The scent of the city

What fragrance does Berlin have? 'Energetic, free, lively' is how FRAU
TONIS' perfume emporium describes her eau de cologne devoted to the city.
The perfumery near Hackescher Markt in Mitte opened last year with an
exclusive range of fragrences and perfumes all 'Made in Berlin'. One of the
classics on sale is pure violet, an individual scent worn by film legend
Marlene Dietrich in the 1920s. Nowadays, with the help of sales assistants,
visitors can also create their very own perfume. A Berlin fragrance to take
home.

In Style of Marlene

The hippest shopping mile in Berlin, the Alte Schönhauser has integrated in No. 50, right under the logo of 'Frau Tonis Parfum' a time machine. This leads the customers back to the time, when fragrances manufacture was an exclusives handcraft. The manufacturing of perfume had already existed in the twenties - particularly Marlene Dietrich was one of the most famous customers.

A whiff of Berlin

Give your nose a holiday from the stench of city streets: at Frau Tonis Parfum, you'll find the new scent of Berlin. Inspired by fragrances worn by her mother - which always instilled a sense of happiness in her as a child 83-year-old Ruhr-born Frau Toni fulfilled a life-long dream with the opening of her own perfume boutique last November. Lined with rows of flacons, the shop's simple but sleek white interior exudes an air of nostalgic elegance, while the many fragrances often offer a note of retro sophistication: Veilchen (No. 37) was inspired by the violet scent Marlene Dietrich used to wear; Sminta (No. 20) is reminiscent on Chanel No. 5, a perfume also invented in the 1920s. Toni's "younger" fragrances include the light and fruity Potosi (No. 86), the aromatic, herb - infused "Lavendelwasser" (No.1) and the fruity Tulpe (No. 58), a perfect choice for springtime. All the perfumes are manufactured in Berlin, with oils from France. The prices range from 12 EUR for a 7ml flacon to 88 EUR for 100ml; eau de cologne and aftershave cost 19 EUR for 50ml and 25 EUR for 100ml and you can even "layer" your scent with bath salts (2.50) and soaps (1.50). Frau Tonis also offer customers the opportunity to invent their own perfumes: the staff is happy to help you find a suitable combination and ratio.

More than just 'Berliner Luft'

In Midtown finally stops the searching for the perfect fragrance.

While thinking of Marilyn Monroe, a breath of Chanel No. 5 comes directly into the air. Which flavor would you associate with Marlene Dietrich?
Marlene's favorite perfume was - how it corresponded with her character - an intensive, bizarre flavor: pure violet. Sweet, strong and headstrong, explains Frau Toni, who opened in the late summer the Berlin-Perfume-Manufactory FRAU TONIS PARFUM together with her granddaughter Stefanie Hanssen - and made her dream come true.
Like Marlene's violet perfume, that celebrates its comeback in the shop, all the other 20 fragrance were made exclusively in a manufactory in berlin, which has already existed in the 20´s. Here, perfumes will be created individual. Instead of the opulent ornamentation from the old days, Frau Tonis and her granddaughter apply today to the pureness.
And which customers would you like to have during the Berlinale? It would be great, if Leonardo DiCaprio would come with his girlfriend for a trail lesson, says Stefanie Hanssen.

Only by hearing these names, the summer nearly starts.
