eo02 - or a Journey from the Occident to the Orient

After the already more than good experiences and the enjoyment of mb03, I was also positively struck by the next cryptic-strange title from Biehl - eo02.
Whoever came up with this minimalist and starkly sober naming is either simply genius or simply unimaginative. I still haven't formed a firm opinion on this question... well then.
Aside from the name, eo02 is an excellent fragrance. Excellently composed and simply excellently pleasant to smell - which is, after all, the plain and simple sense and purpose of a perfume.
eo02 is complex and spans a wide fragrance arc of seemingly incompatible olfactory impressions, yet remains elegantly unobtrusive and is never even remotely loud.
Very elaborate and very gentleman-like... the opening is furious yet restrained: fresh citrusy-fruity, green-herb spicy, floral-woody - somehow all blending together simultaneously - deep and intense undertones without any hint of heaviness. How does that come together?
In other words: West meets East, Occident meets Orient, Ying meets Yang, man meets woman - and all of this in one fragrance... Egon Oelkers makes it possible.

To me, it's like a Bauhaus fragrance. Timelessly beautiful, elegant, and without any fuss.

The work titles are quite simple: first the perfumer (here Egon Oelkers, hence eo) and then their oeuvre is just numbered...
