Musky Cat Fur
Okay hear me out, if you have cats and they use plant fiber or wood pellet litter... this smells like the belly fur of my cats.

It's musky, woody, warm, humid, and just slightly animalic. It's like mornings I woke up with my cats snuggling with me under the blanket.

I love this scent so much! To my nose, it lasts for a couple of days when sprayed on clothes. However, the sillage is rather poor. I do get faint wafts of it throughout the day, I guess it's just how it is with such fully molecular fragrance.

However, as I mentioned earlier, though I love this smell, it does have that humid and animalic aspects. It's borderline sweaty/damp smell, reminds me of the smell of the inside of the laundry basket full of my worn slightly sweaty stinky t-shirts lol.

Because of that, I don't think I would want to wear this outside of my home. And when you put into account the price, for basically just a home/going-to-bed scent... I don't think it's worth it.

Generic Blah
For a perfume touted to be "as singular as your genetic code," I found this somewhat generic.

This is an intentionally synthetic note blend, which I personally enjoy but recognize isn't for everyone.

On me though, this is straight akigalawood. I'm coming to the conclusion that akigalawood either overpowers other notes to my nose or simply reacts strongly to my skin chemistry. It also tends to lend a slight masculine lean to fragrances due to its savoury spiciness.

The strong opening softened after about 90 minutes, and the projection isn't nearly as strong as I expected after reading reviews (I prefer closer scents so this is a plus in my view). I occasionally got faint whiffs of georgywood but never picked up on any animalic notes or the creamy sandalwood finish that others have mentioned.

Overall, this is wearable but not special, and at this price point there are more inspired options available.

Jumping over his shadow...
Changes, constantly changing interests, meeting new people - all this happens because time never stands still. From one day to the next, it can happen that an impulse comes to mind that didn't seem appropriate before.

Fragrances serve as a statement, an opinion booster or are simply there to make you feel good and enjoy yourself. I myself often enjoy the synthetic clean scents, the airy molecular chords and have always enjoyed the kind of fragrances since I started my fragrance journey in 2020.

It starts with Molecule 01, goes on to Easy for Ecstasy or Solano. in 2023, around April, when I bought my Imagination, I found myself in another small perfumery in Hamburg, incredibly well advised and introduced to the fragrance Genetic Bliss.

I told them about my preferences and was shown the test strip without knowing what I thought the fragrance was. At first it was nothing to me. Ew, just pepper, just something thrown together. But I didn't want to be satisfied, somehow, so I sprayed a sample on my arm and went home from the trip.

A good 14 months ago, I was in a bit of a phase, unsure about work, a change in clothing style or style in general to something more "authentic/chic" and the first thoughts about the importance of the professional cornerstone became more and more present. Somehow, really "growing up" is scary. You realize how quickly days actually go by, how quickly weeks pass and how constantly everything is changing.

This is also my attitude towards Genetic Bliss, because I ALWAYS liked it better after wearing it. It comes across as cheeky, fresh, with spunk, authoritative, bossy and, above all, individual.

So this molecule monster ended up on my wish list In November 23' the time had come. (In addition to 4x ordered samples)

Jumping over your own shadow. Sometimes you don't even know that certain new things should find a place in your life and, above all, have one. The fragrance underlined the change in my style, my appearance and my self-confidence. Because that's what Genetic Bliss radiates: Self-confidence, a wonderful feeling of esteem and individuality.

The fragrance character remains relatively simple, but it should be noted that every molecular fragrance smells different on every person. I get a lot of pepper, airy-woody nuances and my own skin chemistry touch, which is incredibly appealing and attractive to other people.

The next time you are unsure about a situation in your life, an innovation or a change - just jump over your shadow, it can't get any worse.

Thanks for reading the story. I like you guys.

