Geranium Bourbon from Miller Harris Perfumes is what I imagine Jo from Little Women smells like; it's willful and smart, and it's somehow both no-nonsense and very creative. It's got a very upfront "take me as I am vibe" which seems appropriate, as even though geranium is listed in the notes and it's the name of the perfume, it doesn't exactly smell like geranium...so you've got to judge it on its own merits... for what it is, rather than what it is not. And as for what it is, well. It's a sort of dry, sunny lemon grassy palmarosa, a sour green rose, bitter, musty black pepper, and some sort of aromatic woods. It's classified as a floral, but it's certainly not your typical offering from this category of scent; it's not at all sweet or spring or even summery, and the rose is a strange one. I guess I might say this is an herbal, woody autumn floral, and much like our girl Jo, one of a kind.
This starts with a citral note that smells like geranium leaf, my favorite part. On my skin, it turns into a soapy floral. On clothes, I get more of the floral and less of the soap. The soap keeps it out of insect repellent territory, which I really don't mind anyway as a lover of all things lemongrass. After a few hours, it's still on skin as a dirt musk, which is probably the patchouli but unrecognizable, also good since I don't love patchouli. An interesting, green, earthy take on geranium, but not too green, earthy or floral. Well balanced and intriguing.
