Coze 02

Parfumerie Generale 02 Coze This fragrance is Amsterdam in a bottle. I was in the middle of backpacking around the world with one of my best girlfriends when we landed in Amsterdam. We had just come from the beaches in South India where a palm reader had foretold me that I would soon be married to a Dutchman. This became a huge joke between my friend and I so, of course, when I arrived in Amsterdam, I was already in an adventurous fun-loving mood. Well, if the whole of Europe had to name one city as THE party city, Amsterdam would be it. I had been living in Berkeley, so I thought I had seen it all. But, this city took it to a whole new level for me. I had, what I call, the Amsterdam Deluxe experience. We were lucky enough to stay with two of the most beautiful people on earth who had an open marriage. A funny thing happens when you’re with two beautiful locals active on the dating scene, and that is that the entire city opens its arms to you. Within days, I found myself at a huge out of control boat party on the canals with a full band, cocktails, space cakes, chocolate and beer from Brussels, you name it. The boat took the entire party touring through the red light district. I met my “Dutch husband” that night and we were “married” by the DJ on the dance floor. I couldn’t have dreamt up a more hedonistic, fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience if I had tried. This fragrance has bottled that entire experience for me. From the top notes, to the heart, to the dry down, I feel like I’m on that party boat again, touring the city. The patchouli and tobacco were the first partiers to arrive. I’m not a huge patchouli fan, having been around the Berkeley locals who drench themselves in it, so I was a little worried, but this is probably the best patchouli note I’ve encountered. It’s so perfectly blended with the tobacco that it gives the tobacco a rich, smokey depth. I was actually surprised that there is no incense note because that’s what I got, but not head shop incense, but the same smokiness that you find in vintage Habanita. The sticky black cannibis note and the dark chocolate heart is what I fell in love with. That lasted only about an hour and I wish it would have lasted much much longer, although, it was such a fun ride while it lasted. The dry down on me was ebony wood with coffee and a lingering smokiness; exactly like that warm happy feeling you get when you go home after a great party, having met some incredible people that you just know are going to become great friends! Just, wow. Thank you PG for that incredible adventure.

Near my house there is a record store, the employees are all of the overweight, long-haired ex-dead-head variety. While I'm sure most of them have put their drug days behind them (sarcasm), a few like to light up behind the shop during their lunch break. Theres musty patchouli from a forgotten rack of incense and theres a worn in, comforting, almost dusty woodiness from shelf after shelf of vintage used records. Coze reminds me so much of this record store that upon first sniffing it I was instantly brought back there. Not many fragrances successfully transport me like this. Outside of my own personal memory bank, this is also just a really really well made scent. Warm and cozy (or coze'). It's blended immaculately and no one note stands out in an unnatural or unpleasant fashion. It creates a scent instead of just being a jumble of notes, no doubt because of the genius selection of notes. There is obviously very realistic cannabis (which i love in fragrances) but it blends with an extremely natural, strong earthy patchouli note which keeps it from smelling like a fresh bowl. Underneath the green bitterness there is a thick, toasty, sweet mocha accord. Slight peppery spice and some generic woody notes round it out and make it decidedly masculine to my nose. Not that a woman couldn't pull it off but this sort of sweet and dirty-yet-compellingly-alluring vibe I associate closely with masculinity. In the past I have retired Coze' for the patchouli note. I occasionally find myself intolerant. Most fragrances with a strong patch note I cannot wear but this one I always come back to because it's just such a good combination of notes and I feel that it suits me quite well. This is one of the few patchouli dominated fragrances that I love. Performs pretty great and garners quite a huge amount of compliments for me. 8/10

