A wet and moody rose unfurls its dark petals, releasing the ancient aphrodisiac of saffron, along with bitter/fresh cassis. Javanol, an aromachemical summoning a rose-inflected sandalwood, creates the powerful sillage. Natural sandalwood and a warm tobacco ground the fragrance, adding depth and richness. Kashmir Fusion rounds out the velvety effect with its woody amber-musk.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Genesis suits an evening when conversation slows and proximity matters. Its damp rose and bitter cassis bring tension to the warmth of tobacco and sandalwood, creating a sensual presence that reaches beyond the wearer without relying on sweetness.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin: the Javanol-led sandalwood is designed to carry, so restraint leaves room for the rose and tobacco. Cool weather suits its dense woody warmth; in warmer conditions, reduce the dose to keep the powerful trail from dominating a close setting.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to dark roses, saffron-led leather effects and assertive modern woods. Genesis favours tactile richness over airy florals, pairing bitter fruit with tobacco warmth and a velvety amber-musk finish.

Brandt’s story
House of Brandt approaches each fragrance as a self-contained imaginative world. Its philosophy of purposeful creation connects storytelling with deliberate choices of notes, ingredient sourcing and partnerships, giving each composition its own atmosphere within a cohesive collection.
Genesis’s concept
Genesis was one of House of Brandt’s inaugural fragrances, released alongside KLĒA. Its name anchors a promotional narrative about beginnings, while the fragrance’s imagery is more intimate: black silk, red petals and the charged moments before an encounter.
Extra info
Genesis pairs natural sandalwood with Javanol, an aromachemical described as bringing a rose-inflected sandalwood effect and powerful sillage. Its base also names Kashmir Fusion, a woody amber-musk material that reinforces the composition’s velvety texture.
