Berlin in Winter, Baruti, 2015 Warm and rich, cozy and comforting, wooly-thick oranges and maroons and lavenders, in deep, darker shades, touched with coffee and rose and resins, reminiscent of 'perfume oils' - that is how Berlin in Winter welcomes you upon its kingdom. Captivating and pleasant, immediately inducing the familiar feel, helping to relax tense muscles in awaiting of the fragrance attacks of the new perfume… Do I value this reassuring perfume composition? Or do I want an olfactory adventure in the - tried and tested, often tired - land of 'rich-and-warm-orientals'? Yes, and yes, or… It boils down to the mood of the moment, of one's particular mindset: what are you looking for right now? Sometimes we choose to walk a well trotted perfume path, coiled in the shawl of easily recognizable olfactory themes. At other occasions, we crave that moment of being arrested by the unexpectedness of the perfumery calling, that shout oozing from the bottle onto your body, and shaking you in the 'WOW!' moment. Panta rhei! (Gr.): nothing is settled, everything flows…, even thought Berlin in Winter is rather 'linear' perfume, without any major gear shifting or twists between the head, heart, and base stages. My impression was that in the early moments coffee was a little more pronounced, while a little later an excellently blended accord of lavender, myrrh, and leather plays more central role in bringing all the notes together. Towards the dry-down, the lavender-leather pin it all together. All the same, these seem to me a welcomed fluctuations than developments in the fragrance's lifespan. Baruti's perfume gets your body and senses to slow down: the world around melts into resinous stillness of winter seen from behind the stained glass of fireplace-warmed interiors. #Baruti #BerlinInWinter #IndigoRMX #SpyrosDrosopoulos #NichePerfumes #Perfume #Fragrance #Parfum #PerfumeReview #FragranceReviews #PerfumeBlog #PerfumeLover #ScentOfTheDay #PerfumeCollection #Olfaction #Scent #Parfumerie #Spicy #Autumnal #WinterPerfumes #WinterEvenings #Nooud #OrientalPerfumes #GourmandPerfumes
