The traditional “Harry Lehmann” business will be continued.
Das Ladengeschäft ist wieder geöffnet.
Nach vielen Monaten hingebungsvoller Arbeit hat unser Ladengeschäft in der Kantstr. 106, 10627 Berlin am 22.3.2024 wieder geöffnet.
Alt und doch modern
Wir haben viel Zeit und Liebe in die Renovierung und Aufbereitung des Interieurs des geschichtsträchtigen Ladens in Berlin-Charlottenburg gesteckt. Vieles ist geblieben, einiges ist in die Moderne geführt.
Wir freuen uns auf Sie!
So wie bei Ihnen, ist auch unsere Freude über die Wiedereröffnung riesig. Also kommen Sie vorbei und entdecken Sie den neuen Laden mit uns. Wir freuen uns darauf Sie kennenzulernen!
our promise
We make every effort to continue the business in the old tradition, although careful modernization and initial changes to the usual are unavoidable. Taking over an almost 100-year-old business without the appropriate handover or knowledge of all the details is a big task that not only requires a lot of strength and courage, but also entails a great responsibility towards history, but also to the customers.
As young Berliners with roots in the city, we are grateful for this special opportunity together with a well-known perfumer from Paris to be able to continue the traditional business with our expertise. Especially in these early days, we would like to thank you for your suggestions, anecdotes as well as your patience and understanding if something is not “like it used to be”. We look forward to the next few years and the continuation of over 70 fragrances from Harry Lehmann!
The concept
The unique and still successful concept of "perfume by weight" still fits well into the spirit of the times today: purchasing quantities based on needs, reusing bottles and your own containers, no boxes as outer packaging, local bottling and customizable fragrances.
Many of these elements will remain. At the same time, customer requirements have evolved over the years, which is why there will be adjustments during the transition to modernity: There is now a fully-fledged online shop where over 70 fragrances can be purchased - initially in fixed sizes 10ml, 30ml or 100ml. Initially, it is only possible to have individual fragrance mixtures filled in the store, including in bottles you bring with you.
The range
When we reopen, we will again have over 70 creations by Harry Lehmann. Unfortunately, individual recipes were lost during the closure of the store in 2022. With these few exceptions that we were able to reconstruct, all fragrances are produced according to the old recipes. Instead of packaging, we choose small fabric bags to protect the bottles in the shipping boxes.
We consciously focus on a complete fragrance experience because this is where our expertise lies. Artificial flowers and feathers from ornamental birds will therefore no longer be available in the range for the time being.
The shop
Since 1958, the world-famous address on Kantstr. 106 fragrances and artificial flowers sold. The store and its furnishings were nostalgic and have historical significance. Time seemed to have stood still for this place in Berlin. Several generations and many employees have led and shaped the business with heart and friendliness.
After so many years (over 65 years!) it was absolutely necessary to clean up the shop, renovate it and bring it into the modern era while preserving the well-known elements. After a thorough refresh, the iconic neon sign , the large bottles, the iconic stars of the ceiling lighting, the counter and reclaimed wooden shelves remain intact. Even the scent pyramid in the shop window will continue to exist.
We were also able to have the city-famous dripper and other lamps from the 1950s restored. These are waiting for you as a little surprise when we reopen.
