Is Berlin by Joop! still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued for some time. It is now primarily available through collectors and secondary marketplace websites, often at a premium price due to its cult status and scarcity.
How does the performance of Berlin compare to other Joop! fragrances?+−
Much like the legendary Joop! Homme, Berlin is known for its formidable strength. It offers above-average longevity and significant sillage, meaning a few sprays are typically enough to last through an entire day or an evening out.
What is the best time of year to wear this fragrance?+−
Berlin is remarkably versatile for a vintage scent. Its fruity top notes make it pleasant for spring, while the warm amber, caramel, and woody base notes provide enough depth and "heat" to hold up during the fall and winter months.
Is this a very sweet "sugar" scent like modern gourmands?+−
While it features notes like caramel, tonka bean, and vanilla, the sweetness in Berlin is balanced by spicy carnation, green notes, and woods. It is more of a "creamy-floral" sweetness rather than the edible, candy-like sugar found in today's mainstream desserts scents.
