The LAB12 is located high above Cologne with a breathtaking view of the skyline and the Cologne Cathedral an has a unique idea. A bar like the LAB12 could only be founded in Cologne – the city of fragrances. LAB12’s cocktail concept is inspired by the fine art of perfumers and combines it with the craft of cocktail creation. Cocktails and perfume are both cultivations of alcohol and conserve various ingredients, flavours and scents. Just like a perfumer balancing the varierty of scents in his perfume the barkeeper has to balance his ingredients to find the right taste for his cocktails. Both barkeeper and perfumer are looking for perfect combinations of flavour, scents and alcohol to create something truly special. Cocktails and perfumes can both prompt emotion, trigger old memories and can be responsible for individual and mutual feelings of nostalgia.
