Comme des Garcons Series 3 Incense: Ouarzazate by Comme des Garcons

For: women and men Designer: Comme des Garcons Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody

Series 3 Incense was launched in 2002 and was devoted to the five main spiritual teachings of the humanity:
Avignon – Catholicism
Ouarzazate – Islam
Zagorsk – Orthodox Christianity
Jaisalmer – Hinduism
Kyoto – Buddhism and Shintoism

Each of the fragrances is named after the cities significant for those teachings.

Ouarzazate (to be pronounced as 'war-za-zat') meaning 'the Desert Fire', is devoted to Islam and named after a small historical town of Ouarzazate in Morroco. Ouarzazate brings the smell of precious sweet and intensive Arabian spices and aromatic desert plants. The fragrance becomes milder on skin. The grassy note of sage, a herb that Morroco is known for, wriggles through the spaces, calming pepper and nutmeg, and opening the space for mysterious frankincense.

Ouarzazate is a fragrance unusual to Europeans and people on the West. It is a combination of spices and incense, very warm and very intense. The main notes are incense, pepper, nutmeg, sage, musk, vanilla, labdanum absolute, and cashmere wood.

to be honest, i was more curious about other scents from the CdG incense line, but this one took me by surprise. it apparently translates as 'desert fire' - and what a fire it is! pepper and sage, nutmeg, musky but with very little vanilla, some kind of wood that i haven't smelled before, all enveloped in a cloud of frankincense.
burning hot, spicy, exotic and unusual. doesn't seem to last as long as 'avignon' or 'jaisalmer', but it's still wonderful.

All i get from this is black pepper. I honestly detect no other notes at all. It actually made me sneeze after getting too close a whiff. Its boring and poorly done in my opinion and the bottle looks cheap, like an axe/tag body spray.

Surprise, surprise! I didn't expect to like this, just bought a tiny decant out of curiosity and educatioanal purpose! ;) I test Ouarzazate along side Avignon. The top note battle won by Ouarzazate. It opening softer and light. But the drydown is even nicer, smooth and warm incense. There is just a tinge of sweetness in it which would make this scent unisex.

This one paralysed me instantly. So much pepper surrounded by spices and incense, the note of sage gives the fragrance some nice bitterness, nutmeg - some sweetness and all that blends into a very unusual and unique aroma. I've never been to Maroco but if that's what its markets smell like, then they smell truly divine.
I can imagine myself wearing this fragrance on a very warm summer day.

I tried this fragrance once and feel in love with it. It is unique and enjoy fragrances that not everyone is wearing.
