Comme de Garcons - Amazingreen EDP

Whenever possible, I’m an outside of the box – color outside the lines – person.  So picking Amazingreen, an aromatic green fragrance, to test on some of the coldest days of Winter makes sense to me.  Why not break the “rules” and add a lush greenness to the darkest days?!

Amazingreen opens as you would expect.  There is a bold, fresh grassy greenness filled with all the richness of green leaves.  I get a blend of green leaves where the palm tree, jungle, and ivy leaves are not individually identifiable but instead combine to create a more complex “green” leafy note.  I also get a dampness to the leaves.  It’s as if you’ve entered a dense rainforest just after a downpour.  It’s that singular scent you smell as the rain melds with the verdant leaves.  I sense the promise of fertile life.

And just when you’re sure that you’re simply on a jungle exploration, in comes a blast of bright spice mixed with an edgy cold flint and a subtle smoky light musk.  These notes paired up with the green could have easily gone wrong.  Yet, while they exude polarized elements, they are connected to each other with an earthy sharp shot of vetiver.  The connection of the notes creates a sense of vitality and movement. 

Amazingreen wears on me for roughly 4 – 5 hours with soft projection.
