The Breath of a Mountain Lake
When I think of "Borealis | Buchoed," I am immediately at Badersee in Grainau. It is winter, and all the trees surrounding the lake are dusted with white. The lake is not frozen because the underground springs keep it cool and open all year round. The water is so crystal clear that it glows greenish-blue, reflecting the Zugspitze and Alpspitze.
No wonder Ludwig II loved this place. To this day, there is a rumor that he sank the mermaid lying on a rock at the bottom of Badersee. You can even see her from the shore, so clear is the water.

And above it all lies this alpine green air. Fresh, clear, and herbaceous. And that is exactly what Borealis conveys for me. The opening is impressively fresh. A powerful bergamot mixed with herbaceous green accents. I attribute this to galbanum, neroli, rosemary, and geranium. Over time, Borealis transforms into a warm and woody green base. Sandalwood, vetiver, and resins emerge, making it suitable for everyday wear without losing its natural and forest origins.

Then there is the name Borealis. And that brings me to my favorite jazz artist, Jaimie Branch. She was a magnificent trumpeter, known for her experimental blend of jazz and free form with slight punk attitudes. Here, there is the song "Borealis Dancing." Borealis and the music evoke light playing among fir trees, fresh air, movement, and clarity. Thus, for me, it is often not just a fragrance but also a (fragrance) experience that is anchored in special moments and engages all the senses.

I particularly like that Borealis is a natural fragrance from Bavaria that consistently relies on 100% natural ingredients. Buchoed was founded by four friends from the Bavarian Forest, who were able to bring their knowledge from agriculture, biology, and raw material extraction, authentically and honestly conveying the theme of nature.

A True Experience!
Inverse sauna session… You start in icy cold water, shivering you run through green coniferous forest, you can already smell the infusion from afar… citrusy and herbal… and then you also smell the cabin, warm and woody, sweet and balsamic. You feel directly transported into this scene. The scent also changes very strongly, which not everyone may like, but it is an exciting experience if you allow yourself to embrace it. More of a journey than a perfume!

Maximal Green Meets Warm Wood!
First comes an extremely green galbanum punch that you have to like. If you like it… genius! If you don’t, it is quickly replaced by a citrus-woody freshness that almost makes you feel cold. This freshness lasts surprisingly long. After that, the scent transitions into a cozy warm and woody finish. The longevity is limited, and the progression is clear and very exciting! Not a bore!

Natural scents made in Bavaria.
It's a grand forest spectacle here.
Great interplay between vetiver, neroli, and rosemary.

Forest bathing in summer. That's how it feels in the coniferous forest, far from the paths. Fresh and unbelievably beautiful.

Fresh, green, natural, sporty. Smells like running in the woods.

Galbanum is quite dominant. Slightly smoky vibe. A bit uneven and - sorry - reminds me of a DIY project. Still has something!

Spa-Sauna. A very nice start, the natural ingredients here do NOT remind me of ashtrays with Galbanum. Unfortunately fleeting.

Truly a woody scent, but not a northern forest. I miss the freshness (lightness). Still a good fragrance, with herbal depth.
