Perfume Parlour Blooming Genoa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Blooming Genoa opens with Petitgrain, Bergamot, Lemon, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Black Locust, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Honey, Civet, and Ambrette. Perfume Parlour's Blooming Genoa carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Blooming Genoa traces Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino's sun-warmed acacia-honey-and-orange-blossom bouquet, framing white florals in bright Mediterranean citrus. The original's airy balance and refined honey are pushed sweeter and flatter here, but it's a pretty, summery budget interpretation.

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.

About

Blooming Genoa opens bright and green - violet leaf, tangerine, lemon and bergamot - before unfolding into the honeyed white-floral heart that gives Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino its Mediterranean charm: orange blossom, magnolia, jasmine and acacia-like black locust. A drizzle of acacia honey, vanilla and soft balsam warms the base, with a whisper of civet adding faint animalic depth. The original keeps its florals tempered and its honey delicate so nothing tips into a heavy bouquet; this Perfume Parlour version weights the honey-sweetness up and renders the blend flatter, with the nuanced osmanthus and ambrette facets thinned. Projection is gentle and longevity moderate, keeping it a close, pleasant scent bubble. A fresh, honeyed floral best enjoyed in spring and summer for daytime and relaxed occasions.
