...one of my summer sweethearts...
Besides Clean Reserve-Citron Fig, the No. 2 fragrance I like to wear in summer. I admit that on very hot days, like this summer, I don't like to wear perfume. With this fragrance, however, it is different. Yes, I'll even go one step further. You could even wear it all year round.
How shall I put it now??? What do I love about the scents of Geza Schön? Or their molecular series?
Is it precisely this simplicity, this not complicated, this not so complex?
So can you take "ingenious simplicity" as a guarantor for it or does it devalue him?
NO, I don't think so.
I think perfumers with headaches are often sitting in the corner and pondering, what the hell else can they UNPACK with it..... does it always have to be?
Also a clear NO (and this does not mean that it is easy to create this kind of fragrances).
Sometimes things come out so absurd I grab my head.
Fragrances that smell of rust or blood.
Honestly, I think that's perverse.
And if you even sell something like that as "art", I literally get my gall up.
I also have a basic problem with the word "art".
If I've always heard that.
They're all artists.
The actor, the painter or draughtsman, the musician, the perfumer.
To me, an actor is an actor, a painter or draughtsman, a musician a musician and a perfumer a perfumer. I'm not an artist in my job. That someone can be talented in one or more things is true, but he is not an artist to me.
On the other hand, I have to say that I really like this fragrance.
It starts on my skin with pink pepper and joins grapefruit quite quickly, if not at lightning speed. Always with the light mist of javanol.
Thank you again, Mr. Schön!
