From the "steometric development of a cube in space"......
.....or: spatial geometry for the nose.

An oloid is a geometric solid with two edges but no vertices. It is one of the few known solids that roll over its entire surface.

Now the question surely arises for the scent-savvy reader: who cares about that...

And I have to admit: Probably no one.

Except (you guessed it): my very special "friend" Geza Schön *grins*.

II.2.a. Oloid Perfume is "Geza" at its purest......synthetic, sterile and aloof.....

One of the advertising slogans reads, "Not just a fragrance. A transmitter. Carries your innermost to the outside world."

Whatever this "innermost" may be, it does not seem "human". It could possibly be the "innermost" of an extraterrestrial life form.....a cyborg possibly.......something that does not communicate via a "soul" but uses binary codes to communicate....

Advertising slogan number 2 would also fit this: "Within me is infinity, my heart beats a thousand waves".

Thinking in the context of
II.2.a. Oloid of "infinity," I do not think of the immeasurable human soul, but of cold, empty space ........when I think of "a thousand waves," I do not think of the gentle waves of an azure sea, but rather of microwaves or some toxic cosmic radiation....

But now to the fragrance:

This is based on the scent of the associated soap II.3.a (which, by the way, has the shape of an oloid).

According to the manufacturer, this composition is a "subtle, clear woodruff note" that smells "cool and clean". The impression "cool and clean" I can absolutely confirm.....der woodruff, however, I do not really want to open......vielleicht but I just have no idea of "woodruff" :-D.....

What I perceive - and almost exclusively - is a bombastic citrus with a hint of musk.....similar to the "Sidolin strip free - lemon".......this does not change, by the way, in the further course.....it only becomes weaker, and thus more pleasant.....

There is really nothing more to say about II.2.a Oloid.

If you like cold, clinical-sterile, super clean scents, you might like this one.

Il two point aoloid or sideways past time
I would love to tell a wonderfully imaginative and embellished story about this fragrance. But either he just does not give it or I'm not in a position to do so or both, but somehow I'm surprised that to this perfume here is not a line to read and I find him just incredibly exciting and that he deserves to be discovered.

I would imagine it is quite polarizing, at least it is in my perception and I keep having to smell my wrist and wonder what is going on.

This morning the fragrance arrived in a sample exchange letter (Merci dear Moritz at this point).

A euphony is the name not exactly, actually I do not think that anyone knows how to pronounce it and I try to imagine how I would be asked what are you wearing today for a fragrance and I then say "This is Ilzweipunktaoloid" or something like that. Then you might wonder if I've cracked a joke for smelling a bit like soap and laundry room and cleaned up.
But the next moment I smell then namely no longer so, but - yes actually like, that's what I want to namely, I just do not know what I smell there.
Freshly sprayed on I smell for a few seconds indefinable iso-synthetic, then it suddenly becomes very citrusy, but not hesperidisch but detergent citrus and that's then really unpleasant. But now not bad enough that I want to scrub it away, because it's not loud or intrusive, just really weird.
Then I think the scent smells a bit like a laundry room now, soapy and lye-y, but not really old-fashioned.
But it changes some more and now there's a familiarity that I just can't put my finger on, it reminds me of something past though it doesn't smell nostalgic.
I kind of like it, but it also freaks me out that I just can't grab the scent and don't know what association is floating around in my brain and hiding from me.
This is similarly unsatisfactory as when you search the name of this one actress from this one film and you just do not get it and it tweaks until you just ask Google. But stupidly I can not ask Google about it, so I hang with the nose constantly on it and brood.
Fortunately, the scent has now become extraordinarily pleasant and I hope I still come up with something.

Geza Schön is known for his synthetic creations and I personally have nothing against Iso-E and Ambroxan, but find this kind of fragrances often boring, perhaps because in a big city like Hamburg really many people smell like that. When I read Hedion (the first time I've ever read that today), Iso-E Super and Musk, I spontaneously think that it must just smell like young, urban city people, but somehow this fragrance is out of the ordinary. He is thoroughly unisex and I can assign him no day, year, or other time, but I have since this whole pandemic anyway no sense of time and move felt rather so sideways past the time, if that makes any sense.

Titles and conclusions I always find the most difficult and maybe that's why I usually prefer to write a short, snappy statement, but now I've written a bit for the sake of the fragrance but what, I think he can what.
I just do not know what.
