Not photorealistic, but still evocative
As someone who spent years backstage, it isn't quite the smell like a theater to me -- there's not enough sawdust, paint, hot electronics, or burning dust. That's probably for the best.

There is a heat to this fragrance that keeps me sniffing my wrist throughout the day. It smells warm and a bit synthetic with an almost humid stuffiness. I once saw someone compare the smell of this to hot laundry fresh from the dryer and haven't stopped thinking about that comparison since.

It's that heat that makes this fragrance evoke the idea of the theater to me. Velvety seats, stage lights, the press of the crowd in the lobby with the lingering scent of rosy, musky perfume and after-dinner coffee clinging to their heavy winter coats. I adore the coffee note in this -- the bitterness cuts through the dustiness of the other notes and makes my mouth water.

Perfectly unisex and wears fairly close to the skin. I love wearing this for nights out in the fall and winter.

Comme des Garçons celebrated its 25th perfume anniversary with a fragrance on the Puig-produced 'export' line, Copper; a new series of parfums parfums, series 10, another collaboration, and a perfume that follows on from Odeur 53 and Odeur 71 (1998/2001). The Odeurs are among the brand's most unusual releases, having set their sights on new territory with their explicit conveyance of industrial notes, which can be read as 'inspiration' for a good half-dozen other brands and perfumers. Seamlessly following on from Odeur 53 or 71 was certainly not the intention behind this 'new' Odeur Du Théâtre Du Châtelet, or something that is now more difficult in terms of content and also rather uninteresting conceptually. Odeur Du Théâtre Du Châtelet has a similar lightweight construction as 53 and 71, but is much more sweet and perfume-like. But it is the narrative behind the perfume that makes the difference: as the name suggests, it is a commentary on a smell from a single place, the aforementioned Théâtre Du Châtelet in Paris, an institution. If 53 and 71 still had a multitude of places, non-places and objects in their baggage, now everything is much more compact and narrowly defined: Theatre, performance practice, breaks, buffet, coffee, material on site, make-up,theatre technology. And there is also very traditional talk of notes: ambrette absolute, black pepper oil, rose oxide, coffee accord, etc. Many scenic perfumes are a horror to me and I am therefore not at all sure what to think of the Théâtre Du Châtelet scent: on the other hand, it works quite well and I am reminded of theatre intermissions, foyers and dressing rooms as I know them from the Burgtheater in Vienna or the Schauspielhaus in Graz - theatre experts will surely smell them quite differently and smile at such a generalization of different houses, after all, every theatre has its very own odeur. All in all, Odeur Du Théâtre Du Châtelet remains a cosy, contemplative affair that takes up the Odeur concept to some extent, but ultimately cannot and will not match the esprit of Odeur 53 or 71.

Solid fresh scent, although synthetic. Opens with bitter citrus peel, then morphs with flowery and white musk. A bit like Pure Musc by NR.
