Odeur 10

With Odeur 10, Comme des Garçons has perfected the laundry scent. I had hopes I'd love this scent, but nothing could've prepared me for the emotional impact I had first trying it; transporting me directly to my childhood. I have always wanted to find the fragrance that most reminds me of being a kid in the early 2000's. That feeling of driving in the car with my dad, listening to classic house and electronica, drinking 7-Up, wearing GAP. To me this aesthetic is perfectly encapsulated in the note of laundry-aldehydes; clean, uplifting, musky, fizz. I've found some of these elements in other fragrances, like L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, CDG Standard, or CDG Synthetic Series Soda. However none felt quite right. Standard has too much icy, metallic lemon, and Soda is packed with white florals. Odeur 10, however, is a stripped back pairing of the two: taking the aldehydes of Standard and the sporty freshness of Synthetic Series: Soda, discarding the rest, leaving you with a simple, ambient fizz. The quality is incredible too. To my nose, it's like a better version of Byredo Blanche, and a higher quality Leau d'Issey Pour Homme. Despite being a new fragrance to celebrate 30 years of Comme Des Garcon Parfums, Odeur 10 feels like a scent that's been with us the entire time. It takes true expertise to create something so nostalgic, yet timeless. In Odeur 10, I've found that scent of my childhood I have been looking for, and I truly couldn't be happier.

The longer I own and use this one, the more I see how perfectly in line this release is with the previous Odeur scents. The fact that a lot of the CDG/Odeur lovers did not resonate with Odeur 10 shows that CDG managed to create a scent that is just as out there and evocative as it should be. A big factor might be the different marketing, the original Odeur scents had an extensive list of phantasy notes, while the list is very limited for Odeur 10 and leaves more to the user's nose: The field of technological scents was already explored more than enough by CDG in the past. The super sterile, clean, fresh, abstract, airy, ozonic facet of Odeur 10 gives it an incredibly avant-garde and futuristic DNA and yet it feels familiar to some degree. Clean skin, fresh laundry, air, the scent of nothing, soda, sparkling water, disinfectant, electricity, my mind tries to make sense of it and lingers between all kinds of abstract ideas of what this could smell like. Still, it smells very well blended and enjoyable. It will definitely bloom in the summer, but I feel like it can almost be worn all year round. Its abstract nature makes it crystal clear and ice cold during colder months, and its general wearability scales with an interesting fashion sense.

I have been on Fragrantica for probably 15+ years and never written a single review. Have made many purchases from the incredible reviews of others, that said. The poets of Fragrantica help transport me into magical, imaginary worlds that the perfumes quite often live up to. All that said, I cannot let Odeur 10 out of my head and am with a heavy heart nearing the end of my sample. My perfume scale ranges from heavy, dirty incense stink to aseptic surgical clean. And Odeur 10 is proudly at the end of the latter end. It feels like the multicolored reflections of bubbles made out of green Fairy dish soap in a metallic and sterile operating theater. It's cool and fresh and crisp, without a single emotion. Today I showered myself in green Fairy dish soap and doused myself in Odeur 10 from head to toe, and I am in heaven. This will be perfect for the canicular Summer months. And as weird and futuristic and cold and emotionless as this is, I also think it's probably very likeable for most. I feel like I smell germ-free and safe. I think you get the gist of my metaphor. A masterpiece of simplicity. edit. I got a full bottle.

so so so clean, I lowkey love it, it's a very unique experience smelling this, airy, fresh, clean, aldehydic, like being inside an oxygen bubble floating away, it really feels like you're inside a chemical molecule for some reason this one smells like my childhood, there's something in there that triggers so many memories and specifically a best childhood friend I had, it's very visual and I also love how it blends with your skin, gives it a second-skin scent, and pushes your natural scent forward in a very good way, I bet this fragrance changes on different people and skins if Odeur 71 is Gen X Soft Club, this is Frutiger Aero/Neo-Aero as I mentioned in my Ultrae review, I do a lot of analog VJing and artistic work and I've been looking for fragrances that could bring cohesion between what I do visually and my scent bubble, this is super interesting but not exactly what I'm looking for, maybe for the same reasons as Odeur 71, good candidate if I want to tone it down for an office in the creative field or a more formal context

my bottle from Aoyama just arrived. a great addition to all other Odeurs, probably the best one in the line. futuristic cleanliness. mainly aldehydic, slightly metallic and mentholated, truly ozonic — reminds me of Xerox machines and Soviet era medicinal quartz treatments that I experienced as a kid. it absolutely has some hydrogen peroxide feel to it. laundry detergent — in its powdered form — is also there, but it’s ‘very demure, very mindful’. quite unique: Humiecki & Graef Eau Radieuse and A Lab On Fire Almost Transparent Blue are Odeur 10’s distant relatives, more green and citrusy. think of it as of classic men's cologne but with high (natural citrus) frequencies completely cut. an anti-perfume in its true form: Odeur doesn’t feel perfume-y, it just makes you smell like a newly introduced replicant model. sits relatively close to skin, it is mild despite of its industrial vibe. lasts forever. 100% CDG.

