my Geisha Foreplay is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021. Foreplay opens with Pink Pepper and Honey, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Animalic, and Vanilla. my Geisha's Foreplay carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Foreplay is a divisive but undeniably potent beast. You'll either adore its unapologetic sweetness and beast-mode performance, or you'll be running for the hills. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans championing its longevity and sillage against critics who find it unoriginal and overpriced.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with the rich, sweet, and animalic notes, make it too potent for an office environment. However, these same qualities lend themselves perfectly to dates and evening occasions, while its luxurious feel can also work for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This is a seriously sweet, enveloping scent. It kicks off with a warm, spicy hit of pink pepper and a generous dollop of honey, creating an immediate sense of rich indulgence. As it settles, a smoky tobacco note weaves through the syrupy sweetness, grounded by earthy patchouli. The dry-down is a deep, sensual hug of creamy vanilla, animalic musk, and warm amber, clinging to the skin with impressive tenacity.
