About This Perfume
Poets of Berlin by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Poets of Berlin was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Jérôme Epinette. Top notes are Blueberry and Lemon; middle notes are Bamboo and Orris; base notes are Vanilla, Sandalwood and Vetiver. "Named for David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, Poets of Berlin is a subtly sugary confection of blueberry and lemon. But Poets of Berlin isn't just empty calories: its vetiver undercurrent makes it the perfect perfume metaphor for the serious talent underneath Bowie's glittery glam." Top notes: blueberry, lemon. Heart: bamboo, green wild orris. Base: vanilla bean, sandalwood, vetiver. Vilhelm Parfumerie Poets of Berlin is available as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
