I just got the sample for this and am wondering if I received the wrong juice. The top notes to me smelled so strongly of dirty ashtray that I couldn't stand it. The drydown was beginning to shift to a dirty ashtray in a forest, but I scrubbed it before I could see it through to the end. Did the Perfumed Court goof up??
CDG 3 strikes as one of the most easily approachable compositions in the house huge range. It's light and transparent with just a slight dose of weirdness given by the usual mix of naturals and synthetics that became an hallmark for all the CDG's lovers.
3 opens green and sour with angelica and unripe citruses joined by slight spices and white floral patterns. The overall effect is energizing and weightless but at the same time unmistakeably CDG with its tremendous futuristic vibe. A woody-incense base strats to remarks its presence after a while turning, little by little, CDG3 into a transparent and radiant woody-flowery composition that could be the perfect alternative to CDG2 for anyone who don't like rose. Perfect for summer.
Downside: weak lasting power (I bypass this issue by simply over-applying).
Rating: 7.5/10
As lush as can be! The inspiration, supposedly, is a flower that doesn't exist yet.
I definitely pick up on the basil (which at first I thought was a spice) and, yes, the black currant. Funny that glitterlust references cassis, an alcoholic beverage, in her description -- I find 3 awfully similar to Fresh Citron de Vigne, which is champagne-inspired.
Anyway, this one covers all the bases: fruity, green, woody, spicy, you name it. Mark Buxton is a true genius. All hail!
This one couldn't get any better. There aren't any strong florals. It's centered more around a well rounded greeness with hints of cassis. It has the right balance of spices and a fresh woody base. It seems to suit all occasions and is versatile in both warm and cold weather.
I havn´t figure it out yet, maybe I never do. And thats a reason for me to really like Comme des Garcons fragrances. While I fell immidietly in love with CdG 1, this one is more of a shy one... At first it smells a lot of green pepper on me, and I find it a bit confusing but very fresh, wet and ripe. Luckyly it come off quite fast and are replaced with subtile notes of toffé, cream, different woods and some citrus... each of them comes and goes... Wakes my curiosity. Unfortunatly the fragrance is a bit weak and hard to catch, I can´t wait to try this in the summer. :)
