Simple Scents-ibility

In a world where perfumes are known for their celebrity endorsements and packaging, it’s easy to forget that fragrances are about personal style and taste. Frau Tonis Parfum in Berlin is a fresh reminder. Step into their minimalist, lab-white shop in Mitte, the city’s centre of hip, and you’ll find an array of simple glass flacons lining the shelves.

Set to smell good

You’ll find more than 20 scents, such as tuberose, jasmine and Marlene Dietrich’s fave violet, all made in Berlin. But the best thing is, if nothing strikes the right note (geddit), these olfactory angels can make you a custom blend, and they’ll keep the details on file when you’re ready for a refill.

And if ol’ grumpelstiltskin complains about your shopping, grab him an aftershave or eau de cologne and talk some scents into him.
