Comme des Garcons Series 1 Leaves: Calamus by Comme des Garcons is a Floral Green fragrance for women and men. Comme des Garcons Series 1 Leaves: Calamus was launched in 2000. The nose behind this fragrance is Bertrand Duchaufour. The fragrance features bamboo, red berries, angelica and celery seeds.
Fresh, tart and green. It reminds me of walking in a field as a child, picking a dandelion and smelling the milky sap. Fantastic.
Calamus is my antidote for the kind of cabin fever that comes with working in an office building where the windows don't open and fluorescent lighting is everywhere. It is a small dose of the great outdoors that dispells the smell of burnt coffee and copy machine toner. I've never been fortunate enough to sample the now-discontinued Seve Exquise, but Calamus is what I imagine it would smell like: new, green shoots bursting out of the soil covered in dew.
Granted, Calamus is more of a scent than a perfume proper, but what a sublime green scent it is. And if you work in a conservative environment as I do, Calamus is just the ticket. Low sillage on me, but quite long-lasting. My only criticism relates to the packaging, which is functionally fug.
i would love to THANK Tankgirl for the sample at 1st
starting with '' Um not a green fan , but well made scent always capture my senses ''
walking at my school garden its January , rainy gray wet day that i totally love , i can smell green fresh clean leaves with MUD , yes; mud .wet dust and mud
that freshness at the early morning with a cold wave . would be great with layering some musky sprays .
it could be a great air freshener :)
A very well captured scent of wet leaves, quite impressive. i woudlnt wear it has a perfume because it smells like dirt, rain and leaves but its amazing for therapy!
Big thumbs up for Calamus! The first time I tasted it it was in 2000 when it was just released and totally got impressed. I got a bottle and used it daily for several monthes. After that I decided to move to other kind of perfumes and so I completely forgot about this frangrance since a couple of monthes ago when a good friend of mine came to visit me and was wearing Calamus. I didn't smell it since years but my reaction was the same I had 10 years ago: love at first sight! This is exactly my type of green scent (together with Victrix by Profumum). A great opening with dry bamboo surrounded by bitter citric notes and vivid green undertones. Very distinctive (it's not easy at all in this kind of scents) and unique but at the same time weightless and easy to wear. Honest and simple yet genuinely fascinating. A favourite!
Rating: 7.5/10
The first spray of Calamus is not very invising. the fragrance is quite sharp and almost too green; there is something quite unconfortable in its freshness.
It's great quality, but it also contains something that at first made it a bit unpleasant, a bit too wild, a bit too natural. I think it's one of them fragrances that smell like a real garden sort of, but rather than carrying a memory of a real scent, it's the garden istelf, with all the weeds and gerbs and seeds. But it's just a bit too muc of a good thing on me.
The drydown is fantastic, spicy-green, and the sharpness is gone. But all in all Calamus is a bit too green for me to wear...
I agree with the poster below - tart, fresh, and green. If you're a fan of leafy or green scents, be sure to give this one a try.
This is exceptional. It's a great green earthy floral scent. It has a tart freshness but is quite warm and does have a milky sense to it. It doesn't last very long but is still deserving of a place in my collection.
