Fodor's Expert Review Harry Lehmann
Charlottenburg
Specialty Stores
If you want a taste—or rather, a smell—of old Berlin, head to Harry Lehmann on Kantstrasse in Charlottenburg. The shopkeeper will greet you in a white lab coat, helpfully explaining the origin and inspiration of the expertly mixed perfumes, which fill large apothecary jars along a mirrored wall. This is definitely old-school—the shop was opened in 1926. Scents are fresh, simple, and clean, and a 30 ml bottle (€15.50) makes for a reasonably priced gift or souvenir.
