Borealis Buchoed 2025

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.
