Perfumer: Fanny Bal
The transporting scent of gin at a coastal golden hour, a glittering seashore and soft focus horizon. Minimalist fresh fragrant juniper is dosed with olibanum to revitalising effect. While the sparkling spicy tones of pink pepper and mandarin are clean and fresh.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of close conversation in open air, when the light is fading and the mood is easy but alert. It suits a wearer who likes their freshness with a dry, slightly boozy edge: polished, relaxed, and never loud.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its citrus-spice opening can stay bright and its woody base remains clean rather than heavy. Apply lightly to let the juniper and mandarin project with a crisp, airy trail; a few sprays are enough for a refined, refreshing effect.
Who it’s for
For those who like aromatic citrus scents with a dry, modern structure and a subtle gin-like twist. It will appeal to wearers who prefer clean freshness, restrained woods and a polished, unisex profile over sweetness.

The nose
Fanny Bal is known for precise, contemporary compositions that balance clarity with texture. Her work often leans into clean structures, airy woods and polished natural materials, making her a strong fit for Headspace’s ingredient-led approach. For Genievre, she shapes juniper into a bright, minimalist study rather than a heavy gin accord. The result is crisp and controlled, with citrus and spice adding lift while olibanum and cedarwood give the fragrance its cool, modern frame.
Collaborators
Nicolas Chabot, Headspace’s founder, shaped the house’s Headspace concept and the minimalist brief around a hero ingredient, guiding the brand’s focus on reconstructing natural scent impressions rather than building conventional perfume structures. Jules Dinand is credited with the bottle design, giving the fragrance its visual identity.
Headspace’s story
Headspace builds fragrances around the idea of capturing the scent impression of a raw material in its natural setting, then reconstructing it into a minimalist, conceptual perfume. The house favors focused compositions, modern restraint and an almost tactile sense of place.
GENIEVRE (Juniper)’s concept
Genievre was introduced in 2022 as part of Headspace’s launch collection and presented as a juniper-led composition. The concept evokes a gin drink at sunset, with juniper, mandarin and pink pepper set against a woody, resinous structure to suggest chilled freshness and coastal ease.
Extra info
Genievre is the French word for juniper, the note that defines the fragrance. It debuted at Esxence 2022 as part of Headspace’s launch collection, and the bottle design is credited to Jules Dinand.
