Li Dr. Albersheim, that first saw the light of day in 1925, sits firmly in the category of a feminine fragrance. The nose behind this fragrance — Moritz Albersheim.
Country of origin — Germany: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Li unfolds as a living composition, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Dr. Albersheim is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
Its classification still comes through through movement from opening to drydown.
Even with partial top-note data the olfactory line still reads cohesive and focused, and the very first impression stays clean and precise.
The middle and base stages are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
Taken together Li reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
