“Captivating clarity. Depth. Exhaling. The power of silence.” (Biehl Parfumkunstwerke website)

The creations by both Mark Buxton and Geza Schoen are the best ones from this house. This is a very pleasant fuity floral scent that possesses a dewy freshness. Unfortunately, this one is just as subtle and translucent as the others.

This smells like a mix of all the things found in designer frags today: spicy florals on top, woody amber base and a fruity musk. A blend of the nicest things. Pretty good.

GS01 is similar to Geza Schoen's Ecentric Molecules Escentric 01 in that they both have a warm woody, cedary base powered by ISO E Super but GS 01 has a more green, herbal side to its personality. It is so well-blended that it is hard to isolate any of the other notes, even having the list available (see below). The drydown is mellow and very pleasant, and lasts a decent amount of time.

In short, GS 01 smells like something that Daniel Craig's James Bond would wear to the Hotel de Paris casino in Monaco for an evening of baccarat and martinis. It is an incredibly understated and stylish masculine fragrance that smells expensive but worth it.

This is a lovely scent, full of peach fruit and richly sweet flowers. It is not unisex, it is a feminine scent; and it would suit a lovely young lady.
