Bosque
This fragrance opens with an accord of floral and herbal notes I cannot describe but as well-balanced, smooth and clean. Fleeting touches of citrus emphasise this impression of cleanliness. The scent is built around a milky saffron note which I link to Secretions Magnifiques, although Bosque is of course much more pleasant to wear. As the fragrance progresses the notes create an accord reminiscent of warm, sweaty human skin. To me this is the scent of a sunbather's skin, I see coconut sunscreen and salty sweet perspiration. The ads for this Humiecki&Graef offering, however, imply this is supposed to be the scent of something altogether different: post-orgasmic bliss. Just like a climax, this scent is ephemeral: after three hours the fragrance is almost completely gone, all there remains is a pale milky shadow of vetiver.

Excellence Bottled!
Very subdued fragrance which lays close to the skin. The initial opening is wonderful with an almost creamy citrus smell reminiscent is a good quality summer body lotion, this stays pretty much throughout the development of the fragrance however after a while a slightly more floral note comes in which I assume is the primrose in the composition. Overall a great spring/summer scent which although is pretty skin close does last a good 4/5 hours or so. Slightly on the pricey side so would recommend testing before spending the bucks!

Lovely unisex musk
I am NOT a fan of musk. It is a note that can ruin a fragrance for me, like Burberry Weekend and Cacharel’s Noa. They both make me feel sweaty and unclean. But sometimes I am lucky and the scent contains just the right amount of the note. As it is the case with Bosque.
What a lovely scent! So well composed and delicate. The narcissus, the musk and the saffron work so well together. This is now on my top ten unisex scents.
I will rate the sillage of this as poor to avarage. This is a descreet and intimate scent, and you can wear it for work, at the cinema and all public places. No one can be offended by this wonderful, soft fragrance. But the longevity: wauw! It just keeps sending out these lovely notes.
The fact that this is a unisex scent makes so much sense. This is an everybody’s fragrance.
The bottle goes well with the smell. Minimalistic expression and douce colour.
In an irrational moment I would probably buy this fragrance, eventhough I have enough perfumes already to last at least three lifetimes - but that is how good this one is. The price on this, however, will keep me from doing it.

I want to be a citizen of the world, at home everywhere and on the go everywhere.*
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Ergoproxy once again for providing this sample. It was a bull's-eye.

When you browse the Humiecki & Graef website for Bosque, you are shown images of two people. Neither particularly beautiful, but neither are they in any way ugly. And both are, apart from the most charming spots (here white bed linen is prominently displayed), completely naked, just as God (here in the form of the photographer) created them.

But Bosque does not smell like beautiful, fresh, flower-pure bed linen. In this lovely blend, there is a little more hidden:
You have spent the whole day at the beach. Of course, you have diligently applied sunscreen. At some point, however, in the late afternoon, it gets too hot in the sun, so you retreat with your lounge chair under the sunshade, skeptically checking your still barely existent tan and looking a bit longingly out at the sea. You hear the waves crashing, you smell the subtle salty note in the breeze that the sea carries with it. Finally, you sit up on your lounge chair, burying your toes a little in the fine sand. A few pages of the book you brought along are still read, but rather half-heartedly. Soon enough, it’s enough, and you head back to the room. Undouched, a little sandy, sweaty, and flattened from sweet idleness, you throw yourself onto the bed, channel surf a bit, and finally doze off, just for half an hour. Maybe a whole one.

Eventually, you give in to the necessity of showering, using After Sun, heading to the buffet, and finally diving into the nightlife.

Suddenly, the next morning, very fine and fleeting, as elusive as the kitten at the bowl of cream, you suddenly find the scent of Bosque. Only when the sun manages to tickle you awake, when the anticipation of freshly squeezed orange juice, sweet pineapple, and juicy watermelon for breakfast lures you out of bed much earlier than usual, does it reveal itself. Then the scent of still fresh, white, starched bed linen, the sea air, the remnants of sunscreen and sweat that you brought with you from dozing the day before, and the fleeting traces of last night’s perfume unite into this sweet, soft, creamy mélange that has been captured in this fragrance.

It is exceptionally beautiful, but exciting? Erotic? No. Unless, of course, you suddenly discover a not yet familiar face in the tangle of sheets next to you. Oh yes... last night at the beach bar, the blond surfer boy/the yoga instructor with long black hair had suddenly asked what kind of outrageously beautiful scent you were wearing. Oh, breakfast can wait a moment longer...

What Was and What Will Be
I am lying stretched out on my back. In the middle of our living room. The wooden floorboards feel hard beneath me. The sun is blinking through the window, and the distant sound of machines and people drifts in. Otherwise, there is silence. Around me and within me. I sniff at my wrist and close my eyes...

France many years ago. I was alone on the beach, somewhere, I no longer remember where. I walked for hours, barefoot through the sand. The sea beside me. I stopped at a place where a pier led into the water. Nothing else. Just this pier. I walked up and to the end, sat down, letting my feet dangle. Before me, the vast sea, behind me, the land, above me, clouds, hot sun. It smells of tranquility, peace, thoughts, just me. I sat on the pier for hours, imagining poems, singing thoughts, counting waves. Warm. Water. Me.

I briefly open my eyes because the cat is sniffing at me. She wonders what I am doing on the floor. I pet her briefly and close my eyes again.

Thailand. 2009. We spent the day at the beach, swimming, sunbathing, reading. I lie naked in the bungalow on the bed, my husband is just showering. The room is still warm from a whole day's sunlight, soft music wafts under the door, the water in the shower is splashing. The air smells of sunscreen, of the t-shirt he wore all day, of love.

I blink briefly because a sunbeam tickles my nose, sniff at my wrist once more, and sink back in.

I lie in the dry grass of the African savannah, swatting flies with my tail. I doze in the sun, my fur is hot from the midday heat, my cubs are playing, hopping, and dancing around me. It smells of rugged dryness, untamed wildness, and wilderness.

My left toe has fallen asleep. I move it briefly, adjust myself once more, and travel on.

I am a dandelion, flying through the late hot spring sun. I float through the air, completely weightless, for hours, and eventually land on the belly of a woman lying in her garden, sunbathing. I tickle her skin. A drop of sweat rolls down her belly, carrying her warm-scented sunscreen with it, catches me, and takes me along. I melt into her navel.

I open my eyes, stretch, and get up. The sample vial of Bosque lies on the table. I apply a little more to my wrist and sniff one last time. And once again, images dissolve from my mind, flow through me, and become memories. Sun-warmed memories of what was and what will be.

In the dream, you clearly recognize the desire of musky daffodils.
Cool and fresh are the human-like vetiver meadows.
Idea becomes a breath.*

I still love it. A very quirky green scent. Spicy, reminiscent of a forest master, floral and artificial.

Green-fresh??? I only smell synthetic melon with varnish, plus a nasty indolic/animalic note. This experiment went wrong for me...

Warm vodka poured over sun-kissed skin - strangely synthetic yet natural at the same time. Unmatched and beautiful. Use sparingly!

There’s an almost intense olive note here: bitter, herbal, green, then it becomes powdery and spicier: it’s breaking new ground.

The character reveals itself not in grand deeds; the nature of a person shows in little things. A quiet, sensual declaration of love.
