J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Trance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Véronique Nyberg. J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin's Trance carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just another rose-oud; Trance is a polarising, intoxicating brew of jammy rose and earthy darkness that demands attention. Some find it a masterpiece of sensual depth, others a challenging, even 'animalic' experiment that goes off the rails on skin. Definitely try before you buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Trance is too assertive for most office settings but perfect for dates or sophisticated evening events where its sensual nature can shine. It's a night-time autumn scent, not suited for casual wear or sport.

About

Trance opens with a rich, jammy Turkish rose, sweet and almost syrupy, underpinned by a distinct, earthy oud. As it settles, the artemisia emerges, adding a herbaceous, slightly bitter greenness that cuts through the sweetness. The base reveals a deep, resinous labdanum, bringing warmth, a leathery nuance, and a sensual, sometimes animalic, depth that lingers long after application.