These are truly outstanding fragrances, perfectly suited for summer, scorching heat, and blazing sunshine. Clean, fresh, and with excellent projection, they give you the wonderful feeling of putting on freshly washed clothes that have dried in the warm sun and a gentle breeze—again and again. The last few days in Europe have been brutally hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C. In weather like this, they really come into their own, providing a refreshing boost whenever you need it. They've quickly become one of my favorite summer scents. To me, they are an excellent alternative to L'Eau Chic by Nicolai, which I also absolutely love. Definitely worth trying. Longevity is very good, although after about four hours the fragrance settles close to the skin. That's exactly how I like it—I wear perfume for my own enjoyment, not to overwhelm everyone around me with my scent.

A burst of aldehydes. Fortunately for me, I adore aldehydes. This is an exceptionally clean fragrance, almost like functional product. I imagine a powder laundry detergent that's still dry, the bitterness of a green lime's pith comes through, stainless steel table, metallic laundry machines. A subtle sweet floralcy appears during the dry down similar to the sweet soapiness of CDG Marseille. I want a full bottle. Also, reminds me of Le Labo Musc 25 (Los Angeles).

Odeur 10 by @commedesgarconsparfums is more than a fragrance. It’s a jolt. A futuristic freshness. Clean, crisp, cutting. A burst of aldehydes, a flash of mint, a metallic base that’s almost soft. Nothing classic here. This is a fragrance that breaks the rules. I feel aligned, light, focused. As if I just rebooted. Not a perfume made to please — a perfume made to exist, differently. Minimalist, pure, radical. And it lasts. I never get tired of it. I love it!

Odeur 10 is more than a fragrance. It’s a shock—a futuristic freshness. Clean, precise, razor-sharp. A rush of aldehydes, a flash of mint, a metallic base that somehow feels tender. There’s nothing classic here. This is a scent that breaks the codes. I feel aligned, weightless, focused. As if I’ve just rebooted. Not a perfume made to please— a perfume made to exist, differently. Minimalist. Pure. Radical. And it lasts. I can’t get enough of it. I love it.

A clean, dry, metallic scent with warm aldehydes, crisp fabric, hot paper, and a subtle mineral edge. It reminds me of walking through a modern Prada building in Milan - minimal, polished, and quietly futuristic. As it develops, it softens into the smell of freshly ironed cotton with a gentle warmth. Unique without trying too hard, and one of the most memorable fragrances I’ve worn. Excellent longevity on my skin. ★★★★★

Im surprised at the hate this is getting. If you are looking for a powder detergent scent look no further, if you are not into those types of scents move along. I always love how suavitel fabric softener left my clothes smelling but wished it lasted longer and projected more. Blind bought this to try it out and im not disappointed. This is what i picture the laundry of a child born to royalty would smell like

its something you know, some happy forgotten memory, yet its completely new. I cant pinpoint what it is, but this fragrance makes me happy and thats what matters to me. It makes me and everyone around me smile or even giggle a little when smelled from my skin. The only bad thing is i HAVE TO buy it now, damn.

Exceptionally aldehydic, which I absolutely love. It brings to mind retaW’s Barney—clean, soapy, with a hint of metallic sharpness and a musky undertone. This is CDG’s finest release in years. At £160 for 200ml, it’s a bargain in today's prices, and a great signature scent for any season.

Ultra-filtered air with a slight citrus tinge. Smells like a soapy hand placed in front of a hospital’s air conditioning vent. Aldehydic, cyborg clean. I want to wear this everyday 8.5/10

My order from Nose arrived a moment.....and my my what a beautiful fresh scent. Gives you that fresh out of the shower breeze.

This is how I want my clothes to smell when they come out of the washing machine. Very fresh and clean. Soothing and calming.

The ghost of Florian Schneider-Esleben carrying a fluorescent suit in a Rimowa briefcase. Wunderschön und sauber.

like if static electricity was bubbles. really really perfect, completely outside the realm of “normal” perfume

frenetic kissing with static-shock lips & mint breath atop a turbulent washing machine

The more i wear this the more it reminds me of CK be once this dries down
