Comme des Garcons Series 5 Sherbet: Peppermint

GRASSY - GREEN - MINTY- ...makes me think of the fresh clean smell of mowed grass wafting through the air on a cool summer breeze in a lazy day in June... The musk note for me translates as crisp white tea-roses. Oh so fresh! It's a heavenly little concoction, one that should be part of everyone's SUMMER fragrance collection! I don't get any hint of sherbet from this... I think peppermint bliss or peppermint dream would have been a nice choice of name! J'adorrrrrrrrrre!

This is an awesome mint frag. It's all about fresh mint leaves, not at all like chewing gum and nothing like Menthe Fraiche. It's definitely got some pepper to it, which makes it unique. It doesn't project a ton, but it does last. It blends well with the cardamom and musk. If you're looking for a realistic fresh mint leaf frag, this is a great one.

Love this, haven't found anything similar yet. Ok longevity and sillage, but amazing fresh green mint.

This is one of the best examples why I love Duchafour.... Mint that you never imagined

Makes me smell like a mojito....holiday time!

Very nice and clean scent for summer.

Mint is a difficult note to pull off in perfumery... Typically, the efforts to create something that avoids smelling dental result in something that’s boozy, expensive and too upscale to actually wear. As of this writing, CdG S5 has a $55 1 oz bottle available; a great entry price point. The mint is in no way hygenic, leading the fragrance without dominating and allowing the other components to gradually make their subtle contributions. It’s a cooling scent, one well-suited to late spring / early summer. The longevity and projection are generally on the lighter side, but the white musk lends a little more body than you might expect from something designed to be worn at this time of year. I was looking for a fragrance showcasing mint that sidestepped the typical pitfalls and this hit the sweet spot. It hangs like a cool glass of cucumber water on a warm sunny day.

The mint in this smells nothing like the name "Peppermint Sherbet" would suggest. It is not sweet or creamy in any way. It is more on the herbal side and it smells very much like minty, wet grass. There is a bit of a soapy, rubbery feeling to it at times , but this isn't necessarily bad. Overall, it's pretty nice as far as a grassy, herbal mint fragrance. However, it is very short-lived. I dumped an entire dab vial of this on both of my forearms an hour ago and already it is nothing but a faint skin scent, the mint almost completely gone and only the soapy, rubberiness remaining. I would recommend trying out other mint fragrances before choosing this one. I find Roadster, Menthe Fraiche, and Herba Fresca are all better options.

This is so minty I just want to roll in it! It's all mouthwatering freshly-crushed mint leaves and rainy grass clippings, it's delicate but leafy and natural-smelling, no sherbet or chewing gum or anything else that I can notice. It has just a hint of slightly soapy vanillic warmth when it dries down to a pale wisp of nothing, which sadly is WAY too quickly for me, after only 45 minutes most of the mint is gone. But oh are those 45 minutes divine!

it is a great scent, at the time I sprayed it on my body, like I jumped into minted cold water...really fresh yet relaxing. I never found a fragrance like this....the closest thing to it was Thierry Mugler Ice Men shower gel, but still not as fresh as it is. Longevity and sillage are decent for a fresh fragrance, and sure I will get another bottle of it!

Smells like... toothpaste and Wrigley 5 Spearmint. A pretty great shower scent. The reviews saying it's more of a mint leaf smell and not a "chewing gum" are wrong, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It smells like spearmint in a pleasant way the same way CDG's Soda smells like frizzy Sprite.

Absolutely great for those days when I feel sick and I want a clean and fresh scent to not only smell nicer but cover the whole 'I'm a mess' feel. It is a beautiful minty herbally scent. Mint is so predominant here but I can smell a little pepperiness and musk.

I get mint and hay. A very realistic, fresh on the stem peppermint leaf which was so enjoyable and uplifting. However, longevity was minimal and the mint quickly degraded as seems to be common with this note.

Very fresh, very minty. It reminds me of Herba Fresca - Guerlain (with better lasting power).

Commes Des Garcons Series 5 Sherbet: Peppermint may have a big name, but this little, understated scent is the closest thing I've ever smelt to fresh, green mint. I'm not talking chewing gum, candy or strange chemicals, the mint represented here in this fragrance is just like the actual herb, like something picked fresh out of a garden. My mother used to grow mint in her herb garden when I was tiny and I still remember that intense minty smell when you rubbed a leaf between your fingers. I wore this fragrance when it was fairly warm outdoors, and it served its purpose in refreshing me throughout the day. I honestly didn't get the sherbet reference, there is nothing sugary or fizzy about this scent at all. Series 5 Sherbet: Peppermint is definitely unisex, delicate and cooling. The longevity is fairly poor unfortunately yet this fragrance is easy to re-apply throughout the day. The naturalness presented in this fragrance is what gets me rather excited, but when it comes down to it, this fragrance is quite an acquired taste. It's not really me, hence the reason why I haven't added it to my wishlist.

Woah! This is a complete surprise as the the review below states...not what I'd been anticipating judging by the name. Not strong, fake, creamy or anything like a peppermint sweet. I've also grown various different types of mint and I can honestly say this does smell like them either. However Sherbet Peppermint has the most amazing green notes to it, fantastically fresh and invigourating but with peppermint running through it. Peppermint and spearmint are not the freshest to me but have a really lovely quality. Comme des Garcons have basically combined a very lovely grassy, green texture, a minty one with a hint of pepper and played god, creating a synthetic yet totally natural hybrid...it's intriguing and to my surprise, wearable. Don't get any amber really or any cardamom and the longevity is weak, you'd better just forget about projection this one isn't going to play ball. Can't wait to try the others in this series as peppermint was not what I'd expected.

shout out to my friend golfgal. I love her to death, but this is now my favorite mint fragrance, and I'm almost finished with the bottle we traded. I'm going to purchase Green by Comme de Garcons from Ukraine which is the only place I can find a similar fragrance. Menthe Fraiche was a bit of a disappointment. I gave it a shot. I have a bottle of Herba Fresca I never touch. Peppermint Sherbet is green and minty, and such a pleasure to wear on a hot Miami day. sorry, I don't care what the other reviewers are saying about the minty toothpaste vibe. Y'all must be thinking of Lush Dirty. Peppermint Sherbet is my favorite mint fragrance. Another great minty fragrance is Mediterraneo Carthusia which I just recently smelled, but the cap sucks. Decisions, decisions.

Creamy peppermint and a big white musk. There is a pleasant milkiness to this, and it does escape just smelling like mouthwash, but it's exceedingly plain overall. I feel rather indifferent to this fragrance, especially with much more interesting mint fragrances - Leaves Series' Mint and Sweet Series' Nomad Tea - in the same line.

Well, it's mint... what can you say. Forget the notes above, it is Top: Mint, Middle: Mint, Bottom: it doesn't last long enough to get to the bottom, but if it did I suspect it would be: Mint. Very nice I suppose, but do you really want to smell like, ummm, mint? Works as aromatherapy.

Oh what a delicious one you are. The PERFECT mint scent, honestly, I dont know any other mint scent that doesnt smell like a mint tea or peppermint gum. This one is so soft and sweet, airy and cooling Another perfect summer scent Perfume: 10/10 Price: okay

It started like wood on my skin and then the mint appeared. We were like 40o in Southeast Spain and the mint made a freezing feeling on my skin. Interestign, but I am not sure if I want to smell like a mint julep!

Interesting scent, exactly like chewing gum, if anybody wants to smell like Wrigley's, do it. I'm not.
