ITS SOOOO GREAT! I can smell the antiseptic cloves-scent too, although it is not listed. But for me its absolutely multi-dimensional! I snuffle on my wrist and can detect so many wonderful scents! (@SedNonSatiata) I´ve a wild heart, I want this for christmas!!! ;-) LOVE from LOUVE <3

To me this smells like cloves on oranges, or Christmas office party potpourri. Or a Christmas candle. I've never liked those scents and I really don't like them on my skin. I find this to be a very shallow, uni-dimensional scent and I had to scrub. To me it screamed "Middle-aged woman into country decor (geese with bonnets)."

(Thanks artsy mom for this sample!)Peppery, woody hemp assaults me at first whiff. Then the patchouli,tobacco and sandalwood join the party with the cedar making a quick entrance and just as quick departure the patchouli and sandalwood stay much longer with pepper and hemp along the fringe during the drydown. Chocolate is slightly discernable.Keeps my nose very interested. The wood note is dry, like an incense stick. I could wrap myself in a soft sweater or blanket with this scent sprayed on it and be instantly comforted.

The first spray of this one provides a ton of pepper and paprika. Enough to incapacitate the nose for the rest of the day. I was looking for chocolate and vanilla in there, but in vain. Cozé on my skin it remains dry, woody, very peppery, raw. Does not smell like comfort at all; on the contrary, there is something unsettling about it. It is a scent of old room with wooden furniture where someone used to smoke pipe very often. The room in no longer used, hence the dust and powderiness.

I am a bit on the fence with this one... I am quite intrigued by it, but I find it too dry. Some ingredients I was really excited about never made an appearance, and some of the ones I am not a fan of are actually really strong. Cozé is definitely something different, and shows that Guillaume is skilled in working with various ingredients, but it is not enough for me to fell in love with.

Cozé opens dark, smoky and dusty with coffee, desweetened dark chocolate, woods, prominent patchouli and a slight boozy bourbon note. Spices join the party in a while adding depth and mistery to this warm composition. In the drydown I still detect a remarkable patchouli note together with dark woods, sandalwood and hints of vanilla. While Cozé is often listed as a gourmand, I more get it as a sort of dirty spicy oriental that will appeal to fans of the most challenging compositions by Maitre Parfumeur Et Gantier, Parfum D'Empire and a bunch of Lutens.

If you're into fresh and clean fragrances you should carefully stay away from this, for all the others, this is great stuff. Maybe not as much unconventional as they want us to believe but still highly recommended.

Rating: 8/10

Dry chocolate, coffee, pepper and a little metallic smoke to open, warming up with hints of vanilla.

Coze, cosy? With this combination of notes, I thought I'd get that. But somehow the scent remains rather aloof and never manages to captivate me, feeling rather dry with the delicious scent of second-hand smoke that never gives me its intended effect.

I think the addition of pimento is also what makes Coze stand out from other fragrances--rather bitter, dry and suggestive of a metallic numbing effect like chewing on a dried clove bud. And in combination with hemp, perhaps adding to the 'tarry' accord that SNS mentions.

As it's rather cold today, I imagine that this would unfold and deliver more depth if my skin were a little more humid. Even if it did though, and albeit it original and likeable, the initial impression doesn't grab me enough to want to retest as I don't imagine myself wanting to wear this.

A concoction of addictive substances here! The coffee, chocolate and tobacco notes were particularly prominent on my skin, underpinned by the rest of the brew, adding up to a most unusual, unique perfume. I love it very much, thanks to my friend Yamba1 who sent me her precious remaining drops! It lasted about 4 hours on me, which is good for a PG scent. It's a 10/10.

The cynic in me looks at the notes and says this is brazen attempt to combine all the comfort scents of humanity- coffee, tobacco, cannabis, vanilla. And of course it would be called Coze!!
Upon application, Coze opens with a somewhat harsh, confusing burst of pepper that gives way within seconds to reveal the warmth of chocolate, coffee and tobacco - Ah yes, those comfort scents, but it develops so beautifully and with such grace and subtlety that it really does live up to its name. It is like a soft blanket, a warm embrace, or the feeling of coming home.
I have been looking for a scent with tobacco and considered Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille a little too masculine. Although off beat, IMO Coze is a good option for those who feel TV is too heavy yet want a little wisp of tobacco in the background.

Highly recommended!!

ah this is such a dream! starts off very chilli-like... which is waking up your olfactory senses to hyper super levels :)))) but just before you would get scared of the heavy pimento/pepper cloud it starts to unfold...

the fluffy vanilla introduces itself along with the dryness of the tobacco/patchouli/cannabis ...and it all starts to melt together.

I would not say I get specific chocolate notes but the chili and the rest are so magnificently blended that it is soothing and creating excitement at the same time (pimento has a nice warming effect, which i really appreciate in nasty cold winter times)

i loooooooooooove it!!!!

good sillage and lasting power.

Sit down light a toke and enjoy the trip as you go through a yummy and groovy journey with COZE! this non conventional scent opens with pure and uncut Cannabis

wisp of smoke caressing your senses with it's dry bitterness Dark Chocolate adds to the sexiness and
animalistic properties Oud brings the dark and esoteric
mysteries of the mind Sandalwood with golden hues ends
this journey with dry fiery nuances.

This scent is daring and doesn't follow conventional rules of perfumery this is a unique piece.

Room with a heavy ebony furniture, black leather sofa. On the table cup of black coffee and vase full of black black bitter chocolate with red chili peppers stuffed. Somewhere in a corner room is static full of ebony black ground pepper. Bitter intertwined with mild vanilla sweetness.
Very intense, not too sweet, but some kind of bitter-pepper a bit too much.
After half hour pepper evaporated and scent was chocolate-caramel woody.

Gingery, woody, warm and comforting but not too much even in summertime. It has a faint sense of brewed coffee, but that doesn't really describe it, either. (Part of that may be the canipa sativa oil, which PG says has not been used in a perfume before.) Simply beautiful, and as SNS says so well, a must-try.

Cozé is to scent memory what the Human Genome Project is to genealogy.

When the phonemes in its name meet a first whiff of this pitchy brew, Cozé brings to mind “primordial ooze.” The rich blend, featuring canapa sativa seed oil, pepper, cocoa, ebony, coffee and pimento shocks at first, then eventually soothes by evoking something far away yet familiar, as mysterious as Easter Island, as mundane as rush-hour traffic. It is not the comfort smell of mother’s apron or grandfather’s pipe. No, one must dig deeper into the past. Cozé unleashes an imaginary journey through time and space, encompassing the La Brea Tar Pits, the African Savannah, a quest for fire, the Lascaux caves, exploration of the New World, and your favorite leather chair.

Hot, tarry, dusty, as pungent as burnt rubber, and rather beautiful in an uncanny way. Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-try all the same.
