How can this be...?
Except for the very well-known Tom Ford - which is partly due to the fact that there are a lot of fragrances on the market under his name - I have hardly ever come into contact with any other person from the fashion industry who is known from the land of the so-called "scents". of so-called "unlimited possibilities". And so it was with Geoffrey Beene, because this name also didn't mean anything to me until recently...
Born in the mid-1920s in the southeastern USA (Louisiana), he was the child of a family consisting mainly of medical doctors and was therefore "destined" to pursue the same academic career that he already knew from his family. So he first went to university, enrolled in medicine and tried for three years to fight his way through the turmoil and hurdles of his studies.
However, he stated that he was not ardent about this industry. Therefore he decided to turn to his real passion, namely fashion and lifestyle. So he took up a new course of studies and began to study fashion design
At some point in his career he founded his own company, George Beene Inc. As with many fashion designers, fragrances were soon released under his name, although not too many.
[...]
I came across this scent recently here on Parfumo. Its bottle design and light green content quickly caught my attention. As soon as I read descriptions like "green", "fresh", or "mossy", I'm always alert. And when they're mentioned in the same breath, it's even more so. This is also the case with this one, which has this beautiful name: Bowling Green.
It has an enchantingly pretty, fresh-citric prelude, in which I notice minimal spicy nuances in the background. This rather intense lemon is quickly joined by a herbaceous and tart lavender note. And after a while, the intense citrus start recedes and makes way for a green impact, mainly consisting of moss. This is intensified by the fir and cedar notes, so that it comes across as dry, tart and earthy towards the base.
Even though it can be worn all year round, I think it is probably best in spring and on not too hot summer days. He is - as I think - a very pleasant, easy to like youngster with a green base, which can be used for any occasion.
The durability is with about 5-6h on my skin very satisfying for me personally. In the first 2h it leaves a larger scent cloud behind before it withdraws gently and gentlemanlike.
The glass flacon looks similar in shape to the BossBottled bottles, is transparent and has a similar cap. I find the packaging very unique.
The fragrance comes in a light brown, elongated and grooved cardboard box and has mMn something very retro that I like.
Of course I ordered it blind, because what can you do wrong with crazy 9€ for 120ml? But that doesn't mean anything anyway, because if you order a Creed fragrance without testing, as I did, then what I write about it is nonsense, isn't it?
Conclusion:
Again and again I ask myself how it can be that some fragrances are virtually sold off for so little money. There will be reasons, but for me it is incomprehensible, because they do not "earn" it at all.
Of course I too prefer to pay less than too much, but I would buy this one or many of the other cheap fragrances if they were offered for much more money.
I just think Bowling Green is very pretty. A really great classic and refreshingly clean scent that comes without any synthetics and smells very natural, pure and clear.
So if you are into aromatic-citric newcomers with green components, the Bowling Green is the perfect choice.
