Comme des Garsons 3

بعید می دونم کسی طرفدار عطرای چوبی باشه و این یکی رو‌ تست نکرده باشه ، همنوازی زیبای چوب ها ، چوب های نیمه سوخته ی باران خورده ، به نظر من از خوبای این ژانره به خصوص برای منی که شیفته ی وتیور گرانیوم و اسپایس اند وود کریدم ، تفاوت های بنیادی و آشکاری دارن ولی برام یادآوره این تیپ روایح چوبیه اگرچه معتقدم کم د گغسون‌ شماره سه به نسبت عطر پیچیده تریه به خصوص در وهله ی آغازین ، ابراز وجود بی ملاحظه ای از انجلیکا و فلفل سیاه و ایمورتل ، فضایی سبز و گیاهی ، خاکی و ترش ، خیس و ادویه ایی ، شروع خاصی داره که به واسطه ی این فضا کمتر کسی ممکنه بتونه پیش بینی کنه که رایحه عطر در مراحل بعدی چه شکلی به خودش می گیره : شماره سه به نرمی دودی و چوبی تر می شه ، چوب درخت توس با پوسته ای از گل های سپید و رزی متالیک (رز اکساید) که تر و تازه است همچنین وتیور خیس و خاکی و شور ، فضای چوبی و اینسنسی عطر حالتی سنتتیک داره که به چوب پولیش خورده و واکس خورده ای که با رزین آراسته شده شباهت داره به گونه ای که سرو حتما بایستی در این شباهت دخیل باشه ، هر چه می گذره چهره ی اروماتیک و چوبی عطر جذاب تر می شه و حالت خامه ای و شیرین جالبی هم در بطن خودنمایی می کنه ، تنها چیزی که برای من آزاردهنده است حضور مداوم نوتی مصنوعی و غیرطبیعی و بسیار شبیه جوز هندیه که کمی توی ذوق می زنه... شماره سه با رایحه ای شبیه روستایی باران خورده معطر از پچولی و علوفه و یونجه ی خیس شروع می شه از جنس آئر و دیگر کارهای آنجلا که به رایحه ای بسیار مدرن و امروزی از سرو و توس و‌ وتیور ختم می شه ، با توجه به سال لانچ شدنش می شه گفت در سبک خودش پیشروئه و این می تونه متمایزش کنه ، به مشام من کیفیتی به مراتب پایین تر از کارهایی که از کرید نام بردم داره به خصوص که اگر امکان مقایسه وجود داشته باشه اساسا کرید با توجه به شفافیت و طبیعت فوق العاده عطراش برام نسبت به ماهیت شیمیایی کارهای این برند کاملا ارجحیت داره ولی این سوال پیش میاد که آیا شماره سه الگویی بوده برای کرید تا اون دو تا شاهکار رو خلق بکنه؟پاسخ این سوال رو بسپریم به اساتید محترم دنیای عطر پخش قابل قبول و ماندگاری متوسطی داره ولی برای لذت بردن در یک روز بهاری و بارونی همین کفایت می کنه نمره 7 از 10

You never see this one anywhere in the UK even in shops which have a comprehensive selection of Comme des garcons fragrances. Luckily I found it in the CdG perfume shop in Paris and my word is 3 the epitome of this houses fragrances(?) It's strangely aloof, avant garde and yet inviting. I can see how some of the fragrances from this house can leave people cold (especially this one) but I embrace the oddity and love to challenge my nose. So I get fresh bright frankinsence type top notes even a hint of juniper the heart is slightly peppery and herbal then a woody drydown. It's an odd fragrance and does have that cellophane, synthetic, new magazine, ink print smell to it. To me though it's quite warm and woody and comes across quite natural. I may just have a soft spot for CdG, Mark Buxton's creativity and will forgive them pretty much anything. It has an incense signature to it though and I love that about many of their fragrances, it's certainly not boring. Modern and not for everyone but I enjoyed it, performance was average and longevity was not so good.

I have entered into a florist’s, fresh green, fleshy flowers, some ‘bad breath’ from lilies and white flowers, from the remains of stalks swimming in buckets of water. There is much sharp freshness, and also a vegetal staleness that gets stronger as temperature and humidity rise. Or it might be a greenhouse, humming with plant and insect life and gardening chemicals, a bit sweltering, a bit threatening. After 30 minutes it loses much of its intensity. Green and floral, as if innocently poisonous. The slighly floral, nymphish trail it leaves is gorgeous until the third hour, after that, it has lost its juice and ends up a bit dusty-musty. A livielier vetiver in the base would have remedied that. Buy only if you’re willing to reapply. It’s very nice. Daytime spring wear and summer evenings. I would prefer to smell this on a man, but it‘s very much unisex.

opens green and floral and bright and then dries down to something more muted-- with those wonderful pencil sharpener shavings a few reviewers have alluded to! the greens, the florals, the woods, the spices, the glue and the pencil sharpener shavings... it's all just so well-rounded! the the brightness mellows out but never really disappears, with the greens and florals settling beautifully against the woody, smoky notes. I will say that the florals aren't as strong as the greens, but the effect, for me, is still so balanced and reminiscent of gardens and florist shops that I'm thrilled to smell it. it does fade to be pretty skin-close and gentle, so if you're looking for a big, long-lasting projector, this isn't it. but it also never loses its balance or strays into something I don't like. my favorite daytime scent I've ever had.

