Geste

Geste by Humiecki & Graef. Yes, this is one of the best "white smelling" scents I've ever come across. A celestial violet amidst the most authentic clean laundry smell - one that manages to forego the chemical smell of most 'clean laundry accords' but instead captures the softness and warmth of clothing pulled fresh from the dryer. There is a resinous hint, too, that persists and offers a crisp counterpoint. Not quite the smell of starch - more like spa salts. Another amazing thing about Geste is how well it blends into one's skin. It is one of those perfumes where it does not feel like you are wearing a scent but rather gives the impression that this is how your skin naturally smells. While I feel that Cologne Pour Le Matin, Bulgari Man, and Sartorial are great white shirt scents, none of them seem to become one with the wearer as does Geste, and I think that reason alone would warrant its inclusion in one's wardrobe alongside any of the aforementioned. Geste. Simple and beautiful minimalism.

On a quest for a new amber scent in my perfume wardrobe I recently selected three scents as my favourite ambers. Geste by Humiecki & Graef is my number two on this list. Today I am trying Geste for the second time. I totally agree with the review below by SculptureOfSoul, it's simple and beautiful. Allthough it is a modern, light ambery smell it is not watery at all. Contents are violets, Iris, amber and musk. It is very subtle, clean, and oriental. One thing I am not sure about, considering the price of this perfume, is the sillage.

I tested this perfume 24 hours ago and I can still smell it on my skin. I read about it in a thread about clean laundry smells but this is so much more than that. This is reminiscent of Prada Infusion d'Iris, but deeper, with an aromatic-resinous base that makes it stand out and gives it longevity. It is simultaneously clean and warm. Refined, quietly sensual and discreetly present. It is marketed as a feminine scent but could be gorgeous on a man.

One of the best niches I have ever come across, so simple yet so beautiful. Main note is violet but not a candied violet a soft one warmed up by the amber. The musk gives it an intimate, cosy final touch.Beautiful.

Very interesting smell.It smells differently in the different countries on my skin.Its reminding of Pine Cone and whiskey first hour but then blends in smth sweet worm and spicy. Specially made for winter i think!
