Genes

Inspiration
For this colonia Acqua di Genova keeps the original packaging and bottles, still made after the old model. The scent was honoured with 24 gold medals at exhibitions in London, Paris, Vienna, Melbourne and Turin among others, received the Diploma d'Onore and the title Gioiello Reale, and in 1974 the Targa d'Oro of the city of New York.

Fragrance Family
Citrus and eau de cologne

Fragrance Character
A bright citrus eau de cologne after the 1853 recipe, here in the 180 millilitre size.

The Signature of Genes
A large bottle suits a colonia, because this type of scent is worn generously and often. The composition is not published. What you smell is the Italian ideal of freshness and neatness, light on skin and quick to fade, with a soft, clean scent that lingers longer on fabric.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Once people use Genes, they often want it every morning, and then the 180 ml is the logical choice. We spray it after sport, on a summer evening in the garden or on a handkerchief in a bag. After two to three hours the scent softly fades, exactly as a classic colonia should. For the whole family, and for anyone seeking a fresh scent without weight.
