GECO

Geco is a unisex parfum by Zeromolecole, the Turin house founded by Stefania Marzufero Boni which has been turning memories into fragrances since 2009. It is a warm, enveloping spicy amber, a modern reinterpretation of one of perfumery's great classics: patchouli.

The Fragrance

For the house, Geco is a modern, gourmand patchouli, in which the warmth of rum meets the sweetness of honey and vanilla. Born in 2012, it is enclosed in the glass bottle with a black cap shared by the house's parfums.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is warm and decisive: rum immediately brings a boozy character, brightened by the spicy touch of cinnamon. In the heart Indonesian patchouli takes centre stage, earthy and enveloping, softened by the creaminess of sandalwood. The base closes with a gourmand touch: honey and vanilla leave a warm, sweet and long-lasting trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Geco To

We recommend Geco to those who love patchouli but want it in a softer, more gourmand version, and to those who appreciate warm, boozy perfumes. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings and occasions when you want a perfume with personality. Unisex, it appeals to those looking for a sweet, recognisable spicy amber scent.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Geco is proof that a classic can still surprise: in our view, people who think they do not like patchouli may change their mind precisely by trying this one. We love it because it is warm and reassuring without ever becoming heavy, and it has the kind of longevity that lets you feel the perfume on you for a long time.
