gs02

A lovely boozy leather based fragrance. Begins on a very fresh boozy burst with notes of Campari, absinth, angelica, thyme and orange. As it begins to settle the leathery heart is revealed. Finally on complete drydown, a powdery base of ambergris, vanilla and tonka bean is revealed. Contemporary and fresh, this is one of most easily wearable leather based perfumes I own. The skillful blending mastery of Geza Schoen are on full display here as he creates this immensely and very easily wearable leather perfume - one that is unisex, can easily be worn in any setting safely, with moderate and pleasing projection, sillage and longevity. Not for leather purists but those who enjoy a slightly offbeat but discrete musky animalic vibe in their perfumes. Very nice. Enjoy!

The beginning is sharp but later on it discloses as another heaven from biehl.p.w. Again I’m completely in love with masterpiece of company that I’m really impressed on. In my collection I possess over 350 fragrances but biehl.p.w. has special position, especially eo02 and gs02. The latter remains me very sophisticated and extremely deep nature of natural environment – may be forest close to the ocean cost. The leather and amber has wild character while agelica, wormwood and caraway give the blast of natural spiciness. This masterpiece is perfect choice for scents lover who likes to analyze fragrance construction. Really worth to try and the price is reasonable for such wonderful fragrance.

This isn't bitter on me at all-very smooth and warm scent.It's funny because usually I amp wormwood like crazy but I can hardly detect it here.Definitely unisex...I especially love the tonka in this .I get the herbal notes but they aren't sharp at all-this is a very 'rounded' (and to be honest), quite cozy scent.I feel almost like I am reviewing something different than everyone else.I wish I could afford a whole bottle of this..my sample is going to get a lot of use come Fall.

This is a beautiful masculine fragrance from the Biehl line. The opening of gs02 is my favourite - a blast of green aromatic and Campari/blood orange. As it dries down a comfortable, not overpowering, leather note comes in and joins the green that is quite bitter. A very natural and pleasant fragrance for those who love dark green.

Reminds me of Egoiste, which is a fine reminder I have to say. Though the GS02 makes a more reserved impression, it's a bit cooler, more held back so to speak. Sadly it smells a lot better on paper than on my partner's skin. On my own (womanly) skin I would not consider putting this at all.

Many thanks to the Fragrantician who sent me a sample of this lovely, interesting Geza Schoen creation! GS02 opens herbal, fresh, and bitter. I get the Campari slightly more than the wormwood/absinthe note, and it pervades for longer into the composition than the latter. After about 15 minutes the wormwood fades, but the Campari remains with a slight sweetness as a dark, dirty leather emerges. It stays soft, softer than I’d like, especially as the Campari slips away and is replaced by a thyme note that dominates the composition. The leather is still there, along with the barest touch of animal stank (not unpleasant) that I can only assume is castoreum, but it’s all buried under all that thyme and must be hunted for. After three hours, the scent has mostly faded, but the leather is still there with the slightest hints of coumarin and cozy amber. Lasts about 7 hours altogether. GS02 is different, unique, but still extremely wearable (and definitely unisex). I only wish it wasn't so soft!

This is a type of scent that you don't really see released nowadays anymore, musty tenacious and masculine, but also sweet and leathery. I understand the Campari attempt, while not picture perfect it does capture that herbal bitter element (thyme) contrasting the sweetness typical to Campari with a bunch of leathery musky goodness in the base. The main player here is however the castoreum recreation, musty, funky, and potent, decisively retro, and a definite statement nowadays compared to general fragrance trends, however it is also radiant and fresh in a modern minimalist kind of way, so it is definitely wearable imo. I also get a bit of an ambergris vibe in the dry down. Whether you like this scent will vary greatly from person to person. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy any of the things listed above. Definitely one of the most interesting scents I have sampled this year.

Modern. Very modern. Maybe even too much. Absynth, aromachemicals and animalic notes masterfully blended to create an unquestionably modern and minimalistic fragrance. I've mixed feeling on GS02 as while mantaining an aseptic vibe throughout it also shows some animalic juxtapositions for an overall effect I can just describe as bizarre. Surely not an easy fragrance. Unconventional and unique but it leaves me somehow unsatisfied. If fragrances were related with music, then GS02 could have definitely been minimal electronic or IDM.. Rating: 6.5/10

Very grassy fragrance! Bunch of different grasses, to be exact. Some vermouth-bitter at the beginning, they become gradually softer and warmer. The grasses remain then balsamic-warm with a slight remainder of bitterness. It’s almost soft leather. A refined fragrance. One can wear it during the whole year but I’d prefer autumn.

On me it's a nice woody herbal absinth, with hints of everything mentioned in the pyramid, with time it turns into a cognac ;o) Very interesting ;o)

As soon as I opened up the vial I thought I smelled the burned plastic note that I hate and now know is Firmenich’s Teak. To try or not to try? That was the question. I tried it. This is definitely not a sweet scent. I thought maybe it was possible that the caraway listed in the notes was what I smelled, but a comparison with caraway EO confirmed that it was not. Caraway is much more aromatic, like rye bread. As far as I can tell, it’s the dreaded teak. Lord only knows what went into the “amber”. Fortunately there are other things that temper the teak note so that it’s not as bad as it is in some other perfumes, but there’s enough of it to make this slightly aversive to me. Overall it’s a bitter, dry scent that up close has a dusty smell like ground spices that have been sitting around for years until they’ve lost most of their odor. The saving grace is that there’s a little leathery softness along with the spices that have passed their expiration date (I can’t call them “old spice”, because that would have other associations). After a while, I actually started to enjoy this scent for its no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners bitter character. It reminds me of hiking and rubbing various sorts of leaves from herbal-looking plants on my hands to see what they smell like, or gardening and pulling weeds, especially tansy mugwort, which is one of the 10 plagues of the Pacific Northwest. That’s the wormwood (Artemesia) note coming through! At this point it seemed like gs02 could work well as a palate-clearing scent after wearing too many sweet and/or floral perfumes, or might be good for layering with other things. However, in the end the teak note was prominent again, so I don’t thing this one will make it into my “wearable” collection. Too bad, because I liked the herbal aspects of the scent.

I definitely smell artemisia in gs02, but it's the tamest artemisia around, that's for sure. This is a sweet, floral, highly-blended composition. I sense some neroli, and perhaps a tickle of muguet in the early drydown. It's not clear to me yet if the "roundness" of this line's finer blends is a trademark style of biehl, or just of Mr. Schoen. In any case, I do smell some angelica, there's a dry, slightly bitter leathery aspect, and then a sweet campari note, as acknowledged by Fragrantica in the pyramid above. Anyone familiar with campari's crisp flavor is familiar with the sort of freshness it imparts on a hot day, perhaps in the south of France or somewhere in Italy. Eventually a clean, smooth amber sets in, and gs02 becomes quite a friendly little number. This is a nice fragrance, but "nice" is really all I can say about it. It's not groundbreaking, exciting, or particularly memorable. If you want something safe, fresh, made of good materials, and with very good balance, gs02 is something to try.

i guess the campari plays the leading rule in here as it hits with the bitter essence combined with Castoreum hand in hand. the leather, tonka bean, & amber are mixed up with worm water and splattered on for few seconds then stays at the back. quite weird to be explained perfectly but it's ok.
