Courreges 2020 by Courreges

I'm one of Courreges' biggest fans and I had high hopes for this one which, like others in the Courreges line, has become hard to find at affordable prices. Once you get to the drydown it does not disappoint.

A rich basenote blend of cedar and sandal woods, made nicely warm by musk and amber, swirls enticingly beneath a sweet floral heart note veil of rose, lily of the valley and jasmine, tarted up with the tang of violet root. The flowers and woods remain for hours in a way that manages to be simultaneously both light and dark.

I see how some might have had difficulty getting past the fruit cocktail opening though, as it requires both patience & fortitude. I've concluded that this is a cool weather scent, regardless of all the fruit & flowers. In warm weather the Brazilian rosewood topnotes combine with ripe fruits to create an acrid squirt of, um... kitty pee, which made me wonder if there might be some civet in here somewhere. Now that temps have dropped significantly, I find myself getting hungry for fruit cocktail instead of wondering how I managed to forget to clean the kitty pans!

Save this for cool weather and you're on your way to something special that sparkles as all things sweet and sour seem to do.

This fragrance is held together by dualities: light & dark and sweet & sour. It also somehow manages to be both woodsy and watery. I hate it and I love it.