I havn ́t figure it out yet, maybe I never do. And thats a reason for me to really like Comme des Garcons fragrances. While I fell immidietly in love with CdG 1, this one is more of a shy one... At first it smells a lot of green pepper on me, and I find it a bit confusing but very fresh, wet and ripe. Luckyly it come off quite fast and are replaced with subtile notes of toffé, cream, different woods and some citrus... each of them comes and goes... Wakes my curiosity. Unfortunatly the fragrance is a bit weak and hard to catch, I can ́t wait to try this in the summer. :)

I love the review that calls this scent "Ode to Pencil Sharpeners"! It had not occurred to my nose the similarities until I read that review. Kudos! Of course while pencil sharpener is mixed in there I love this fragrance. The basil cleans up the pencil mess. I do not get any floral on me. This is a unisex keeper. It is unique but not obtuse. It is not loud so office appropriate. I would say projection is moderate. I would recommend trying it to anyone.

If anyone’s after a near equal in terms of “a love affair with a pencil case,” then 1899 by Histoire de Parfums will sate you. I’m devastated that this has been discontinued... I just noticed my bottle is almost empty, so I’ll be rationing it carefully. But seriously, how do all these notes just work so well together? I have no idea what’s happening at any stage in the development of this when it’s on my skin. At no point is it a bad thing though.

Hard to describe this fragrance. To me it replicates the experience of sticking my nose inside a brand new magazine. Glossy paper, fresh ink and glue. (Another reviewer also mentioned glue, so I guess it's not just my imagination.) That being said, I love it.

unfortunately this one looks to be getting discontinued. to me it's rather underrated and great for someone who likes CDG 2, but a little less powdery and sweet. it has this mojito cooling affect to it. great for summer days. spicy but clean/fresh

I have a bottle of this and dont want to waste it. Bought kenzo boisee and they are not even close. Does anyone have a good alternative that is easy to find?

For sale if anyone is interested, over half the bottle remaining probably 60%

The first wave is some kind of modern plastic-like freshness and an uncanny hint of fruitiness like i've never experienced before in a scent, later on there's a big resemblance with Hermes Voyage and as mentioned before a touch of Terre D'Hermes as well, later on a Frankincense note comes to surface and sweetens up a little to ad yet another layer. then the whole slowly diminishes to a barely detectable scent unfortunately. It's very loud and present in the beginning, the scent goes through 3 olfactory phases to eventually fade away to a very soft fragrance after about 3 to 4 hours, then it stays very close to the skin. Although the longevity is very low, i do love the scent. Edit: The longevity and sillage issue can be overcome by over applying, then it projects good enough and lasts quite a while longer.Hot weather of course, plays a big part as well.

concettuale, sintetico nella migliore accezione, questo è uno dei profumi che ha reso cdg così speciale tra i cretivi dell'olfatto, da farne avanguardia. l'accordo, tagliente come una lama, si inaugura con un odore acuto e leggero, resinoso e floreale, che richiama l'odore della grafite. quindi, come qualcuno ha notato, si percepisce un sentore, come di colla e di carta, insieme ad un che di alcolico. l'effetto è allo stesso tempo fresco ed erbaceo, laddove è pressochè impossibile rintracciare qualcuna delle note della piramide. la persistenza, bassa, ne fa una fragranza adatta al caldo. mai sentito nulla del genere.

Aromatic and unique. The opening was strangely masculine, from one side "Comme des Garcons 3" delivers masculine aromatic spices and on the other there is a bunch of very sweet notes slightly resembling industrial glue. Very soon it settles to a skin scent of a rather pleasant woody unisex scent. Even though I did like the opening, the lack of development and staying power (3 hours) dissapoints me. Worth a try for the first hour expierence, but not worthy of full bottle in my opinion.

