At some point, the violet will bloom
Oh dear, once again tested blind, it's already late and: No comment. And then to such an interesting yet quite conventional scent.
Biehl "mb02" is neither experimental nor a concept or thematic fragrance. It is, like apparently all Biehl fragrances, a sober-modern perfume that you can't go wrong with.
Biehl fragrances are not perfumes that I could say one shouldn't wear. They are rather arbitrary. The synthetic aspect is as it is today with many fragrances as part of the scent concept. They are also not scents that would draw negative attention.
"mb02" starts off very sour. I think of rhubarb and sour lemon. Then "mb02" develops a strong freshness and green note on top of that. A slightly aquatic note and a mild sharp bitterness waft up. Occasionally, I catch whiffs of spicy hints. Everything seems to be consciously moderately synthetically composed.
I thought at the start that "mb02" is a cologne scent, but within a short time, creamy and sweet notes appear. Now "mb02" is a sour-green-creamy and compact fragrance. For a cologne, "mb02" is far too creamy.
As it progresses, the sour-biting note fades and "mb02" increasingly smells of fresh green, like freshly mown grass. Nevertheless, "mb02" is never sweet; I don't smell any Ambroxan, but plenty of coumarin with sandalwood and musk. This is quite pleasant.
"mb02" remains a cool, almost cold scent. And that despite the creaminess.
Somehow, "mb02" strikes me as a contradictory fragrance.
Then, as a little surprise, a violet note develops after a while. However, this violet note is very delicate, like the small real violets in spring scenting amidst their green leaves, lovely yet not sweet, nor reminiscent of licorice, as is the case with some fragrances.
So "mb02" remains for me. Given how stable the sillage still is after almost 4 hours, I assume it has quite good longevity.
"mb02" is an androgynous fragrance, that is my conclusion. By that, I mean the aura, the signals that the wearers send out with this scent.
The classification as unisex means to me that it is wearable for both women and men. I agree with that.
"mb02" is a neutral fragrance for many occasions, with which one cannot go wrong in terms of scent, not even for oneself.

Nice violet scent, quickly becomes too floral, balsamic element in the base complements the fragrance and suits it well.

In the balm. Pine forest in the clearing, a blue sea of violets. Gentle powder falls from the sky. Creamed hands build a wood-clay hut.*

Once you get past the bitter opening, there are violet leaves, fine powdery notes, and a balsamic-creamy base. Wear it, don’t buy it.

I just don't have a contract with Biehl because they are so indecisive: a bit of green, creamy, violet, powdery - everything is subtle.

The most beautiful Biehl I've tested so far. Just slightly floral, but beautifully oriental in the dry down. At first, it smells a bit like cinnamon.

Sharp, very green + sour citrus scent, cologney, slightly bitter. Taken over from a lovely-creamy base, always green + compact. Interesting.

The Biehlers are all somehow good. But so far, none have blown me away. Maybe this is the one I need to have?

Initially an old-fashioned floral women's scent, it soon transforms into a dry floral-powdery unisex fragrance. Reminds me of Terre d'Iris. Beautiful.
