104 Gelso
Designed for wearers who prefer realistic garden botanicals over commercial fruity florals, LabSolue 104 Gelso offers a leafy, unvarnished berry profile. The fragrance pairs bruised mulberry foliage and dark mulberry fruit with peppery fresh basil, creating a unisex aroma suited for casual daytime wear, weekend brunches, and warm outdoor gatherings. Rather than leaning heavily on synthetic sugar, its dry-down highlights gritty blackberry seeds and quiet floral notes. This makes it a clean pick for spring daytime office settings or balmy summer evenings when heavy amber perfumes feel stifling. Wearers who enjoy herbal berry compositions will appreciate its refreshing, slightly bitter trail on warm skin.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“LabSolue 104 Gelso Editorial Review: Tart Mulberry Meets Basil”
LabSolue 104 Gelso opens with an immediate, vivid burst of crushed black mulberry fruit and snappy green basil. Perfumer Sophie Labbé avoids synthetic berry syrup completely, choosing instead a sharp botanical clarity that feels like walking through a damp Italian orchard right after morning rain. The herbal top note cuts straight through the rich fruit sweetness, giving the initial spray a peppery, green spark that immediately sets it apart from designer gourmands.
As the initial flash of fresh basil settles after twenty minutes, the heart reveals crunchy blackberry seeds and subtle mulberry blossoms. The floral aspect stays intentionally quiet, serving as a soft frame for the dark berry pulp rather than taking center stage. The texture shifts from bright and juicy to dry and slightly woody, anchored by the rustic feel of pressed seeds.
On skin, the accord transition feels remarkably fluid over time. The tart fruity top gradually softens into an aromatic, fresh spicy aura that hugs the arms closely. The green notes linger much longer than typical citrus top notes, balancing the dark juice of the mulberry so the overall composition never feels heavy or cloying, even under warm midday sunshine.
Performance leans moderate across all standard metrics. Expect roughly four to six hours of total longevity on clean skin, with sillage projecting about arm's length for the first ninety minutes before settling into an intimate scent bubble. It performs at its absolute best on warm spring mornings and humid summer afternoons, where body heat helps the leafy aromatic facets project without turning harsh.
This fragrance suits wearers who actively seek out realistic botanical scents with a unrefined garden edge. It sits comfortably in unisex territory, pairing just as naturally with a crisp linen shirt as with relaxed weekend wear. Enthusiasts who enjoy green berry notes will appreciate its understated nature, though shoppers expecting a loud, sugary candied fruit profile may find it too herbal.
Ultimately, LabSolue 104 Gelso offers a refined, leafy take on mulberry that prioritizes natural balance over artificial volume. Trying a sample first is wise if you prefer heavy projector fragrances that fill a room. For anyone looking for a distinctive, refreshing daytime signature for the warmer months of the year, it remains a rewarding bottle to explore.