Got this sample for my partner before it appeared to be discontinued, but decided to try it for myself too, mainly after the fresh basil, rose, cedar, and cardamom notes. On a strip, it smells exactly like the glossy pages of a fashion magazine, the kind you'd find on a table at the hair salon with the little fragrance samples tucked in the pages. Inky, dry, and glossy. On my skin unfortunately green aromatic notes just disappear, so I got none of the basil in the open, nor any magnolia or orange blossom. Just more "dry ink," maybe a hint of the mace in the throat plus the base notes coming through strong for me with incense and amber already which my skin tends to amplify. After 20-30 seconds a generic "floral" started to come through, maybe a mix of rose and jasmine but was hard to place - didn't really detect the tea-like notes of clary sage or freesia. After about 10 minutes I was strongly getting incense and amber, not too much woodiness of the cedar or birch, not too much spiciness of patchouli. At this point a sweeter powderiness started coming through as well which I don't get along well with and was a little nauseating, so I had to scrub it off. Never got the cardamom. Would probably be super interesting on someone with different skin chemistry where the aromatics could come through more.

Grassy/sweet light woody incense. Nice, even if not quintessential, imo. Low performance on my skin. Very unisex.

Just ordered a sample from luckyscent I love the concept, will update if I love the smell as well. :) Update: Bleck! XP, me no likey it smells like piney arm pits on my skin! ick least I only got a itty bitty vial && not a whole bottle...

I was just gifted a 75 ml bottle of this perfume a few days ago. It’s discontinued now, and a friend of mine knows I’m a big fan of old-school Comme des Garçons fragrances. I remember this scent from back when it was still in production, but the last time I smelled it was quite a while ago—I honestly don’t even remember how many years. Back then I really liked it. Now I realize it’s just not really my scent anymore. My taste has probably changed. On my skin it comes across quite aldehydic and a bit technical even though, technically speaking, the fragrance doesn’t really contain those kinds of components. It feels slightly sharp and a bit too fresh for me. That said, it’s extremely long-lasting and stays on the skin for a very long time. These days I tend to go for more musky, oriental fragrances with incense, pepper, and similar notes. So I have a bottle that’s basically full—I only sprayed it a couple of times just to test it. I’d be happy to sell it to someone who truly loves this fragrance. I’m based in Poland. ✨

Help me understand what is happening here. Such a strange assortment of notes it's no surprise that it doesn't actually smell like any of them individually. The blend becomes its own new thing. The basil and pimento combination reads to my nose as some pickled vegetable, but quickly shifts to other aspects... what I imagine must be the angelica and immortelle because it gives a dusty herbal quality to the composition. Dries down to the typical DNA of almost all Comme des Garcons scents. The woody backbone I've come to associate with this brand. By no means an unpleasant scent, yet I struggle to conceive who the right person or what the right occasion would be for this. I might recommend this to someone who loves aromatics but is easily bored and wants something unique. That person should sample everything from CdG to be honest.

CDG 3 strikes as one of the most easily approachable compositions in the house huge range. It's light and transparent with just a slight dose of weirdness given by the usual mix of naturals and synthetics that became an hallmark for all the CDG's lovers. 3 opens green and sour with angelica and unripe citruses joined by slight spices and white floral patterns. The overall effect is energizing and weightless but at the same time unmistakeably CDG with its tremendous futuristic vibe. A woody-incense base starts to remark its presence after a while turning, little by little, CDG3 into a transparent and radiant woody-flowery composition that could be the perfect alternative to CDG2 for anyone who don't like rose. Perfect for summer. Downside: weak lasting power (I bypass this issue by simply over-applying). Rating: 7.5/10

As lush as can be! The inspiration, supposedly, is a flower that doesn't exist yet. I definitely pick up on the basil (which at first I thought was a spice) and, yes, the black currant. Funny that glitterlust references cassis, an alcoholic beverage, in her description -- I find 3 awfully similar to Fresh Citron de Vigne, which is champagne-inspired. Anyway, this one covers all the bases: fruity, green, woody, spicy, you name it. Mark Buxton is a true genius. All hail!

I just got the sample for this and am wondering if I received the wrong juice. The top notes to me smelled so strongly of dirty ashtray that I couldn't stand it. The drydown was beginning to shift to a dirty ashtray in a forest, but I scrubbed it before I could see it through to the end. Did the Perfumed Court goof up??

I adore vegetal, green fragrances, so I was excited to try this one - but on my skin, it turned oddly sour, there a strong sweaty smelling undertone with the flower stems. I wish it worked with my chemistry! Did anyone else have this problem? Also ran into something similar with Regime Des Fleurs Little Flower.

I got this parfume few years ago, but unfortunatelly, it is not my scent profile. On my skin i can only smell herbs. Metal herbs. On the plus side, the logevity is a beast. have a bottle of 75 ml edt, 95% full and would like to sell it to someone who would appreciate it. Based in Europe.

This one couldn't get any better. There aren't any strong florals. It's centered more around a well rounded greeness with hints of cassis. It has the right balance of spices and a fresh woody base. It seems to suit all occasions and is versatile in both warm and cold weather.

A gem I have learned to appreciate when it was already too late. If you want to sell this stuff, you can message me. :)

If anyone EU based has that one for sale then I’m interested!

Yes, GLUE- please don't sniff it! (*_*)
