Fragrance information:

Genji joined the Mary Kay portfolio in 1985. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the east, fruit, and floral families. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.

The sillage is very delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. Produced in the United States, and you can feel it in every note. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Genji is built as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Mary Kay is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.

The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Amber add depth to the backdrop. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration High indicates a stable lasting impression.

At the opening of the pyramid you detect vibrant berry opening notes: Apricot, Bergamot, Melon and Plum.

In the central layer you sense Clove, Cyclamen, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley and Rose holding a harmonious floral direction.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Fruit, Citrus, Floral and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Ambery, Wood, Musk and Gourmet.

Taken together Genji sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

I wore this fragrance many years ago, when I didn't even know what perfumery was. Back then, I couldn't distinguish notes and didn't think about fragrance families. But it was simply gorgeous, and it suited me perfectly! It could have taken its place among true masterpieces released for years, but alas. The bottle was also top-notch
2/5

This fragrance is simply awful! Bright, yes, but more in a bad way. Rich and regal? Don't make me laugh! There's nothing original about it, like everyone's heard it a hundred times before. Of all Mary Kay fragrances, this is one of the few that truly disappoints. It's a shame it's no longer produced, but honestly, I wouldn't even buy a small bottle
2/5

The perfume is simply awful and disgusting. It's too heavy and intrusive. This was one of those Oriflame fragrances that, unfortunately, didn't live up to expectations and smelled terribly bad. How disappointed I am that it was discontinued! 😒

Oh, how I loved this perfume when I had it! It's so bright and rich, simply gorgeous. The sillage is something else, truly regal, honestly! Real femininity, no doubt. The plum in it smelled absolutely amazing, so natural and ripe, like it was drunk :) Oh, how I miss it, where can I get my hands on it
