Powdered violets and a brisk musk that puts one in mind of freshly starched hotel sheets lead off this intriguing, elusive fragrance. Spritz it on and then go about your business, because it takes a few moments for this to come into its own. Geste is about the intensity of quiet things. The violets lose their powdery quality and become clear and sweetly melancholy, nestling into a comfy bed of amber-laced musk. Some musks are clean and some are dirty, and this seems to dance on the edge right between the two -- innocent and seductive by turns. Soft fir resin adds an appealing, distinctly modern edge. The resin has a hint of the therapeutic about it, like bath salts or a spa sauna, and adds a comforting roughness that counters the delicacy of the violets. Those contradictions – dirty and clean, rough and gentle – are what make this fragrance so fascinating. They also explain why this works so well on both men and women. Discreetly risqué, this has the genteel recklessness of an afternoon tryst in a luxury suite. Subtle and unique.
