№ 18 Bogota Berlin Frau Tonis Parfum 1890 Parfum

By the editors · 2 min readLime opens bright and sharply effervescent, slicing through the bergamot’s softer citrus oil to create a sparkling, almost fizzy introduction that feels cooler than typical lemon colognes. Jasmine enters quickly, its indolic creaminess folding into the remaining citrus, while lily of the valley injects a dewy green facet that keeps the heart from turning fully white-floral sweet. As the citrus volatiles burn off, tonka bean’s soft almond-like coumarin surfaces, lending a faint hay warmth that cushions the clean musk riding underneath. The dry-down stays close to skin, a pale blond wood impression created more by airy musk and vanillic coumarin than by any actual timber, projecting politely for roughly four hours before folding into a freshly laundered linen whisper. Spring office wear suits it best, yet the lime lift lets it survive humid summer commutes without turning cloying.
