Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Humięcki & Graef Eau Radieuse is a fresh, citrusy and green scent with aquatic and fruity touches, giving a cool, light impression that suits everyday wear.

Askew

7.4

Humięcki & Graef · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Humięcki & Graef Askew is a fragrance for men that sets the brightness of grapefruit and ginger against the smoky, leathery edge of birch tar and leather. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence: grapefruit and ginger give a fresh citrus lift, cardamom adds spice, and vetiver lays down a green, woody footing. Birch tar and leather leave a smoky, resinous shadow, while mimosa softens that hardness a little. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and summer, and it is chosen most for leisure and business wear. Most voters find it masculine. Uncut Gem and Super 8 have a close profile.

Lovage and Roman chamomile give it a green, floral, herbal freshness. Absinth and barley keep that side dry and slightly spicy. Frankincense and myrrh add a resinous, smoky depth, and musk softens them with an animal warmth. The overall feel is woody and earthy, with a bright synthetic edge.
