Vanessa Somerset Design Geranium is a vibrant example of niche perfumery, released in 2015.
Created by the talented perfumer Vanessa Somerset, it is a unisex fragrance with a very strong sillage.
The Vanessa Somerset Design brand originates from the United States and specializes in natural fragrances, with Geranium becoming one of the gems of its collection.
This perfume belongs to the floral and aromatic fragrance families.
This makes it versatile: it works beautifully in every season, but truly comes alive on warm days, bringing a sense of freshness and natural harmony.
Geranium is an ideal choice for those who appreciate eco-chic and clean lines in olfactory compositions.
Vanessa Somerset is one of those perfumers who works exclusively with natural ingredients.
Her approach to creating fragrances resembles the art of painting: she blends pure notes to convey a mood and an image. Geranium was conceived as a hymn to nature, its generosity, and its beauty.
Every component here is more than just an accord—it is part of an entire story told through scent.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, this fragrance suits anyone who is not afraid to experiment and enjoys unconventional combinations. It is versatile across the seasons, from a summer midday to a spring morning.
The sillage is very strong, so 2–3 sprays are enough to make a vivid impression. Wear it on your skin or clothing—it develops with equal elegance either way.
If you have fallen in love with Geranium, consider Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin—it is also built around rose and geranium, but with a more dramatic character.
Oriflame DeMarco offers a spicy, masculine character, while Demeter Vintage Naturals 2009 Mimosa is a softer, powdery alternative.
Each of these fragrances echoes Geranium in mood or notes while retaining its own distinct personality.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The fragrance pyramid is built on contrasts and harmony. The top notes — Lime and Lily — create a sparkling, fresh opening with citrusy tartness and a delicate floral touch.
At the heart, Geranium and Palmarosa unfold: spicy, slightly minty geranium blends with the herbaceous, rosy nuances of palmarosa, creating a rich green bouquet.
The base — Patchouli — adds a warm, earthy depth that gently anchors the entire composition, leaving a long, elegant trail.
