What does Genny (1987) (Parfum de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, aldehydes, coriander, orange blossom and green notes, bright and green. The heart builds a floral body of jasmine, iris, rose, geranium and lily of the valley. In the base, musk, vetiver, moss and civet come forward, settling into a woody, earthy, animal tone.

Longevity and sillage are rated very strong, though few votes back this. Its dense, classic chypre character reads as a women's fragrance.
