The Lost Classic Rediscovered.
It shouldn't be new that I have a fondness for the brand Comme des Garçons (my tablet can't handle the accent on the C). It's the brand that always has me most excited about new releases. Compared to other brands, this is rather rare. Sure, with Zero and 10, the brand has thrown two real misses onto the market for me, but Max Richter got me back on board.
Now they have entered into another collaboration, this time with the fashion label Vacqera, and I actually thought that the fragrance would only be available in their store. Far from it, the fragrance is offered worldwide in the CdG range.
I won't go into the clothing from Vacqera here. Just to say, visually it doesn't get more classic than that.
With the fragrance Classique Perdu, I have a different opinion, as I believe I can definitely recognize a classic structure here, which for my feeling is that of a Fougère.
Naturally, this is characteristically not an entirely natural scent, which requires a certain openness to aroma chemistry from the willing test subjects.
The pyramid makes sense, aside from the sandalwood in the base.
The fragrance opens with an almost demanding mix of the green of tomato leaf and the acidity of blackcurrant. Lavender briefly flashes in the course, and a diffusely chemically appearing note can confidently be interpreted as felt-tip pen.
Over time, the clary sage emerges more and more, and the fragrance now takes on a certain quality of classic men's perfumery, but the floral components prevent it from becoming too masculine.
In the base, for me, the moss substitute dominates, along with resin and a hint of leather. The fragrance never becomes sandy for me while wearing it.
I find the longevity to be good, and the fragrance has a moderate projection for me. Although it is rather green and fresh, it works surprisingly well in cold temperatures, like today.
The Parfumo Intersport that I appreciate compared the fragrance to Cool Water. I can't agree with that. I've never liked the classic from Davidoff, and I always found the scent unbearable, even on others. Moreover, Classique Perdu also lacks the extra portion of Calone that was characteristic of Davidoff. But that is, of course, subjective and not worth discussing in the end. Ultimately, the fragrance is a reminiscence of the scents of the early 90s for me.
I have to say something about the outer packaging of the fragrance.
There is good trash and trash, and here I feel they have opted for the latter. A veritable plastic orgy surrounds the small bottle. The Styrofoam chips, in particular, have been unpleasant for me. This is really no longer up to date.
Measured against the now omnipresent Ambrox-whatever scents, with Classique Perdu, the so-called classic has not been lost in terms of name, but rather rediscovered.
