Comme des Garcons Series 5 Sherbet: Cinnamon Comme des Garcons for women and men

This is a nice scent.. more complex than the name suggests. A dry cinnamon very much in the back seat, tying the elements together, with an exceptionally 'clean', slightly styrax-y dry-down. A well thought-out fragrance, although it will not be to everyone's taste.

Despite the fact that this Sherbet is to cinnamon as jumping on your bed is to beeing an astronaut, this is a nice scent. A tiny dose of "cannelle" on a HUGE amount of white musk. Fresh but not too generic, with an acceptable sillage and a 3-4 hours lasting power. The budget for this composition was supposed to be very low. What saves Sherbet Cinnamon from precipice is Mr.Duchafour's mastery to make of a puerile composition, a very wearable fragrance. Thumbs up for the perfumeur's ability, thumbs neutral for the smell.

Rating: 6-6.5/10

I was in a bit of a random mood when I tried Series 5: Cinnamon. I had been walking past the Commes Des Garcons counter and spotted the small, white sprayer bottles and upon reading their labels went, "yes, I wouldn't mind smelling like cinnamon today!"

Well, it's cinnamon but not in a rich, exotic or spicy way. I've recently begun cooking a variety of dishes and so I've become quite familiar with the scent of freshly ground cinnamon. Perhaps the sherbet aspect gets in the way, giving this fragrance a powdery and strange fizzy quality.

The more the scent develops the cleaner and more subdued it becomes. It's delicate and clean rather than exotic and bold, like you may expect.

It just feels diluted and strange on the skin, like a deoderant or a body splash rather than a perfume. I must however highlight the fact that this fragrance lasts and lasts, at least well over ten hours.

I'm a big fan of oriental scents and anything particularly spicy, so this clean and synthetically sweetened cinnamon scent didn't rock my world, however for those that seek something a little different but clean at the same time, Series 5: Cinnamon could be the perfect pick.

There's no doubt in my mind that this fragrance is pleasant, cooling and pretty, however I wanted just a touch more character.

I like the powerful warm balsamic cedary opening,but then it becames very sweet ( by benzoin i guess)with an earthy rooty drydown. Not very intersting except the first moment.
