Genetic Bliss

Genetic Bliss is definitely an interesting scent. I recently picked up a 10ml sample and have used it almost every day this past week. Its molecular, clean, and woodsy profile makes it the perfect scent for anything, quite frankly. At times, I'll get hit with the scent, while at other times it seems like I have gone nose-blind. An odd situation, but something I have found to love. Transitioning into the realm of molecular fragrances, Genetic Bliss is definitely a beginner-friendly and inviting fragrance that brings a decently long-lasting pleasure to the user. It's so simple and basic, helping me step back from the constant change and noise of the fragrance world today and appreciate the foundation of fragrance. Although I love this fragrance, the price point seems a little lopsided. I understand it is an art piece of a scent, but for many, including myself, I feel that toning the price down would help invite others to experience the beauty of Genetic Blisses's creation. Overall, I am impressed with my introduction to molecular fragrance and the house of 27 87. I look forward to wearing Genetic Bliss more and eventually purchasing a bottle. Edit: Genetic Bliss seems to have a wide variation of opinions on its scent, projection, notes, etc. Some seem to say it smells like burn't paper or burn't wood, but for me, is for sure more musky. Intimate to say the least, something you would wear to sleep, or if you were very close to someone. A pleasant skin scent that continues to grow in my heart. This is for sure not a safe blind buy, and a very interesting fragrance due to its individuality.

I gotta be honest here - I think 2787 scents are revolting. they are so bad I cannot imagine how people can wear them without gagging all the time. went through I think a 7-frag sample, and each and every one of them was worse than the last - except for genetic bliss. I’m recently leaning towards synthetic woody frags, and this one fits that bill perfectly. it is *completely* different from 2787’s usual “edgy” creations, it’s interesting that a perfumer capable of creating genetic bliss would also create some of the most vile-smelling frags out there. genetic bliss is mellow, inoffensive, under the radar, not flashy at all, it just sits there pretty close to your skin, waiting for someone to lean in or for you to gesture and bless everyone in your vicinity with the pleasantness of its scent - a scent which is synthetic cedar/sandalwood with a bit of synthetic oudy flair. it’s not groundbreaking or anything, it’s just pleasant, but that it is very much so. I got myself a couple of sample vials, will see if I like this after a week of wearing it layered with molecule 01, but I’ll probably get the full bottle once the samples run out.

Chemical woods done right. This is beautiful and mysterious, it is full of synthetic notes but it is really a great blend. To my nose it smells like a creamy, musky type of sandalwood/cedarwood combined with cashmeran/ iso e super, which gives a fuzzy vibe to the woods used. It's a perfect winter and fall scent, but also surprisingly good during summer despite its profile. It smells a bit like CDG wonderwood. I prefer Genetic bliss, which has something more, but that I can't point. This is the type of cologne you would turn your head to if you'd smell it randomly, because it doesn't really gives a fragrance vibe, more like a body-odor, in a really good way. The smell itself reminds me of the smell of the air in the city, when a thunder is about to occur. The performance is amazing, it stays hours and hours, and the projection/sillage plays tricks on me, it disappears sometimes and reappears randomly, with strong whiffs, even after hours. It gives me the best fragrance layering I've ever tried with Narciso Rodriguez For Him EDT. You should definitely try it.

Very nice peppery, vetiver x sandalwoody scent without being too loud but with strong penetration in the air wherever you are, even after 10+ hours of spraying. The similarities to Wonderwood (in sandalwood department) and to Tam Dao (in creamy cedarwood department) are obvious. Akigalawood signature flashes many trending perfumes at once, Bois Imperial drydown first comes to mind. With regards to @btpaulen's review below, there could be Iso-super type(s) for sure that might make it hard to smell sometimes, but there's definitely Javanol in this which is also very hard to smell but in fact being nuclear beast of an aroma chemical that smells in the air more than putting the nose close. However the price (for 87 ml) is way too much, personally I would go for Wonderwood/oud any day over this.

A really nice *abstract* scent. It's something between green-ish and wood-ish. Rather intense, when your nose *gets trained by it*(yes, this is how I would describe what's happened to me, at least; I went anosmic to this scent at one point, but now I sense it perfectly, all day.) Its intensity is somehow different from "non-molecular" frags. This one is always safe, never challenging, at least to yourself. It can be a different story for people in your environment, because things are happening *in your trail* that you may be not aware of. I often wear GB in office, and people would tell me stories about how they stumbled upon some "nice" or "pleasant" scent trail, but they would find it difficult to describe or identify it in more specific terms. As I told already, it's amazingly abstract.

