Black Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons 2013

The first impulse "interesting" remains with me also the finale. To write this in advance is of course not so smart, but reflects my overall impression well. If I'm already at the conclusion, it should also be said that for me the sillage and also the durability are unfortunately rather somewhat below average. With other smoke candidates, this is clearly better.

Speaking of smoke... this is just harmless and therefore accompanies rather pleasant. The smoky Tyrannos and in the finish Norne, for example, I feel as clearly dominant-smoky. May be because Black has this component only in the top note and others in the heart or base. Pepper and a green note I feel just as harmless companion and brings a light, equally necessary freshness to the spiciness. However, only to the prelude.

Licorice is immediately and strongly perceptible. This does not reveal itself later, but immediately sets its mark. Therefore, probably also the interesting overall impression, because the exotic licorice remains until the end, but after a short time also well supported by birch tar. Finally, warm cedar comes to the fore, which harmonizes just as wonderfully with the birch tar. With smoked, spicy and licorice results in a very special, final mixture.

Rather than niche fragrance designating Black is not necessarily the "ripper" at every party, but if you like this direction, a relaxed and exotic companion, with definite heaviness. Not too intrusive, but extremely interesting by the unusual mix.
Clearly unisex, the fragrance affects me only conditionally, but of all things licorice, combined with very light sweetness and the warm wood make it well.
