitting favorite dress that makes you feel good. The fragrance would still work well today. I don’t understand why the good Joops had to go... and Femme is still sitting on the bottom shelf.

Too bad, I never tried it. But from how you describe the scent, it must have been lovely.

Very good comment, but I really don’t like Joop fragrances at all.

And it was off the market faster than it was developed. What a shame.

Really a shame, I liked it a lot. And it suited Berlin well too.

Ah, it makes me nostalgic to think of him... because he will sadly never return. I still don't know why they discontinued him. I'd rather have Joop Femme *sniff*. My mini will stay, and so will the memories.

I don't find any scent from Joop particularly great. I bet I would have liked this one too.
