Genny Black Gold

Genny Black Gold, released by Genny in 2020, is a floral for women with a woody, slightly powdery character. Floral is the word everyone uses for it, about half also find it woody, and a minority notice sweet, musky, fresh or citrus touches.

Bergamot and neroli open it with a bright, honeyed citrus-blossom freshness, and aldehydes add a sparkling, slightly soapy lift that gives the start a classic, polished feel. The heart is a bouquet of rose, jasmine and iris: the rose fresh and petal-like, the jasmine fuller and warmer, and the iris cool, powdery and faintly rooty, which is what lends the scent its dressed-up quality. Underneath, patchouli adds an earthy depth, vetiver a dry, smoky rootiness, tonka bean a warm, hay-like sweetness, and musk a soft, lasting finish.

Powdery florals over patchouli and vetiver suit cooler weather and evening wear, and the aldehydic opening will appeal to someone who likes a more traditional, composed style of feminine perfume.
