Perfume of the Day: Biehl Parfumkunstwerke GS01

The luckyscent description here is dead on this time. Starts out green, blossoms into floral and peachy-fruits. There is a LOT going on here, but it all works well together. I don’t love freesia scents on me, but this is a complex, wearable, hard to pin down scent. Reminds me a bit of the Givenchy “un jardin” scents especially Sur Le Nil. The drydown is very calm and steady-state compared to the vibrant, vibrating opening. Another white floral that I like in theory but just doesn’t work well on my chemistry.
Captivating in its quiet reverie, Geza Schoen’s (Escentric Molecules, Clive Christian) GS 01 is fresh and rich all at the same time. Its wonderfully unusual opening is laced with dewdrop green (we’re still not exactly sure what that means), orange flower, lime, carrot seeds and hints of herbs. It’s all tied together with spectacularly wild riot of fruity floral absolutes…white peach, water lily, davana, freesia…there are so many gems here that our noses were tingling in happiness. Geza put warm essences of cedar, basmati, musk, and moss at the base, giving GS 01 a meditative quality that allows the perfume to soar madly with its fruits, florals and spices yet balance gently with its quieter, earthbound cousins.
