Fragrance house

Birkholz

Birkholz is a Berlin-based, family-run perfume house launched in November 2017. Its stated vision combines a Berlin manufacture with handcrafted fragrances, guided by themes of manufacture, family, individuality, exclusivity, and approachability. Founder and creative director Philip Birkholz develops the brand’s concepts and works with international perfumers to realize them. The house frames its fragrances as individualized expressions of personality, drawing on travel, places, cultures, emotions, and memories. Its first collections were Classic and Berlin; Woody followed in 2019 and Black in 2021. By September 2024, Birkholz presented five collections—Black, Woody, Italian, French, and Classic—shaped by references ranging from historic perfumery and the British Isles to Italian and French cities and a worldwide fragrance journey. Berlin Soul, from the early Berlin collection, and Dark Amber, from the 2021 Black Collection, are both labeled bestsellers by Birkholz.
