Michael Storer Genieve Report
I ordered this a while back and have tested this for about a month. I have actually tested on myself to for the hell of it(Not in public of course hehe).
Initial Self Application Test
Very first thing when I got my package I open up the bottle and am smell the top with the cap off and to me I smell a very dark Rose pleasant smell and I was surprised because I was expecting more of a sweeter fruity type of scent after reading some of the ingredients and thought I would smell the Ylang, peach, and raspberry.
I am home alone and need to shower soon anyway so I decide to spray 1 to throat to see how it acts over a few hours. Again the initial thought when first spray I can definitely detect the Bulgarian Rose right away, with a hint of some type of musk, with some type of animalistic base to it. I really thought this would be a sweater type of fruity scent to it, but I still love it. I decide to spray 1 more spray after the first one about 30 minutes later to see if it changes. Nothing new to note with added spray just the scent is more powerful. After 2 hours the Rose settles in nice and this dam thing throws far as far as the scent goes. I mean the wife and daughter come home from school and they can smell the 2 sprays after 2 1/2 hours through out the whole house!
I ask what she thinks and she loves it(I was worried she would as this is for her not me lol). What is so cool about this thing as it throws very far and hits hard, but not overbearing what so ever. All it takes is 2 sprays I would suggest no more than 3 to really get the job done with this when, unlike my last report on Kadota where someone could wear 3-4 sprays if they wanted. This thing would not be over powerful, it just would not be needed at more than 3 sprays I think.
It has taken me so long to report on this because my wife does not wear that often and I refuse to put a half ass report on here. I finally got enough data to report on this.
Wife’s Thought
She smelled this in the air when I came home and really likes it and I was worried because she likes more a sweat fruity type and not so much the floral type of scent. She also right away picks up on the Rose, and notes it is different than most floral scents and is more a dark pleasant scent. She notes that there is a hint of something like caramel in this to that blends very well with the Rose. Also some type of musk also.
She is not to good with detecting scents and is not to much into this as I am, but this is what she gave me and she loves it. She laughs at me and my madness of testing some of the most ridiculous things and she says, “Now do I have to worry about guys hitting on you to”! I just laugh about it as she knows it is a fun hobby of mine and I don’t care what people may or may not think.
Field Test 1
We go to a friends sons B-Day party where he is turning 14 and most of the kids here are 10-14. We are the youngest couple there and it is a mix of whites, Hispanic, Native Americans, and 1 black couple.
Wife wore 1 spray each forearm and 1 to shirt in center. We get there and settle in and after 15 minutes or so almost all the adults are making comments and nice it smells and what threw me off was they thought it was the Rose bushes outside! I am kind of in shock, because I thought surely this is not happening like this, but it was. So I get us moved over to the other side of the outside yard. People make there way talking to us and then they notice the scent from the Genieve and are laughing about it now. They comment on how they swore it smells like the rose bushes and they love it and a few ask where I even got it? Not 1 bad take on it as men and women alike loved it. my wife is 40 and this fits her nice. This seems more of an adult mature type of scent as the younger crowd thought it was ok, but they are into other things.
Field Test 2
Wife again wear 3 sprays 1 each side of shirt and 1 to throat area in a sweeping motion. We went to a couples thing with the church and I am wearing 3 sprays of Ammo and the Genvieve is over powering my Ammo! I can detect the Genieve over my Ammo in the car and what I like the Genieve is not overbearing like some say the Ammo can be, this thing is very powerful and soft enough to make it not to much which is the most perfect balanced I have seen so far and this thing just hits so hard and throws far.
No one comments on anything with the scent, but we are in say 20X20 room and I get up to get some water and I can clearly detect this thing from about 3/4 of the way across the room with no problem. Now there is a ceiling fan in the middle on low and this may have help, but even if it did not have one this things just throws far.
Afterward we go to subway to eat and there is a middle Hispanic 8/10 maybe 25 that greets us. I am first and my wife behind me and right away she says as she looks behind me at my wife “I love your perfume what is it”? My wife says she does not know to ask me, and I say I am not sure and I got it as some type of sample for her and ask her thoughts to elaborate(I even tell her that if she tells me all about it that I will call that stupid number on the receipt on the back and give her a great review in exchange for her review on the perfume).
I have to back up a hair and let you know I am wearing 3 sprays Ammo 1X, 2 sprays of TAA 6% Neroli, and B-Nol 6% Neroli as well. I am not listing the MCG because this is a perfume test and not pheromone test.
OK back to story! She is talking to me as she makes us our sandwiches and after this she says ok great “I love that smell whatever it is, smells very fresh like using Dove soap and shampoo and conditioner, very fresh like and dark like a type of rose, but not a dark cynical type, more of a fascination type like a mix of dark fantasy with no evil to it”.
I ask if she can smell my cologne at all? She says she can not, so this thing totally whips the Ammo’s ass in the diffusion/sillage, scent department which is a total shock to me and this is what I am looking for.
So we get home and I get on the computer to go to there website and leave her a good review as promised.
Dry down test
After 2-3 hours the scent is still very power as this thing keeps just hitting and hitting and lasts. The rose does soften a little and now after 2 hours I can detect more like the animal musk and a caramel more type of scent. The Rose type scent is settling in more and the peach and raspberry are coming through, but ever so slightly and the Ylang is a perfect balance with this.
Now I have to note all by itself Ylang is an E.O. that does have aphrodisiac properties on men and women, and now that I think about this people did seem more drawn to my wife every time she wore this.
After 4-6 hours I can still detect the Rose a little, but not so much the peach, raspberry, but the Ylang I can. Now it is more of a musk and Amber type of scent, but this thing is still lasting and throwing far. Towards the end of its lifespan like 8 hours or over mainly the Sandalwood and musk I detect. Total this thing at 2-3 sprays does last 8-10 hours no problem.
Bottom Note
Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood, Angelica, Civetta, Amber, Tolu Balsam
Middle Note
Raspberry, Peach, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Mimosa, Violet Leaf
Top Note
Tea, Lily of the Valley, Bulgarian Rose, Ambrette, Rhuburb
Conclusion
A perfect perfume for the wife and what is very unique is all by itself while not a pheromone, still has great effects on people with the Jasmine, and Ylang in it and this works on men and women and people were very drawn to my wife not necessarily sexual, but just in general and people were much more friendly and wanted to be around here.
A very powerful perfume and in fact the longest lasting I have ever seen at 10 and sometimes 12 hours for a spray type and some how Michael Storer has found a great balance of all these ingredients especially with all the oils like the Jasmine, and Ylang.
Very worth every penny because all that is needed is 2 sprays and at 2 ounces this should be around 200 applications so even at the $82 or so it is very worth every penny even at this price.
My wife is not so much into the pheromones, so this is perfect as she has more confidence wearing this and seeing how people love her with this on and she gets treat better by men and women so this is far superior to normal perfume because of the effects it does have on people.
