About this deal

Of course, smelling vintage Geminesse is not the same as smelling Geminesse in 1974. (Are animalic notes like chili, where the heat builds over time?) The Prism Parfums release of Geminesse doesn’t smell like the vintage Geminesse I sampled. It’s less skanky and spicy, for one thing. But it’s still a floral leather. LADY of the LAKE / Fresh Lake Water Damp Stone Fog & Mist / Book Inspired / King Arthur Collection / Roll-On Perfume Oil DARK ACADEMIA / Caramel Espresso Leather Cardamom Sandalwood Vanilla Iris Amber & Musk / Book Inspired / Genre / Roll-On Perfume Oil Hermès Cuir d’Ange adds heliotrope to the mix, with a blend that is a distant cousin to that found in Esprit d’Oscar and the original Oscar de la Renta parfum. I get a leather note from both de la Rentas, particularly Esprit d’Oscar, though it’s not listed in the notes for either. Violet and heliotrope are, however, so I’m not sure if I’m smelling leather or if it’s facets of the violet translating as such. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Perfume Text Review 1/3

I dream about being a Nose one day… I have thought of 100’s of scents in myriad combinations… I hope one day I get to realize some of them… Besides the floral leathers I list here, I like Ann Gérard Cuir de Nacre, Balmain Miss Balmain, and Heeley Cuir de Pleine Fleur (and probably loads more I'm forgetting). Which floral leathers would you recommend to someone new to the genre?

Geminesse is a feminine perfume by Prism Parfums. The scent was launched by Max Factor in 1974, and was discontinued for many years before being relaunched in 2015 by Prism Parfums, who describe it as: Ha! The things we do for our kids. I can’t scent my linen cupboard with sandalwood soap (the really strong stuff you get from Indian grocers) because my son complains so much.

I’m curious about these rereleases from Prism Parfums and appreciate your taking the time to review them, even if I haven’t smelled the originals. It’s nice to escape from department store sometimes and these sound just the thing. I was starting to get excited about this one (I love Cuir de Lancome and Jolie Madame, and I wear Kelly Caleche edp fairly often as well) until you said “orange blossom” and “soapy.” OB frequently does that soapy thing on me, and I’m certain I wouldn’t enjoy soapy saddles on my wrist. brands, products in thousands of categories from hundreds of retailers to give you reliable purchasing advice. This is a very interesting scent, coming as it does in the mid-1970s, as it belongs more in the late 1940s-early 1950s. Geminesse’s floral heart flattens to soapy orange blossom for me, and this is where it parts ways with some of my favorite floral leathers. Wet, earthy violet tempers Pierre Balmain Jolie Madame’s leather. Fuller white flowers with a touch of rose gives Diorling body. Woody spice adds dimension to Lanvin Scandal. I like the soft dampness of a fuller floral heart, or the clear statement of a tart green leather. Geminesse tosses aside romance and attitude and lands on plain old soapy leather.

There’s something about floral delicacy playing against rough, salty leather, and even better when the leather is softened by moss. If you love floral leathers, the Prism Parfums reissue of Geminesse won’t cause you to abandon your bottle of Chanel Cuir de Russie, but it’s worth a sniff — especially at its price.