Warm, enveloping, velvety, chocolatey, dark-brown scent, absolutely radiating tobacco and spices. The smell of cozy pubs and bars in northern cities, with extra whiffs of old vinyl record shops in the 1970s. I find it delicious, but verging juuuuust on overbearing territory - it surely wouldn't go with everything, and seems so strong and rich it could be overwhelming on warm or hot days. To me this is a great big, bulky, imbued-with-bar-smells woollen overcoat you'd wear to protect from winter drizzle. At the beginning there's even a noticeable waft of ashtray - not poisonous nicotiney ash, but definitely a sense of something that's smouldered and been stubbed out. Hugely characterful - and I don't mean that as a polite way of saying 'borderline weird', but in the sense of being distinctively itself and not like much else I've ever tried. I'm powerfully ambivalent about it: for about 80% of the time I love and admire it, then for the other 20% I'm wondering if it's just too much. And this is, I'm pretty sure, the modern formulation tried on a woman - what must the old stuff on male skin have been like? A knockout, no doubt. Definitely unisex-skewing-masculine, but wearable on women - it's really *not* shy, though, it projects like a mother and is not a discreet kind of smell anyway, so definitely do try before you buy. ETA: Ended up thinking about this one so much I sprang for an FB and on this near-freezing, foggy, grey dark day in London it is EXACTLY the protective mantle my spirits need.

Coffee, vanilla, good herby almost black dope resin, chocolate, pepper, sandalwood, patchouli, cedar, ebony wood, the inside of a golden virginia tin. Coze by Parfumerie Generale, this stuff is "The Little Shop"/1978-79 in a bottle. The scent of those sophisticated chaps we were all in awe of, of deep polished wood, 1930s club armchairs, Italian coffee and mocha, dusty second hand fur coats and flapper dresses, chunky silver bracelets under the rolled up cuffs of crisp cotton grandad shirts, braces and bowler hats. David Essex and all the fun of the fair circa 1974 "Tarmac Your Drive For A Tenner Miss?" Oh. My. Goodness. Please God, do not send a man wearing this within ten feet of me, or my vow of celibacy is shot to sh*t. I gifted a sample of this to one of my more discerning male chums for assessment. He wrote: " a very fresh ground with highlights of matron's apron soaked with the bitter tears of a 3rd former who has fallen on the cross country run". I concur wholeheartedly, for his is the sort of erudite chap this fume suits perfectly.

Sit down light a toke and enjoy the trip as you go through a yummy and groovy journey with COZE! this non conventional scent opens with pure and uncut Cannabis that adds to the inebriation of the mind dries with crushed patchouli evokes the earthiness of dancing barefoot in wet mud under a summer's rain, then dryness of paprika with sundried nuances and grounded pepper make this a fiery exotica of the southwest a world of azure blue skies and terracotta red earth finishes the top level,Tobacco opens our second journey with it's wisp of smoke caressing your senses with it's dry bitterness Dark Chocolate adds to the sexiness and animalistic properties Oud brings the dark and esoteric mysteries of the mind Sandalwood with golden hues ends this journey with dry fiery nuances. This scent is daring and doesn't follow conventional rules of perfumery this is a unique piece.

The cynic in me looks at the notes and says this is brazen attempt to combine all the comfort scents of humanity- coffee, tobacco, cannabis, vanilla. And of course it would be called Coze!! Upon application, Coze opens with a somewhat harsh, confusing burst of pepper that gives way within seconds to reveal the warmth of chocolate, coffee and tobacco - Ah yes, those comfort scents, but it develops so beautifully and with such grace and subtlety that it really does live up to its name. It is like a soft blanket, a warm embrace, or the feeling of coming home. I have been looking for a scent with tobacco and considered Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille a little too masculine. Although off beat, IMO Coze is a good option for those who feel TV is too heavy yet want a little wisp of tobacco in the background. Highly recommended!!

When I first smelled this, I was stunned – dark chocolate, coffee and hemp. Lovely poison. I smell strong tobacco note. And fortunately – no cloves detected. I also smell sove expensive liquor, like coffee liqueur. All in all – great composition. I also love the different effects it gives to people – dark chocolate dominates on woman skin whereas on man all I can feel is exclusive tobacco with cannabis hints. This perfume gives me a feeling of time travelling. Genlteman with a dark lady drinking coffee in English cafe on a rainy day. Dark love developing... Generally speaking, it‘a multidimensional, rich and slowly unfolding perfume. Scent is a bit bohemic and unique, but definitely not loud or aggressive. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t last for as long as I could wish for.

ah this is such a dream! starts off very chilli-like... which is waking up your olfactory senses to hyper super levels :)))) but just before you would get scared of the heavy pimento/pepper cloud it starts to unfold... the fluffy vanilla introduces itself along with the dryness of the tobacco/patchouli/cannabis ...and it all starts to melt together. I would not say I get specific chocolate notes but the chili and the rest are so magnificently blended that it is soothing and creating excitement at the same time (pimento has a nice warming effect, which i really appreciate in nasty cold winter times) i loooooooooooove it!!!! good sillage and lasting power.

