{"product_id":"genesis-leo","title":"Genesis Leo","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeo is the Leo sign of French Avenue's Genesis collection, twelve zodiac-themed eau de parfums released in 2025, and it was composed by Santosh Shinde of Givaudan. It smells like an orange dreamsicle: sweet citrus and powdery orris melting into vanilla cream, with a little black pepper and a soft woody musk underneath. It sits between a citrus fragrance and a gourmand without fully committing to either. Each Genesis scent is themed on its sign, and Leo's sun-sign brief shows in the bright orange-cream opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orris, Bergamot, Orange, Lemon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, Gourmand Accord, Cashmeran, Black Pepper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"af-source\"\u003eNotes verified from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fragrantica.com\/perfume\/French-Avenue\/Leo-107910.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Scent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is bright and sweet at once. Orange and lemon give a juicy, sherbet-like citrus, bergamot sharpens it, and orris lays a powdery, slightly lipstick-soft texture under the fruit from the first minute. That pairing is unusual for a top accord, and it is why Leo reads creamy almost immediately rather than zesty. One reviewer hears limoncello; another hears a citrus panettone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the heart the vanilla and the gourmand accord take over, and the citrus turns into a candied orange cream. Cashmeran adds a soft, musky woodiness and black pepper keeps a faint spark going, which stops the sweetness from becoming dessert. Reviewers keep reaching for ice cream comparisons at this stage, and it is the most recognisable part of the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dry-down is a powdery vanilla musk on a light bed of sandalwood, cedar and amber. It stays smooth and soft, with orris still adding a cosmetic softness. A small number of wearers report a sour, animalic edge late on, but most describe the base as clean and comforting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeo is flexible. The citrus keeps it from feeling heavy on a mild day, and the vanilla cream gives it enough warmth for cooler evenings. Spring afternoons and autumn nights suit it best, and Dhaka's winter months are an easy fit. It works for a dinner or a night out, and it is relaxed enough for a weekend. On the hottest, most humid days the sweetness can feel thick, so wear it lightly then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople who like creamy, sweet scents but want something brighter than a straight vanilla. It is listed for women and men. Several reviewers say it leans feminine, and male reviewers wear it happily anyway. It suits someone curious about the Genesis collection who prefers citrus and powder to oud or smoke. If you want a crisp, dry citrus, the cream will be too much; if you want a heavy gourmand, it will seem light. Value comes up often in reviews, and one Parfumo user simply asks how it can cost so little. It also makes an easy gift for someone born under the sign, which is a large part of the appeal of the whole Genesis idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full house range is in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/collections\/french-avenue\"\u003eFrench Avenue collection\u003c\/a\u003e, and other vanilla and dessert-leaning scents are in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/collections\/family-gourmand-sweet\"\u003egourmand and sweet collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenesis Leo is decanted into 3ml, 5ml, 9ml and 15ml sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"French Avenue","offers":[{"title":"9ML Decant (135+ sprays)","offer_id":67623368491373,"sku":"FRENCH-AVENUE-GENESIS-LEO-67623368491373-9ML","price":780.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ML Decant (75+ sprays)","offer_id":67623368524141,"sku":"FRENCH-AVENUE-GENESIS-LEO-67623368524141-5ML","price":464.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"3ML Decant (45+ sprays)","offer_id":67623368556909,"sku":"FRENCH-AVENUE-GENESIS-LEO-67623368556909-3ML","price":302.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"15ML Decant (225+ sprays)","offer_id":67623368589677,"sku":"FRENCH-AVENUE-GENESIS-LEO-67623368589677-15ML","price":1185.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/5900\/1197\/files\/French-Avenue-Genesis-Leo-EDP.png?v=1791278366","url":"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/products\/genesis-leo","provider":"AROMATICA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
