I have it good,

it's easy for me;)

just rename the girl, from Berlin, to the Diandl from Vienna!

Since I didn't expect much, the surprise is great, something is coming :D
That's how we Austrians are;D ! And yes,
I’m into the little rose, we will apply for adoption at Lutens.
Not a typical Lutens, hm...
no? I know the "majestic rose", also the "Rose Night", I’m not afraid of his rose scents
I know what to expect and for me they are typically Lutens;).
Typical Serge Lutens is also the marketing concept, better not to read up on it,
such a pile of nonsense;).
But at least you can choose whether Serge was inspired by his mother, who was not a Berliner,
by Marlene Dietrich, rubble women, Richard Wagner, the golden twenties, or who knows what cliché
he was inspired by.
I have freely chosen according to the concept "the sinner" (Hildegard Knef), for my Berlin,
tested the scent extensively, before and after reading any stories and Berlin has
not developed negatively for me, even through this over-information of unnecessary things.
Mr. Lutens has awakened expectations, like bloodthirsty -
tragic fear rose, reverent, sublime, you certainly won't smell that direction. You get a rose on the first spray, like Annick Goutal (Rose Splendide).
A sour, very fruity fresh May rose reminiscent of pear, definitely geranium
and a lot of hesperidic notes are bouncing around! Slightly prickly in the nose (if you like, also peppery;)
I notice a very rapid scent progression, the Berliner is young, she is in a hurry!
There is something green-grassy heading towards the heart note, the rose dries up a bit,
the peppery (very lightly) fades away.
Now it becomes gourmand, juicy lemon, good powdered sugar. In Berlin it now clearly smells like lokum :D and very blackberry-like :D
but it’s definitely cassie:-)--> the red gummy bear will soon be in fashion, I’ve read;)
Berlin becomes fuller, heavier from the heart note, a bit
plump and much softer, white musk takes the lead role. Berlin might be a scent like many rose scents in the beginning,
but the transition from rose to musk scent through this beautifully gourmand aspect is already different.
What I love very much about this scent, where I find it so special for myself, is the journey from the heart note,
to the middle of the base. This part of the fragrance is accompanied by a wonderfully metallic tone,
which indeed reminds a bit of blood and that I can almost taste, very WOW.

Cosmopolitan, elegant, friendly... but not too much, young but not childish,
pretty, very pretty, almost beautiful. Eccentric, very sexy and yet at a distance.
Wearable around the clock, adapts to and suits every occasion.
The longevity is very, veeeery decent!!

I definitely find this Lutens suitable for men, simply perfect for rose and gourmand lovers!
The color of the scent, this exaggerated red is pink, very genius, from sweat/blood, too over the top;)
I’ve understood the scent for myself and finally also found a Lutens that I desire.

I’m now putting on my pink glasses and looking forward:)

Hats off to the Berliner!

Did I mention how sexy the scent is?!
No? Very!!!!

I think it's great too. But as a Berliner, I insist that it doesn't get adopted... haha :D

You've written quite a bit about this sexy girl, haven't you... I also think it's nice when you praise someone for once! A Stuttgart person isn't growing up with so much pink since U21, everything is getting cut down... That's why we're all heading to Berlin ;o))))

I devoured your description; the scent would probably be too green-grassy for me :)

I wish I could have perceived the Berlin girl like you did :) I didn't find her beautiful at all, but I think it's great that she gets some positive attention too :)

Someone really understood Lutens and his Berliner - and once again made the little dove curious, ;-)! A crystal trophy for the roses!

Dear Ms. Strawberry, the scent is definitely a "must" for you just based on its appearance! ;D