Warm, dry, earthy, woody spicy and a bit of tobacco. I tried this because of a comment on a Bois de Jasmin post that mentioned this as smelling reminiscent of a library, but like a gentleman's library. I wholeheartedly agree. Like the smell of an old library/study with dark wood and leather furniture and old books read by the light of one of those green and brass bankers/lawyer's desk lamp and cigar smoke and a scotch cabinet . I agree with Ouch! that it leans masculine, especially at the beginning. It's probably about as masculine as I'd go personally, but I love this. It's so comfy and spicy. I really want a full bottle.

It's a love for me. I am an ex-smoker with a lot of fond memories and associations to smoking, and this is my ultimate comfort scent. I find it very wearable too, it really is just a chocolatey, herby patchouli for those who are not familiar with the smell of hemp, and for those who are, it smells enough of it to trigger the brain's pleasure center but it's not gonna be off-putting to anyone. I love that's perfectly balanced between sweet and fresh, dry and damp. I can pick up the coffee note too, super relaxing.

I absolutely adore this scent. The tobacco/ patchouli blend I was looking for since I started my perfume adventure. Both comforting and exciting. It reminds me of my youth, of dark clubs and hidden bars, of laughing and flirting til dawn. Of tiny Parisian cocktail bars and late night cabaret. Lithe men with smudges of eyeliner and silver foxes in velvet. I've never had a bad scent from this house but I can't imagine Coze not always being my favourite

One of the best gourmands I have ever encountered. It's like a croquembouche soaked in coffee liqueur, dipped in chocolate ganache, then topped with billows of Chantilly whipped cream and melted caramel. The cannibis and mahogany serve to enrich and darken the other notes. Tobacco is a nice touch. The overall effect is a gourmand for grownups. Sinful and indulgent.

Gingery, woody, warm and comforting but not too much even in summertime. It has a faint sense of brewed coffee, but that doesn't really describe it, either. (Part of that may be the canipa sativa oil, which PG says has not been used in a perfume before.) Simply beautiful, and as SNS says so well, a must-try.

On my skin this is first of all a tobacco fragrance. The tobacco leaves are wet and fresh and pleasant smelling. Other notes include patchouli and spices to add complexity. It is one of the most pleasant tobacco fragrances I have tried. Long lasting. and vanilla...a lot of it.. long lasting

ITS SOOOO GREAT! I can smell the antiseptic cloves-scent too, although it is not listed. But for me its absolutely multi-dimensional! I snuffle on my wrist and can detect so many wonderful scents! (@SedNonSatiata) I ́ve a wild heart, I want this for christmas!!! ;-) LOVE from LOUVE <3

Smells what I imagine an English pub in the winter to smell like. Very smoky, brooding and sophisticated. Reminds me a bit of Monsieur by Frederic Malle but more palatable. I really enjoy this. I would buy it if I was older but for now I’ll stick with the sample. 8.8/10

Peppery, but very fresh patchouli with a musky vanilla. Such a comforting and very elegant composition. Complex, but not overbearing that your nose is trying to pick apart every single note. Calming to your mind. The name is perfect and suits it.

Got it a few days ago from ZGO and love it! Someone said it is a musky gourmand and it does capture Coze a bit. It is not a sweet scent, only slightly. It is unique, darkish, a bit smokey but very wearable.

Sweeter hemp tobacco light spicy warm and cozy scent, unisex yet not girly, mature but ever-youth. Kind of modern vintage effect. I love it and can wear in every weather. One of my signature scents.
