Comme des Garcons Play

When you first apply it, orange Tang floats around you!. Yes, Tang, that slightly metallic orange powder, that every single one drunk at least one time in our lifes, in the 70's. It's a definitively funny, playful accord, with that hint of synthetic, asepthic plastic note surrounding all. The orange mixed with a fizzy lime really stands out on the top notes and then the saffron and sage gives more complexity and a herbal twist at the fragance. there's a spicy pepper around too, and the juice get more mermeladey now. The sea note (iodine), is quite fresh and sparkly compared it presence in previous launches as "Kenzo pour homme" but still have a distinctive and, this time, vague balsamic aura.this accord really works on the blend of all notes. The drydown is kind of slighty smoky and has a light musc appears, giving a earthy as musty nice touch. Its has a terrible long lasting power, and, also it project massivly, so use with caution! It really smell much better on distance that close skin.

I loved this one at first when I bought from the guerilla store in downtown LA. It has lasted me for years. Its sharp and very fresh I always just get citrus and more citrus. maybe hint here and there of the pepper and saffron. for me it does not last long on the skin but smells great at first.

I so love this fragrance! I had it three times until 2012. And recently have been able to find a new box at a flea market for $40. To me this one is precious. I have so many good memories with this scent! It smells kinda gouache, wood and oranges. Love it!

Oh my, this is smells so...manly. And only in the best kind of way really. I over applied again, so I'm enjoying some breeze from my wrist when I type this. It opens very manly, with loads of lime and caraway/sage combo and this really smells like a good man's cologne to my nose. It continues that why at the heart part, becoming more and more manly. I think I start to get bits of saffron. What I love even more is when oakmoss hits in together with patchoulli. This is very, very classy. No, I don't think it's for woman though, but for man, oh boy, very very sexy.

The citrus opening is for about 15 minutes. Then their is an electronic smell as mentioned previously. I don't know what combination of notes makes this smell but it's their and very strange in a bad way. This smell is persistant through the entire scent. Also their is some musk but the notes listed above have no or very little presence. This is not to my liking at all. Sillage is low with longevity of 5 hours on me.
