Pinrose Secret Genius is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Harry Frémont. Secret Genius opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of White Chocolate, Jasmine, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Pinrose's Secret Genius carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Secret Genius is a divisive one. While many adore its sweet, comforting embrace, others find it shockingly simple and utterly forgettable. Expect a delicious gourmand that vanishes before you can say 'white chocolate', or a scrubber that reminds you of something terrible from your teen years. Proceed with a test spray and an open mind.

About

Opens with a fleeting whisper of citrus before settling into its core of creamy white chocolate and rich caramel. A delicate jasmine note attempts to lift the sweetness, before a faint woody base of cedar and sandalwood tries to ground the confectionary delight. The overall impression is soft, sweet, and intimate, leaning heavily into gourmand territory with a polite woody undertone.
