Green

This fragrance is like a khaki green-pure cashmere jacket over a sober all-black business outfit. It is a fresh but sober perfume, cold but very refined, is a perfect perfume for a normal working day, it does not have the unpolished that we usually find in unisex or masculine perfumes on the contrary a very well mixed perfume.That basil with jasmine ... wow A sophisticated aura, but combative and at the same time something spiritual-wise, it is the kind of perfume that Joan d'Arc would have worn when she would went with a message deputation to the Vatican. Very interesting smell, it is quite linear but in the end I can say that a menthol wood feels very strong. This perfume has a uniqueness that charms me, I never smell something similar. I know this is a house that focuses on perfume, but would also have preferred a more chic bottle, nothing necessarily fancy even a simple but better outlined one. If my comment help you and you like it I am very happy, don't bother to vote because some hyenas will come after you and vote it negatively because I "dared" to comment some Guerlain creations and the Communist fan community from Fragrantica want my head 🥱. But if I helped you understand the essence of this perfume, that's all that matters. #VotemeCommunistsvote, pretty ironically 😂

All these fresh wonderful and beautiful things in one fragrance. The opening IS a Mojito the greenest freshest leafy mint note and accurate lime citrus I've smelled. It also goes a little figgy for a second then the juniper freshness, settling to a straighter more herby vibe...which to me is tea. The heart of this fragrance smells like black tea, elemi with clean earthy vetiver and prehaps some cedar. I love it! I think sometimes they get the names of fragrances muddled because yet again Comme des Garsons have made a scent which truly is Amazingly green. Oh well I suppose this is called 'Green' to be fair. The drydown is different again it's oddly sweet the elemi possibly coming out again? It has this meditative incense kinda thing of CDG and a little of the Amazinggreen about it too. Major let down is the longevity...few hours at best and despite good initial projection it fades quickly. Can't fault the smell though it's excellent, sparkling and refreshing juice with a touch of earthy edge to it.

Turns out I love smelling like a (and I’ll echo this from the review below me) “squeaky-clean” mojito. I don’t think there’s anything too deep to dive into about this scent, and I count that as a major positive. It’s straightforward, super fresh, mojito-like, with the classic digital CdG wood gently underneath. A couple sprays before leaving. Driving into work this morning, before the sun has barely risen, glistening raindrops on everything from last night’s storm, which is now rolling off into the distance revealing a velvety deep and clear sky, long rows of pines shimmering in the streetlights as I roll by, “Handsome” by James Ferraro playing quietly... I felt the moment reflected the scent. I’m in love, and, as a regular incense wearer, it was the only fragrance I’ve tried that my wife has actually likes lol.

This is the first CDG scent I've truly fallen for. I gave a bunch of different "greens" a shot in hopes of finding something light and summery. This does it for me and will be my go-to this summer. I don't get basil, lime, or mint directly, but I do get a flash of fresh green upon my first spray. It lies fairly juniper heavy at first and reminds me of a gin & tonic without being too booze forward. Throughout the day it mellows into the lime a little but gets a sweet and soft little kick with the jasmine and musk. It doesn't stick around too long, but after some reapplication, it has a little staying power. It is an EDT and for that, I think it's worth the cost compared to pricier houses. I've had a few EDCs that fall off in less time. It's a bright and snappy scent - I love it!

Simple basil, mint and lime plucked straight from the garden, with the added bonus of a cuddly, soapy green dry down. The equivalent to feeling extremely thirsty on a hot summers day, and drinking from a tall glass of cold water. Or, in the spirit of transforming into a plant, the equivalent to photosynthesizing under the summer sun, passively welcoming the oscillating showers of H2O from the local sprinkler. Sometimes simple is all you crave, simple is all you need.
