Even away from the soccer field, professionals come up with something from time to time. A duo from Berlin now wants to provide good smell.

With Hertha BSC, Marten Winkler and Linus Gechter missed the promotion to the Bundesliga. In the new season, however, a new attempt is to be started. Before that, however, the two came up with a business idea: the Hertha duo launched its own perfume.

At the performance in Berlin, several fans and interested buyers gathered to secure the fragrance with the name “Red Dessert”. Linus Gechter in the “BZ”: “The base is, among other things, soft sandalwood and vanilla, in the heart note Tonka, Karamell, cinnamon and in the top note is cherry and marshmallow and orange blossom.”

Both he and teammates Winkler are large perfume fans. Now they wanted to try to create something special, a “10 von10 fragrance”, as Gechter said. There are already other fragrances in planning.

Sporters should be put on the pitch after the summer break, so that the promotion to the first division will also work.
