The story behind the bottle.
Genius by Rasasi is a fresh spicy and earthy composition that debuted in 2023. The fragrance opens with the sharp freshness of ginger and basil, creating an invigorating contrast against the aromatic notes of bergamot and mandarin orange. As it settles, violet leaf and tobacco leaf introduce a layer of complexity, blending seamlessly into oakmoss and leather for a rich, earthy warmth. Vetiver and virginian patchouli anchor the base with their grounding presence, while amber adds a subtle sweetness that ties everything together.
For best effect, apply Genius to pulse points. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so allowing it time to settle will reveal its true depth. It's particularly suited for cooler weather when the earthy tones shine through without overpowering.
