Nice versatile all-rounder
Pleasant scent, very weak performance. Too much neroli and too little linden blossom for my taste.

Details on J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin 1A-33
1A-33 is the first reinterpretation and one of the most successful fragrances from J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin. Already a bestseller in the 1950s, the composition remained popular for decades. The extraordinary fragrance formula combines the delightful linden blossom, magnolia, and jasmine, along with a fresh top note of mandarin and spicy red pepper. The name of the fragrance embodies the German capital, based on the former Berlin car license plate. 1A stood for Berlin, and the number 33 represented the company's location in Moabit.

Floral linden
I found the opening of the fragrance to be very intense. Fortunately, the pink pepper only showed up to a limited extent, and the first impression slowly became somewhat milder and more harmonious. After about fifteen minutes, a very beautiful floral accord emerged, which really pleasantly reminded me of linden trees. Unfortunately, this floral linden accord completely abandoned me after 3 hours, leaving only iris and cedar to keep me company. After the initial burst of fragrance has settled down a bit, I would certainly consider it suitable for everyday wear and a candidate for year-round use.

Fresh but no depth
The fragrance is pleasant and fresh. At first sniff, you really smell lemon. For me, it's a bit boring and doesn't last very long on my skin. It definitely lacks depth.
