Longing for Berlin
The second most famous quote after the unforgettable words of political star John F. Kennedy, "Ich bin ein Berliner," are the closing words in Berlin - a city fate of art critic Karl Scheffler, who noted in 1910:
"Like a witty word of self-irony, this hard-determined city individual helps itself over the hidden tragedy of its existence (...) over the tragedy of a fate that (...) condemns Berlin: to always become and never to be."

The aim of Frau Tonis Parfum is to capture the spirit of this metropolis, perhaps the only German metropolis. Does it succeed in this case?

The fragrance embodies a fruity-sweet curious, cheerful youthfulness. It is fresh, it is unisex, it is a mood lifter. I feel transported back to the time when I eagerly set out on my first journey to the "Big City." Even several sprays never let it become "too much."

But then the "dark side": As much as it excites, it vanishes just as quickly. It leaves us with positive thoughts - but it leaves us. It leaves us with the desire for "more," for a new thrill.

Would the fragrance be better with better performance? It would score higher in this rating category, but it wouldn't be better, as it would distort its character. It is a shadow that it fades so quickly, but it is a shadow that underscores its character.

With 4-5 sprays, it is still perceptible at arm's length for about 3 hours, after which it becomes intimate.

Is it recommendable? I forgot to mention another strength of the perfume: It is very affordable. I believe that due to its unobtrusive yet so positive nature, the fragrance, combined with the unbeatable price-performance ratio, has the potential to be a daily companion - especially in the spring and summer months, even in the office routine. Therefore: Clear purchase recommendation.

It should be noted: Dit is Balin.

Fresh, lightly cedar-like, clean but also with some depth and warmth from the cardamom - A cozy freshie.

Has little to do with Berlin - fresh laundry on light wood.
Fine citrus, delicate cardamom in the background.
Well-groomed and subtle.

A little freshness kick on a subtle wooden base. Somehow I know Berlin to be rougher and louder, day and night... still pleasant.

fresh, citrusy scent that never feels overpowering in summer. Unfortunately, it only lasts a very short time on my skin.

Too delicate and clean for Berlin. Woke up in fresh laundry, just gently shaved, used Sweet Lemon Cologne, off into the summer morning.
