Designed but not Fulfilled
Standard begins with a fresh, bright, citrus opening, that has a clean cut-wood element. I like the opening. But I deeply dislike the dry-down. I've never encountered a CdG fragrance that does this, but it then turns sour and animalic. It smells, to me, like bad body odour in the dry-down. I had read people describing this as one of the best woods from CdG, and I deeply disagree. This is nothing like the beauty of Palisander, Sequoia, Hinoki, Sugi, Wonderwood, Blue Santal, the Incense series, or other great wood notes from CdG. The only scent I've disliked this much from them before was Luxe: Patchouli, in case that helps contextualize my experience of it.

Amazing, but...
I feel that CdG and Artek tried to do something here but somehow they pulled an avant-garde stuff. Inspired by the later, they nailed the idea of a cold morning up in the scandinavian forests. I love if for the metallic, refreshing feel it gives. My girlfriend however, not a big fan as she find it very "churchie". Interestingly there is no mention to incense or myrr, but I do also sense it in the very opening.

Unfortunately even being one of my favorites, the price tag is quite high compare to the performance. What a pity.

Synthetic Lemon and Sweetener with your boiled Green Tea?
It's hard to make this out; it takes part of several things - but it's not really any of them: lemon, Aspartame, cedar, spicy and -yes- metallic, it's watery and wan but not weak.

It's Synthetic, and - teetering on the brink of Cheesiness- it tries to make a virtue of the fact.

Now it could be in the spirit of postmodern irony, but there's Quality here - no denying it. However, if I was forced to define it (which of course I can't) it would be less Phaedrus and more Jeff Koons.

I'll take some metal with my tea....Please!
I've been wearing this fragrance consistently since I acquired it and will likely finish this bottle before anything else that I have in my collection. This and Dry Clean are my favorites of the CDG line. What can you expect with Artek Standard? It is sharp, especially in the opening and you are immediately hit with a poignant lemon-y tea metallic accord with a cedar backbone. The saffron appears clean and a floral musk supports these quirky notes. Artek shares some characteristics with Santal 33 by Le Labo (both have that sharp woody backbone) but there is no sandalwood at all in this fragrance. I've layered this with CDG Synthetic Series 6: Dry Clean and some how they work wonderfully together. It is very clean and versatile. With respect to performance, you can spray this 10x without offending anyone yet it isn't a weak concentration either. The fragrance is weird but very attractive and easy to wear. Who is better at creating abstract/avante garde fragrances than Comme des Garcons? I really recommend this to any CDG fan....

Iso E Super with a metallic-citrusy twist. Honestly, that's it, it is pretty but quite flat and disappointing. Not for that price tag.
