Geranium Balsamic Note

Geranium Balsamic Note by the Polish house Bohoboco (2016) is described by everyone who rates it as both woody and ambered, with about half also finding it gourmand, green and floral. The name gives the two poles: a sharp green geranium and a soft, resinous balsam.

Geranium leads with its rosy, slightly minty, leafy sharpness. Juniper berries add a dry, gin-like freshness and bay leaf a warm, aromatic, lightly spiced greenness. Fig tree brings a green, milky, slightly woody note that bridges the opening and the base. Egyptian balsam and resins give the ambered side, a sweet, warm, slightly vanillic resin, and cedar and vetiver finish with dry wood and an earthy, rooty depth.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. Green geranium and juniper make the opening fresh enough for daytime, while the balsamic base gives it warmth for cooler weather. It should appeal to people who like aromatic green scents that settle into something soft and resinous rather than staying sharp.