Not just for layering...
When I did not have the fragrance yet, I heard about it that it is suitable for layering.
I'm not a fan of layering, I don't like to create anything else because everything is already created for us.
Then during a visit to a perfumery, the dear saleswoman made me aware of this fragrance and also with emphasis on layering. I got the sample, but until I understood the fragrance, it took a couple of months, especially if you do not own only one fragrance.
Finally, the day came when I wanted to test the fragrance spontaneously. I found it interesting : quiet and loud at the same time. My jacket smelled still 2 weeks after the fragrance.
It's hard to describe what it smells like : woody, dry, spicy.
When you talk about Sytnetic as an ingredient in the fragrance, it tends to come across as negative. But when you read that Genetic Bliss is a unique composition of five pure Molécules, the fragrance is then not viewed so critically.
To me it is actually Molécule, Sytnetic...not so important.
Only what matters : the power of the fragrance. I have tried him of course to layer, several times with different fragrances.
And always the Genetic Bliss comes to the fore. I smell it out of other fragrances, it dominates very strongly.
That's why he is for me personally an independent fragrance that is not ONLY suitable for layering

The magic of a molecular fragrance
Summer was coming to an end and the days were slowly getting shorter and cooler. So I thought it was time for a few new fragrances for the cold season. My first port of call, as so often, was this wonderful Parfumo community! And while I was working my way through the countless great and informative threads in the forum, the Genetic Bliss was mentioned again and again. Hmmm...I thought to myself, a synthetic woody fragrance? Sounds interesting and the fragrance notes were promising.

So I initially ordered a bottle of this rather expensive fragrance. Greetings go out at this point to user TheScenter, who wrote to me directly and offered me a 5ml sample.

What can I say - it was love at first sniff! And so it happened that I was able to get hold of the small 27ml bottle of Genetic Bliss here in the souk. Greetings to Hanismells go out as well :)

Well then - here it is in front of me. This beautiful, minimalist black bottle from 27 87 Perfumes. Genetic Bliss was released in 2018 - but the big breakthrough has yet to come.

27 87 Perfumes is a perfume brand that specializes in the creation of unique and high-quality fragrances. The brand originates from Barcelona and was founded by perfumer Romy Kowalewski. The name "27 87" refers to the geographical coordinates of Formentera, an island in the Balearic Islands, which Romy Kowalewski uses as a source of inspiration for her fragrances.

To my knowledge, Genetic Bliss is the only pure molecule fragrance in their small perfume collection. The latest masterpiece from 2787 Perfumes. The olfactory interpretation of uniqueness, captured in a hypermodern fragrance statement. It is the fragrance that stands out from the crowd. The eccentric. The "black sheep" in the 27 87 family. Because all the flacons released to date have always been white.

Perfumer Jordi Fernández has created many a fragrance and his most famous ones are Haltane and Explorer. In 2018, he created this wonderful molecular fragrance called Genetic Bliss !

Let's now move on to the first impression: as soon as you take it out of the rather inappropriate outer packaging, you see an elegant black glass bottle. The simple and elegant design and the elegantly printed bottle label make an impression. The shape and the high-quality glass make this bottle in the 27 ml version a real hand flatterer. It doesn't even matter that the lid is made of plastic. The lid runs so smoothly over the spray head that you can immediately see the high quality of the workmanship. I enjoy using this bottle every time! The sprayer is excellent and distributes the fine water superbly.

Genetic Bliss is a linear molecular fragrance composed of 5 different synthetic wood molecules. That`s it - simple stuff! Immediately after spraying it on, it starts - but unlike all non-molecule fragrances. Genetic Bliss does not dazzle the customer with a tangy, citrusy note. Here, you get the full spectrum of the fragrance straight away! A gentle, soft woodiness spreads immediately. The way in which these 5 molecules are harmonized is masterful. This is closely followed by a light soapiness and creamy, fresh elegance. The fragrance is so simple and yet so difficult to describe - the best I can say is that it is a sensual, feel-good fragrance. This fragrance is extremely pleasant to be around. Genetic Bliss scores with five exclusive molecules that emphasize its own unique scent, with elegant and comfortable woody notes!

In terms of longevity, the Genetic Bliss will certainly not disappoint, as the H/S is above average! The fragrance is a real marathon runner - easily lasts 8-10 hours on my skin and can still be detected on clothing for days.

The Genetic Bliss has a moderate to strong projection, which means that the fragrance can be perceived for many hours in a reasonable radius without being too dominant. Even if you have sprayed too much, you will not be disgusted by your surroundings. Rather, it casts a spell over those around you.

Conclusion: Both thumbs up! This fragrance is more than successful and worth every penny. Why it never made the big breakthrough in the perfume scene remains a mystery to me. For me, the fragrance is great cinema!

Starts really weird with a sour yoghurt kinda smell. Then comes the familiar sandalwood javanol. Nice but avarage. For this price it’s a no.

Musky, woody, humid, slightly sweet & animalic. Reminds me of my cats & unfortunately also the smell of the inside of dirty-laundry basket.
