Geste by Humiecki & Graef can be found at Lucky Scent $220 for 100 ml or $4 for .7 ml.
Notes: soft amber, musk, soft violet petals, soft fir resin
This fragrance is interestingly different.
I particularly liked this quotation in the description of it:
Geste is about the intensity of quiet things. Lucky Scent
We don't often think of quiet things as having an intensity, but sometimes their intensity is stronger in a sense than something that is overtly intense and loud. Think of a quiet, sleeping baby. There is an intensity felt when looking at that child sleeping. We are drawn into it.
Likewise, this fragrance is subtly present, even though its individual parts are soft and quiet. For example, some ambers are so strong and potent, that they overtake everything in their wake. This amber is soft and simply present.
The fragrance morphs rather quickly from a soft, blended fragrance into its individual notes being distinguishable. First, the violet comes to the fore, a bit powdery. It is never a strictly sweet floral, however, the way BBW Violet Bouquet is only violet. Very quickly a bit of the amber comes dancing across, along with the musk. Under it all is the resiny nature of the soft fir.
My take:
I am only dabbing. It's hard to know how strong it would be if spritzed. As I've said before, I'm not really a wearer of floral perfumes. I tend more toward Orientals or woody/incense. Overall, this feels sweet to me. I'm enjoying the sample, but I don't know if I would want a full bottle. I would certainly consider it, if I didn't already have other fragrances that are in this family.
Do you wear this one?
Have you tried this one? Do you like it?
