Great time

Vanilla - yes. Berries - not that much. I would put fruitiness down at the bottom alongside spiciness.
Sweet, gourmand, woody, creamy, with a touch of green. Not cloying. Comforting unisex: remember that not all vanilla-dominant perfumes got to be females only, despite what some people think. In fact, I can see the creator, mr. Jerome, pulling this fragrance on himself with ease.
I suggest to test it on your skin and see how it works. I'm sure you will have a great time.

Blueberry magic

Oh this is beautiful. I love it. It's a perfect blend of sweet, but not cloying, biscuit; light citrusy fruit; and a bit of heady floral. I definitely smell blueberries, a fruity sweetness along with mild citrus. Weirdly, this reminds me of Perry Ellis 360, which I loved in the 1990s. There's a similar note in there that is magical.

Unique berry

Poets of Berlin is different from anything I've smelled so far. It's unique, artsy, adventurous, and definitely made for the avant-garde types.

The opening is a tart berry with an almost caramelized vanilla undertone. As it dries, the vanilla stays but a decidedly bitter-green note also pulls through. For me, this note represents the bitter vine from which the berry was plucked. From a distance, I catch little whiffs of that caramel aroma, but close up, I smell the leafy, bitter note and it can be a bit jarring.

I feel like this fragrance may be trying too hard to be two very conflicting things: gourmand and green at the same time. The mixture is either jarring or intriguing, depending on who you ask. It's not unpleasant but I think you need a certain personality to truly feel "at home" in this fragrance.

Lemon blueberry bread with a tinge of green

A sample obtained through Etiket when my boyfriend came along and sniffed a couple of perfumes. Even though he finally ended up not liking this one as much as he thought he would, he left me the vial so I could try it on my skin.

A wall of healthy green bamboos surges as the perfume settles on my skin. There's a strong green aspect to it, but also a freshness and a slight undertone of spiciness that beckons me further in the scent. I know bamboos are nowhere to be seen in the notes on Parfumo, but bamboo is mentioned in the description on a few fragrance websites and I do smell it. After a few minutes, it recedes and that's when the magic starts to happen. I'm met with a pleasant blueberry that's partnered with lemon and married to vanilla. The accord gives off blueberry and lemon cake. Blueberries are warm and sweet while lemons are fruity and a little bit tangy. Vanilla is bakery-like in its sweetness. After about half an hour, I start detecting a green floral aspect which could very well be the green iris. It lends a slightly powdery tinge to the perfume, that enhances the dessert aspect of the perfume, keeping it from getting too sickeningly sweet. Fragrance starts radiating warmth and woodiness after about 2 hours, giving it cozy, comfy vibes. It becomes a bit more creamy thanks to the sandalwood note and vetiver softens everything up. The final drydown is a slightly fruity and creamy vanilla with a bit of woodiness.

I have to say it's one of the best bakery-like scent I've smelled even though there's a green note that stands out at the beginning. I don't think Vilhelm parfumerie was aiming for the bakery-type theme, but it's still a beautiful scent. It radiates warmth, but also sophistication and elegance. It's not too strong, but surrounds you with a lovely bubble. The green note paired with the bakery scent is unfortunately what will be stopping me from buying a full bottle as I'm not a fan of this association, but I have to admit I was tempted for awhile to get a full bottle!

The atmosphere of creative Berlin

When I first brought the perfume to my nose, I immediately heard a vanilla-cream aroma with hints of baking. When I applied it, I felt blueberries and a little sourness from lemon. As the alcohol wore off, the blueberry flavor intensified, keeping the lemon from getting through. At the moment of transition to the middle, it felt like chewing gum, but I could not understand the taste. In the middle, green iris and vanilla opened up. The aroma turned into a soft musk, with light notes of sweetness, and if combined together, I felt the aroma of melon, there is something similar. At the end, sandalwood, vetiver and the same vanilla begin to smell. The aroma continues to be sweet, but now adds woody notes with a spicy accord.
