Comme des Garçons has launched the project Parfums Series 2000. Fragrances of each of the lines are united around the common topic.

In 2004, Comme des Garçons have again declared war to natural components and launched the next series of anti-perfumes, Series 6 Synthetic. The smells of a big city are captured in a transparent plastic bottle in which you can observe a garbage bag. Everyone finds something familiar, and even dear, in it, just as we like the strange smells of our childhood.

Tar is a smell of hot asphalt road that excites the passionate drivers, the smell of exhaust pipe gases, melted bitumen, and cigarette smoke. But, there can be a bit of nature, at least through the car window – sweet nuance of oppoponax resin and optimistic bergamot. Through all this chaos and polluted air of metropolis there wriggles the odor of wet soil after the rain.

The main notes are aldehydes, bay leaf, kerosene, leather, plastic floral notes, vetiver acetate, Chinese sandal wood.

Comme des Garcons Series 6 Synthetic: Tar Fragrance Reviews

alfarom

Tar is actually much less scary than it may sounds. Yes, it smells of pure asphalt and it is somewhat weird but, as usual with Comme Des Garcons, it results wearable, absolutely unique and very distinctive (assuming you're fine with the typical avant-garde aspect of most of the house's deliveries).

Upon application, Tar delivers an industrial accord of black asphalt juxtaposed to a slightly strident note of bergamot. The overall effect is remarkably modern, sort of urban-industrial in a very artistic way, unconventional yet very compelling. In this phase Tar brings to mind of large clean basements, modern art exhibitions at the Hamburger Banhoff, minimal techno parties taking place in ex-warehouses now turned into alternative clubs, brand new modern buildings, high speed trains, cabs, temporary Guerrilla stores, rainy days, wet asphalt. Tokyo, Berlin, New York...

The fragrance evolves into an amazing styrax driven drydown that while being slightly more approachable than the opening, it's still far from resulting conventional. Insensey, woody with just a hint of sweetness and with the typical synthetic facet that's the house's hallmark. Probably not a fragrance to anyone's taste but, if you're up for something really avant-garde, there's nothing like it.

Once again, when it comes to the binomial "weird and wearable", there's nothing like Comme Des Garcons.

Love it!

Tar and Dry Clean are my favourite in this range and both very wearable. This is very similar to Odeur 71 but not as sweet and much more rubbery. You get a lovely fake rubber opening note that settles into very soft and slippery leather scent. It lasts well and is never cloying or overpowering. I would recommend this to anyone who has a thing for leather fragrances but wants something velvety soft (and doesn't mind a good dose of rubber).

I LOVE this fragrance, unfortunately I believe it is discontinued in the stores (as I bought the last one).

It is a great layering scent, adding a bit of mystery to the otherwize trivial or typical scent in your fragrance wardrobe.

I would describe the scent as a mixture between poison, printer toner, burnt rubber, india ink, and car seats.

The packaging is AMAZING (the liquid is held inside of a black plastic bag encapsulated by the outter plastic tube.) And the spray with one spritz is refreshingly gratifying as it has a wide yet light range of spray.

If you like CDG odeur 71, you'll love this addition to the synthetics series (which is actually seperate entities which make up the odeur 71 fragrance to the best of my knowledge.)

The price is also great, running way less than your average CDG fragrance at 50-60 dollars.

I wouldn't reccomend this to someone who fears smelling..well shal we say 'different' or does not want to stand out. My only concern with this fragrance is that I'm not confident with its sillage or its lifespan, as I often forget I'm wearing it, however this may be perfect for a more intimate occasion; a scent someone will definitely remember you for.

If you're a fan of strange, unique, yet sophisticated scents like I am, you'll find great joy in a bottle of Comme Des Garcons Synthetics:Tar.

Another CdG fragrance that is amazing. And really hard to describe offcourse...

Love it, love it, love it!

It is like sitting at the sidewalk in a big and busy city, it is summer, hot, crowded but right across the street is a green and flowery park... But I think I´m to lazy to leave my place in the shadow. Close my eyes and imagine that I am in New York or maybe Buenos Aires...

My biggest problem with this fragrance is that it´s smell almost better on my husband! It suites him terrific, when he wear it I get all soft and weak... He smell dangerous, sexy and just about to take a ride on his HD. Please let me follow!

It isn´t hard to wear, actually it is really likeable and in a way easy.
