The story
J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin began in 1856 as a chemist’s and colonial goods shop founded by piano maker Joachim Friedrich Schwarzlose near Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt. The family business grew into an internationally active perfume house, closed in 1976, and was revived in 2012.
The current house combines historical names and Berlin references with a precise modern design language. Creative Director Lutz Herrmann and perfumer Véronique Nyberg translate that history into scents that read Berlin as a place of art, change, and contrasts.
01 · Origins

From a Berlin shop to a perfume house

In 1856, Joachim Friedrich Schwarzlose founded a chemist’s and colonial goods shop in Berlin. In 1869, the family acquired the title of royal purveyor to the court. After taking over Treu & Nuglisch in 1902, the company expanded internationally. These historical layers remain the context for present-day names such as 1A-33.

02 · Revival

Berlin as a creative present

After the historic company closed in 1976, the brand was revived in 2012. Lutz Herrmann brought his experience as a fragrance-bottle designer and Creative Director. Véronique Nyberg discovered the brand through Herrmann and set out to connect its historic fragrances with a contemporary twist.

03 · Scent concept

Historic names, new perspectives

The collection works with historic references and contemporary images of Berlin. Leder 6 revisits Spanisch Leder from 1921, while 20|20 draws on the aesthetic of the Golden Twenties. The past is not reconstructed so much as used as material for new scent ideas.
Lutz Herrmann, Creative Director of J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin

Community

What the community says about Schwarzlose Berlin

10/10
„Finale enters like a confident fruit basket and lingers like a good chat at the harbor's edge. The fruity sweetness meets tobacco and wood without losing its grounded feel. Charming, cozy, and surprisingly versatile. One of those you can't get enough of—not a fragrance for gloomy thoughts, but for a good mood.“

„Personally, I don't like it at all. On my skin, it smells too much like smoke and somehow like ash.“