Very soft. Very woodsy. Melts into skin. Not an oud fan, but this one is different. It's like you're smelling good without even trying. As if deodorant isn't necessary. Genetically blessed. So jealous! It gets slightly more bergamot-like on my skin. Zesty wood. Maybe a bit more flowery. Very cozy. This is my thing! Reminds me some other cozy perfumes. If you like this one I recommend Molecule 01, This Is Not A Perfume by blabla with guns (what's the name?), Chanel allure edp (my signature scent), Zwitsal, My Name by Trussardi, Zadig & Voltaire This is Her, Puma Flowing (discontinued absolute gem from the drugstore), molecule 234.38 by zarkoperfume.. For the Dutch: Genetic Bliss reminds me the strongest of the solid shampoo from Dutch store Dille & Kamille 'bergamot' (discontinued?).

I have already had this for almost a year and I’m still in love with it. I’ve discovered things like it smells different every time I wear it and it depends of my mood. Also I have discovered it is the ultimate layering tool, better than other “layering scents” I also have like Not A Perfume superdose by JHAG and Molecule 01 by eccentric molecules (which sadly I can’t smell at all). Genetic Bliss smells sometimes woody, sometimes like the cover of a new magazine and sometimes creamy sandalwood. When I layer it with other scents, it gives them more punch and adds that wordiness to the other scents. The price is high but, I don’t regret the purchase.

This is a woody fragrance that is so pleasing, and so popular in Amsterdam right now. It is that kind of smell that makes your head turn when you smell it on the streets. Addicting really. It smells all day, and the day after when you smell your shirt, it is still going strong. From all pheromone/skin boosting fragrances (like Not a Perfume, I don't know what, Molecule 01, Another 13), this is my favorite, simply because it is the most masculine one and although being synthetic, it has the most natural smell. It is very expensive (190 euro for 87ml), but then again: it smells expensive.

Ok this is an immediate love at first sniff for me, a molecular clean musk with creamy sandalwood. A synthetic fragrance that ends up smelling very natural, skin like and slightly earthy. This is straight down the line unisex with very soft performance and possibly the kind of fragrance that its wearers might go nose-blind to. But as a sucker for sandalwood and a sucker for clean musk, it is little surprise that I love this! Big shame about the price point! It has just dawned on me that from memory this might have a slight reminiscence to Radio Bombay by DS and Durga (another love)!

Fair warning, this is STRONG. Even if you aren't smelling it after the first 10 minutes, I guarantee you those around you are. This is due to the high concentration of synthetic wood molecules. I visited The Scent Room in LA (HIGHLY recommend) and left with multiple fragrances this being one of them. Instant love. Wooden woody wood. In the best way possible. It starts out very dry and peppery, but after an hour or two it starts to warm up and get a little gentler on my skin. I’m a fan of molecule 01 but this is way more interesting and woody and has immediately become a favorite.

Whenever I wear this perfume people stop me to ask me what I’m wearing. I want to gatekeep this so bad but I get so excited to tell them about it. This is 100% my favorite scent in the world. I don’t layer it with anything because the scent itself has so much character that it doesn’t need anything accompanying it. This is very peppery for me and very very dry. It’s a sharp scent and it works like caffeine for your nose. Absolute masterpiece and I have never nog gotten a compliment. I’m a teacher and even my kindergarteners tell me I smell amazing 🤣

I smelled this on a waitress at a restaurant and couldn’t resist asking her about it. Every time she walked by I was in heaven. Last week I bought myself a small bottle and I truly love it. The one thing about it, as with many molecule fragrances, is that you can’t always smell it yourself. So I’m questioning the longevity and silage a bit. For me it’s a very close to the skin scent, not loud or overwhelming. Like a nice shampoo or freshly washed laundry. Might become my signature scent.

Soft, sweet woods and clean musc. Smells wonderfully fresh, just enough fuzzy but not yet powdery, luxurious and very pleasant. Do not get fooled by it's softness, sillage is remarkable and very notisable, lasting power is incredible and probably everlasting on clothes. Does not smell like fir tree on me, but like an airy, slightly spicy musc without any animalistic undertones. Love the bottle.

I'm in love with this. Got a sample and loved the woody notes that would appear every once and awhile throughout my day. Very dry and airy, a thin perfume. One note is similar to Santal 33. There is a creamy aspect. A bit of the addicting quality like the scent of gasoline but with woody notes instead.

On my skin, this is identical to another favourite of mine, Fugazzi's Angel Dust. An excellent musk with synthetic woods done superbly. This smells so chic, sensual, expensive. To my nose, it is thoroughly unisex. I'd opt for Fugazzi any day, at a third of the price, though.

wow! It was love at first sniff. It is woody, slightly sweet molecular scent. I think I found that cosmic dust scent I was looking for haha. So mystical and addictive, I love it

Dry, warm, clean wood. No vanilla wood, no bergamot wood, no whatever-nonsense wood. Some may say it's linear and boring, but truly in it's simplicity lies genius.

Extremely addictive creamy woody scent. Smells soapy clean to me, blends nicely with skin but has great sillage.

I don't know what wood smells like, but if it smells like this, it smells really good.

it smells really good! If you like wood you really like this perfume
