"young people hanging together, skating together — concrete and skateboards.” ★★★★ (4 / 5 stars) Unisex theme based fragrance. Surprisingly wearable spring summer concoction with a beautiful roughness and energy about it. I have no idea what is meant by a soviet era perfume - but the packaging and bottle are definitely unique and give a nod towards an urban counter culture. Nothing sweet, metro, or gourmand about this fragrance. It's raw, herbal, earthy. Even the floral and citrus notes are dormant and hidden in the background. It wears close to the skin - as a scent like this should, and longevity is around 6 hours for me. Nothing spectacular but acceptable. This was given to me by a relative that had a feeling I wouldnt have this in my collection. (sneaky bastards - they were right) Best description I can give is that it smells like a farmers market on a hot summer day - tents setup over hot concrete with local vendors showcasing their crop. Potting soil, plants, vegetables, handmade crafts, baskets, and herbal remedies. Toss in a light ozonic breeze and dusting of metalic patchouli. It's weird... And beautiful .... And I can't wait to wear it like crazy this summer.

Great scent!!!!! I wore this everyday for a semester or two during college. Smelled woody but also has hints of rubber or asphalt that makes it very unique. Although I don’t have it anymore I would buy another bottle no question. Does not project very much and dosent last as long as other colognes at the same price but it’s still awesome and different. I get tired of a lot of colognes that smells the same or generic to me but I never got tired of this one. Good job by cdg here, they continue to release fragrances that are totally different from the current trends in my opinion.

It's annoying that this designer got cancelled because I lovvve this scent. Perfect piney/green unisex fragrance. My only critique is that it evaporates very quickly. Makes me think of hay and tennis balls. Has a calm quality to it. I loved wearing this in summer during hot weather, in a mens white cotton vest and shorts. I would buy this scent again if it wasn't discontinued.

My perfect perfume too bad it’s discontinued been hunting for a replacement since then. It does smells like a skateboard before a thunderstorm, really nailed the petrichor notes with just a touch of gasoline that brings the tennis ball like scent. Very intimate on the skin with almost no sillage

It smells identical to this Axe body spray i used to use, which is the last thing i expected a CDG to smell like lol. Brings back amazing memories and I think it smells great! I'm glad i can wear that scent now without having to own a can of Axe lol
