Dot

I love this stuff. Smells like a refreshingly sweet fruity cocktail. Edit: after a few wears im getting a better nose for it - think of this as a fruity CK 1

in the continuity of Dover Street Market and Serpentine, an ethereal green style with here an accentuation on a flower ,but don't try to recognize an osmanthus, it's a conceptual flower ;-)

I have to be firm and say I don't like this, nothing especially wrong with it but I see Comme des Garcon as futuristic, quirky scent trailblazers. Dot seems to have all the quirk but is seriously lacking in the usual innovative substance. I genuinely don't like everything from CdG nor do I think they are consistently good performers in strength or longevity but what I loved about them was their individuality and this just seems a bit of a half arsed effort. Seems sad that I would get so serious about such a lightweight of a fragrance, Dot is a flouncy fruity floral that isn't quite sure what fruits or flowers it is derived from? The shapeless, blobby bottle is about as about as focused and refined as the perfume inside. More feminine than anything and I'm sure ladies out there could find similar perfume aimed at young teens or celebrity fodder. I'm only disappointed and gave it a Dislike because it's CdG and I (perhaps unfairly?) expect more from them. Otherwise the smell is 'blah' and it doesn't last very long...that's all I can tell you.

A kind of pretentious drink, like Blue Pepsi or something. Over the top. It’s easy to go overboard.

I expected a higher emanation of glue. CDG disappointed me very much.

Light and fresh, just a little bit different than mainstream mass-market scents. More than anything Dot reminds me of those little sweet-tart candies, though this is not a candy scent. It's a little tart and a little, just a little sweet floral. It is fresh, a tiny bit green. It's fruity, but not tropical or candy fruity. Not much projection, and so this is an intimate scent. Leaning in for an embrace, it would be a light, pleasant scent. Dot would be appealing to someone who doesn't like "perfume-y" scents or florals or obviously "feminine" scents. It is almost genderless, but the light sweetness tends to go a little bit feminine in my view. I think this would be a good scent for a young person, even a teenager, who is new to fragrance and has an individualist personality. IMO, it would make a nice gift. Dot would also work for any age that wants an understated scent that they wear but which does not wear them. Great for offices or other places where louder fragrances would not be welcome.

What is this? Ok, at Commes Des Garçons they're not just responsible for daring and artsy stuff, they also provided us with a plethora of easy to like / pop fragrances that have often set the bar for other mainstream brands to follow. Well, Dot doesn't belong in either of these cathegories. Nothing to do with the avant facets of, say, EDP 2011 (the one in the same melted bottle as Dot) or the plush florals of Luxe Champaca. Nothing to do with the abstractness of the original Stephen Jones. Nothing to do with the daring approach of Guerrilla 1. Dot is a complete failure. A disappointment. A totally uninspired fruity floral with just a tinge of that metallic-incense base that's typical of several CDGs. Not enough character to stand out amongst the most daring deliveries from the house, not good enough to become one of those minor CDGs that while not shining for originality, they still can do the trick as safe-but-solid fragrances. Too bad because the bottle is cute. Rating: 5/10

Not floral; this is a very green (mossy-grass) fragrance with very toned down citrus (bitter orange) as a top note only; sometimes peppery under current. Nose website scent profiling recommended this perfume when I wrote down Bulgari's Au the Rouge as my fave (played around with it with different tea type peppery perfumes) and this one was the only perfume of the 5 that seems to have all the ingredients I like. However, my excitement was met with major, major disappointment. This is a GREEN (grass-mossy) type scent..couldn't pass as citrusy and couldn't pass as peppery either. I was told it is a light scent soft scent by my boyfriend (prefers it over flowery Good Girl Gone Bad perfume which he called "strong" - he probably meant sillage) but I hate the smell. Makes me feel "dizzy" from smelling it.

What is happening with Comme des Garçons Parfums or what is happening with Comme des Garçons Parfums Parfums ? In the ongoing extinction of many of the houses one-of-a-kind releases, think of Series 6 Synthetic, the majority of Series 1 Leaves, Series 2 Red, the 2011 release of the 'new' Eau de Parfum in the deformed bottle was - together with Black - one of the few highlights in the sea of their 'pretty good but not brilliant' Puig produced releases. Dot is using the deformed bottle, but it's saddening to experience a floral airport scent, not totally committing to a solifleur osmanthus trip and being miles away from the uniqueness the original deformed bottle symbolised.

I get compliments all the time with this one. It’s very Japanese smelling. I mean that in the most flattering way- it has hints of incense, orange, melon, grass and amber with an aquatic yet warm clash of very very soft sensual amber dry down. It’s feminine leaning but not in an obnoxious way because of the slight spicy ness. I cannot compare this to much. As it is very unique and such an interesting mix of sensual, fruity and aquatic notes- they all clash in an interesting soft and bright way... Closest thing I can think of is Incense & Bubblegum by Etat Libre De Orange.

A very palatable release from CDG opening with a minute's blast of generic perfume counter young floral but it gains some grace from that point on. The osmanthus is understated, not too fruity sweet like the actual flower. Its slightly green, slightly citric, a little woody ambery.... It fails to evoke the romantic image painted in the description but it's a nice attempt at accessible but well put together. The paper strips i sprayed this in could easily be confused with other young florals like the eponymous Eclat d'Arpege and it will surely share this market.

I have a distinct memory of wearing this perfume while watching I <3 Huckabees, an existential and comedic philosophical romp around saving a grove of trees. The detectives hired in the movie to investigate their client's meaning of life are zesty and unpredictable. Specifically, this perfume pairs well with Lily Tomlin's character. It's modern, oriental, a little industrial like a lot of CDG. And it gives the somatic feeling of floating above everything and giggling at the same time. 10/10 perfume and movie pairing.

i can't lie, i definitely felt compelled to try this because it's the scent vince staples wears looool. it's citrus-y, very uplifting, and quite pretty!! i don't get a ton of complexity and it's definitely a fruit-forward fragrance more than anything. very short-lived though, i probably get about 4 hours of wear before it is nearly undetectable on my skin.

A modern smelling woody floral that feels very urban and cool. One of my favorite from CDG along with CDG3. I haven't smelled anything similar to this so it quite unique to me. The only fragrance share some similarity to this one is Amazing Green, also by CDG but I prefer Dot more.

Completely generic non descript floral which you would find in any lower priced celebrity fragrance. As per the norm with CdG,longevity and sillage are below par. Spend your perfume dollars elsewhere I say. Pass.

Comme des Garçons Dot is a kind of D&G Light Blue in a fancy bottle available in niche stores!
