Series 6: Synthetic - Tar Comme des Garçons 2004

More is not what Tar wants to be. Of course, CdG hits you with the smoked Opponax and Styrax resin right in the face - and that with a nicely tanned leather whip - but this series was not created to produce mainstream fragrances and please everyone! In other perfumes, a similar base note is then "softened" by, for example, amber, tonka, vanilla, and a certain sweetness, etc. Tar, on the other hand, is the pure hardcore version!

As already mentioned in the title, I perceive pleasant smoky notes, leather, and woods. Everything else is mercilessly overshadowed by these three characters - and yet I find them very likable and would definitely meet them for a whisky tasting at the pub around the corner. Because this association also comes to mind with this scent: Scottish Islay whisky! You either love it or hate it - just like Tar from Comme des Garçons!

Tar is definitely wearable - not always and only in the cooler seasons, but I find it radiates a certain warmth and is quite pleasant as a companion on a winter walk or on an evening by the fireplace!
