J.f. schwarzlose berlin has its roots in 1856, when Joachim Friedrich Schwarzlose — a piano maker by profession — opened a pharmacy near Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin. His sons transformed that business into a true perfumery, which in 1869 was granted the title of supplier to the Prussian royal court. Surviving decades of European history, the maison was declared closed in 1976. In November 2012, the name was revived by designer Lutz Herrmann, French perfumer Véronique Nyberg, and partner Tamas Tagscherer: three distinct figures united by the desire to make Berlin an olfactory language. Each fragrance is born from precious oils in high concentration; each bottle — heavy glass, embossed logo, handcrafted brass cap — is designed as an object in itself, bearing the visual mark of the house just as the scent carries it to the nose.

The J.f. schwarzlose berlin selection on Papique

The seven products in the catalog cover the entire expressive range of the house: from the most architectural and dry compositions — where leather, resins, and woods echo the imperial Berlin — to the more airy and contemporary creations, designed for those seeking a fragrance that tells a story of a city rather than chasing a trend. The selection includes both Eau de Parfum and home fragrances, for those who wish for that olfactory identity to inhabit spaces as well as skin. Each fragrance is conceived for connoisseurs who do not need to be loud to assert their taste.

Browse the selection to navigate through the various offerings: the product sheets provide the olfactory notes, concentration, and every detail useful for making an informed choice.
