That's the most beautiful scent for the winter

Legend has it that a different scent was created for the Egyptian queen every day - unfortunately we do not have the resources. On average, Germans buy about three fragrances a year. The season plays a big role. While in summer you prefer fresh and fruity compositions, winter may be warmer and heavier.

So it`s perfect that our favorite niche fragrance manufactory Frau Tonis Parfum created "No. 30 Thé Arabique ". The Eau de Parfum smells beautifully heavy and spicy with black tea, dry Irish whiskey, ripe quince, musk and vanilla. On the skin the scent molecules turns into their soft side. The best: "No. 30 Thé Arabique "by Frau Tonis Parfum is unisex – that means it is suitable for both men and women.

Tourist trappings

Berlin's heady summers and nonconformist style can't really be bottled, but still, there are some liquid treats to bring home for a bit of the city's spirit - inside and out. For a waft of the past, try Frau Tonis. The local vintage-influenced perfumery Frau has a triptych of scents that evoke the Roaring Twenties in Berlin. 

There's Linde Berlin 10 reveres the Linden, or Lime Trees That Perfume the City's Boulevards; Violets 37, the fragrance worn by Twenties film legend Marlene Dietrich, and Bogota Berlin 18, which is inspired by the quirky and recently closed Hotel Bogata, which played host and muse to artists from Benny Goodman to Helmut Newton to Mario Testino.

Berlin in a Bottle

There a few things as powerful as scent to arouse a vivid memory. For Stefanie Hanssen, it was her grandmother's unique rose perfume that inspired her to open Frau Tonis Parfum, a chic perfume boutique around the corner from Checkpoint Charlie. She carries a blend patterned after that unforgettable heady fragrance, as well as several scents that were inspired by Berlin itself.

The one called No. 10 is loaded with the sweetness of the blooming linden trees that line Unter den Linden, one of the city's grandest streets. Even more popular is No. 37, a replica of the vintage violet-heavy scent worn by Berlin legend Marlene Dietrich. And if none of the three dozen options on offer suit a buyer's tastes, custom blends are available.

The scent of the past

Fragrances can trigger memories, we´re wired that way. ...Experts at Frau Tonis, Berlin´s world-renowned perfumery, believe nostalgia has both emotional and spiritual significance.They believe that many fragrances arouse pure emotion; for example, Oud (derived from Agarwood) arouses devotion.

For this writer, Oud Weiss, an oriental classic with subtle hints of sandalwood and tobacco, is a trip back to moonlit desert soirees by Bedouin herdsmen, and the robust single-stringed Rababah.

 

Luxos Magazine

"Frau Tonis Parfum offers capital city flair in a bottle. The most wonderful fragrances can be acquired here - you can even get custom-blended perfumes to match your style and tastes.This year's winter special is "OUD Weiss".

The perfume's palette includes notes of bergamot, cedar wood, sandalwood, amber and oud - otherwise known as "agarwood". This resinous heartwood of aquilaria trees is considered to be the "embodiment of erotic perfume".

Incense pleasures

Europe´s freezing climes inspired its perfumers to experiment with oud. "Our clients favor warm, spicy, earthy and embracing fragrances to escape cold and dark winter days. Oriental perfumes such as our NO. 19 Oud Weiss are preferred," explains Stefanie Hanssen, owner of Berlin´s celebrated Frau Tonis Parfums, and one of Europe´s leading noses.

Indeed, oud combined with bergamot, sandalwood and cedar, Oud Weiss breathes notes of tobacco and incense, and unfolds gently with amber, like the tender embrace of a loved one.

KaDeWe X Frau Tonis Parfum fragrance range

As an ode to the buzzing metropolises of Germany, the KaDeWe Group have created three special edition, unisex fragrances capturing the spirit of Berlin, Hamburg and Münich.
The perfume house behind bottling the German zeitgeist, Berlin-based perfumeur Frau Tonis Parfum, has created a series of signature fragrances playing on the characteristics of each individual city. Berlin, a sweet yet sexy mix of Bergamot, lemon and water lilies stands in stark contrast against Hamburg, elegantly masculine, with notes of mint, sandalwood and iris. We particularly love the vibrating scent of Münich, an eccentric mix of Bergamot, white tea, rose, coriander, amber and musk.

Berlin Inspires

Frau Tonis Parfum

What Frau Tonis doesn’t know about making lovely smells isn’t worth knowing. Not only can visitors purchase a completely unique, made-in-Berlin scent from the extensive selection, but those feeling brave can try their hand at creating a perfume of their own. This is a chance for anyone who’s ever sniffed at celebrity fragrance spinoffs to put their money where their, well, nose is. How hard can it be?
