What does Genny (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, aldehydes, coriander and orange blossom alongside green notes, giving a bright, lightly spicy start. Jasmine, iris, rose, geranium and lily of the valley form the floral heart. The base of musk, vetiver, moss, civet and patchouli sets a woody, animalic chypre foundation with a touch of sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Voters mostly call it feminine and classic. Jean Couturier Coriandre and Ultima II Maroc have a close profile.
