Genius Me

The crisp morning after a late night brainstorming session, where the freshness of orange peel meets the sharp clarity of metallic notes and the earthy comfort of moss.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Genius Me by Rabanne is crafted by perfumer Dominique Ropion and stands out with its intriguing blend of fresh citrus and metallic notes. The top note of orange peel introduces a vibrant freshness that cuts through the aromatic heart of rosemary, creating an unexpected tension. This is grounded by base notes of moss and metallic elements, giving it a modern edge without sacrificing depth. It's a fragrance that invites you to explore its layers, revealing different facets throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points; the metallic notes will develop over time, giving a lasting impression. This fragrance is best worn during cooler weather when its fresh spicy elements can really shine without becoming too overwhelming.
