You look so familiar
Poets of Berlin is already the second fragrance from Vilhelm Parfumerie that appeals to me immensely. As with Dear Polly, it's not quite enough for the wish list, but that's just because I already own similar perfumes and find them more beautiful in nuances.

Already when sniffing the spray head I immediately had a good friend in the back of my mind. A very dear, good friend: Meringa from Profumum Roma.

The first spray, however, initially goes in a different direction. Because first I have the impression of a chypre scent. A certain pungency comes up, which I cannot assign to it. The lemon perhaps? The green iris? Whatever green iris smells like. This moment is very entertaining, because after only a few minutes the scent impression, which Meringa is well known for and loves very much, sets in.

Since vanilla is the only thing the two have in common, take a look at the scented pyramids, I would never have expected a relative of my beloved Meringa to be among the Berlin poets. Scented notes are not everything after all. For just as little as I perceive orange blossom in meringa, I smell a blueberry here. My nose tells me with both fragrances that we are dealing with a juicy, rather fresh orange. Where does this picture come from? I have no idea. But that's what I'm looking at.

While the intensely sweet vanilla quickly shows that Meringa is a true gourmand scent, Poets of Berlin remains much fresher throughout. Despite double vanilla in the heart and in the base, this fragrance never drifts completely into sweetness for my nose. The vetiver brings a bit of edge, which also makes the fragrance suitable for summer. Fortunately I can't make out cardboard or something similar.

Sillage and durability are somewhat reduced compared to the meringa, but this is quite sufficient for the summer. Yes, I like the Berlin poets. And I guess I should definitely try several more fragrances from this brand. I'm sure there's one that will surprise me completely and will be allowed to move in at the end. Fine perfumes they are. Just the way I like them. Oh yes, I forgot. If you like meringa, of course try it!
Many thanks to dear Yukiko for the rehearsal.

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.

the vile and terrible Brundle-blueberry
Poets of Berlin from Vilhelm Parfumerie is a vile bioluminescent mutant blueberry thing. A blueberry subjected to a sketchy, underfunded experiment in a prototype telepod but there was also a particle of lemon-aloe-bamboo Glade air freshener in the chamber before it was hermetically sealed as well as a smashed bedazzle gem that fell off of an intern’s acrylic nail, unnoticed. Torn apart atom by atom, the small jammy fruit merged with the glinting shards of sugary bling and a blisteringly caustic glow-in-the-dark citrus-lily. I don’t think David Bowie ever wrote a song about this monster but there was a movie adaptation with Jeff Goldblum.

All I sense is strong tobacco (as in a cigarette) and peach. It is pretty strong in the beginning, but settles into a satisfying gourmand.
