Others have done similar … and better

If I hadn’t worn Calvin Klein Eternity, if I didn't know the Escentric Molecules line, if I didn’t know Iso-E Super as a single note, if I didn’t know neroli as a single note (and love it in Patricia de Nicolai’s Cologne Sologne), if I didn’t find Lalique Encre Noir a more interesting interpretation of this class of modern scents that owe a greater kinship to the chemistry of mimeograph machines than traditional perfume oils, and if I weren’t a woman, then maybe I’d be more attracted to gs03. But since none of these “ifs” apply, I don’t care much for this new product which I suspect will be forgotten in the annals of fragrance history.

The animal in the cologne

GS03 is an interesting little number for sure as it's not your typical summery refreshing cologne. Yes, it is fresh and very herbal (strong juniper), citric (neroli, orange), woody and a bit spicy (pink pepper)... but wait - who's that beast lurking there in the greenery?

The castoreum note in GS03 (which is quite noticeable BTW, among all the salubrious plants) is a brilliant addition and the way it's blended in is the obvious working of a genius.

It gives this otherwise typical fresh masculine a very strange, fabulous, sexy vibe, a darker underbelly and more than a bit of dirty mind. It also turns it into a unisex, because perversion is always both sexual and genderless.

If you enjoyed the castoreum note in Mad Madame by JHAG, and want something equally mad to wear in the summer, give GS03 a try. It's one of the twisted. ;)

Longevity is really good on me (8h+) and the sillage is soft-moderate (I get wafts of it as I move around but it's not noticeable to people who aren't in my proximity).

Pleasant "Beautiful" Scent

I could hardly believe it, suspecting that even after showering, a little bit of "Do Son" EdT would still linger on my wrist. So I applied Biehl "GS 03" a second time in the crook of my arm.
No, it remains just as present on the spot that definitely wasn't scented beforehand as it does on the wrist.
"GS 03" starts with a sharp citrus note, but quickly becomes lightly soapy-floral-slightly spicy even. Unfortunately, I can't ignore that "GS 03" reminds me, even on the second test, of shaving foam and the cologne scent from the hair salon back when I used to go to the barber and this smell wafted over from the men's section of the salon. Although there is also a very slightly fruity component in the floral note.
If that weren't the case, I wouldn't be able to believe at all that "GS 03" is a perfume mixed by Mr. Schön. Alongside the soapy and aldehydic nuances, I also perceive waxy and creamy sandalwood notes after a short time. Now that I read it, I also recognize the intention of pepper, combined with green vetiver.
The citrus note has indeed receded right from the start, but over time it evolves into a cologne note. However, "GS 03" does not develop into a fresh cologne; tonka and similar notes make it too creamy-resinous. I don't smell cedar at all. Likewise, I don't smell any oak moss. I don't detect anything animalistic or oppressive.
I find it difficult to really describe "GS 03," and apparently others do too, which is why there was no comment to read here. I simply can't suppress the fact that I have to admit: I smell in a softened, tamer form a mélange of those old-fashioned perfumes like Tosca, 4711, and many others that smelled similarly back then. Only the fruity osmanthus-like note lets me recognize that it is a newer perfume.
Perhaps Gesa Schön wanted to show that he can also mix quite conventional scents with a little twist of fruitiness in the style of older fragrances. I find "GS 03" wearable and nice, but insignificant and boring.
