Vilhelm Parfumerie Poets of Berlin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Jérôme Epinette. Poets of Berlin opens with Blueberry and Lemon, settles into a heart of Orris and Bamboo, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Poets of Berlin carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. While some adore its unique blueberry-vanilla-green blend, a fair few smell anything from wet dirt and old cigarettes to sickly sweet lemon candy. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Poets of Berlin opens with a sharp, tart burst of blueberry and lemon, often interpreted as green and earthy rather than purely juicy fruit. This quickly transitions into a creamy, powdery heart where orris and bamboo add a distinctive clean, slightly green and woody character. The dry down settles into a warm, often gourmand-leaning vanilla and sandalwood base, sometimes underscored by a hint of vetiver's earthiness.
