I'm a Play Greener Fan!
Yes, I am a mint fan.
And yes, I am glad that this little, fine fragrance hasn't gained more attention yet, because it is one of the few independent scents that you can't really show off with :-))

It is more of a "little scent". It comes across modestly. A "come closer if you want me" fragrance.
And yet it carries a little flag behind it to present itself.
To reduce it to just a chewing gum note does not do it justice.

After I finished my Heeley "Menthe Fraiche" sample, I was looking for something similar. The Heeley had something in the base that felt too simple in tone for me. The green tea and cedar distracted too much from my favorite mint and made the already brilliant "Menthe" less "Fresh" and rather dull. That's certainly a matter of taste, but it bothered me.

In "Play Green," the Abelmoschus is a mallow plant. The so-called musk mallow or Indian hibiscus. So nothing animalistic, but floral. It can also be used according to herbal directories as tea, flavoring in tobacco, or as an aphrodisiac.
Regarding the tea, the gentlemen Heeley and Maisondieu probably had a similar intention when creating their perfume. Here, however, the cedar is slightly overshadowed by the fruitiness of a vetiver grass.
The mastic shrub provides, in addition to a type of pistachio, a resin with essential oils. This is also mixed into lemonade, chewing gum, or toothpaste, among many other things. ;-))

And this is exactly where "Play Green" has the nose, quite literally, in front.
To be honest, the two fragrances are quite similar. For me, however, the base in the drydown makes the essential difference. Overall, I find "Play Green" to be a bit - yes, livelier, more floral, with a hint of fruitiness in the "green play." But everyone has to decide that for themselves.

The interplay of the top note is beyond any suspicion and simply wonderful. Here, the juniper berry plays the unmistakable charm of the cypress plants and gives this subtly, through the lime fruity peppermint scent its green idea to take along.
And just to mention in passing; when considering the ingredients of this perfume on their own, they are indeed beneficial to health. I think that should not go unmentioned, as it is not always a given in the world of perfumes.

Unusually Beautiful Mint
I am quite astonished! I have only known such a beautiful green mint with so much real leaf aroma from Heeley. "Play Green" brilliantly showcases the entire vital power of this wonderful plant without overdoing it. The underlying green makes the lively freshness beautifully shaded and refreshing. Pairing citrus notes with mint is always a good idea, but here it is implemented particularly carefully and cleverly, as the lime can connect excellently with its strongest characteristics, a certain sour sharpness and a distinctly juicy twist, to the leafy mint. It is a lovely duet, and the juniper seems to enrich the whole thing with a bit of a foresty touch.
The continuation is also effortlessly achieved by the perfumer. The freshness becomes more grounded, settling in a beautiful dusky tone close to the skin and developing soft nuances. Here I am once again amazed at how jasmine can apparently help green and herbal notes to be enduring by making them gentle and clingy, without becoming recognizable itself. If the nice company ALZD hadn't included this sample as a suggestion for an order, I would have never purchased it myself, because jasmine is listed in the pyramid. But as I have already learned with "Un Parfum de Charmes Et Feuilles" from The Different Company, there can be, in very rare cases, floral elements in perfumes that act as quiet intermediaries rather than romanticizing everything. However, I think that only a few great perfumers can achieve this. The base is a consistent rounding off of the story. It forms exactly the mild, stable foundation that such a creation needs to avoid fluttering away too quickly.
"Play Green" is of a puristic, transparently woven nature and extremely beautiful in all phases of its development. I wish for this fragrance that not too many people find it too simple and appreciate what it has to offer!

Homage to Wrigley's Spearmint
It took me a long time to come to terms with the idiosyncrasies of Comme des Garcons, but I now confess to being an absolute fan of this label. While I would only want to wear the fashion to a limited extent, the fragrances, with a few exceptions (Odeur53+71 + Wonderwood), are absolutely my treasure trove! :-)

Now to Green Play, the green-fresh little water from the Play family. My first thought after spraying it was....Wrigley's Spearmint Concentré... Wonderful this mint note, slightly sweet, but refreshing, yes, you get the impression it has a cooling effect like an aftershave. Harmonious citrus nuances with subtly bitter juniper... Great!

After the fresh kick of the mint has settled, Play Green reminds me a bit of a strong gin and tonic, vetiver and cedar give it an elegantly masculine note as it develops further. Nevertheless, I would also definitely recommend Green Play to the ladies of creation, as the barely perceptible musk accents give it a sensually soft final chord.

In short, Green Play is a lovely summer fragrance for all those who want to escape a bit from the summer citrus dominance. Highly recommended! :-)

Essential Green
Play Green starts off fresh and minty - sour, but also aromatic fruity - woody.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our Parfumo "Zirkeltanz" for the sample.

At first, one can perceive a gentle, yet pleasantly fresh, slightly cooling Nanaminze, which appears not substantial, but rather lightly minty, evoking the association of a Wrigley's Spearmint gum.

At the same time, there is an intense sour nuance that, in my opinion, harmonizes really well with the mint and provides a refreshing effect, stemming from the lime.

In the background, there is a fine, aromatic, slightly fruity - woody note that is responsible for giving the top note a nice tangibility and comes from the juniper berry.

This constellation is noticeable on my skin for 15 minutes before the heart note unfolds.

Now a subtly sweet and also herbal note can be perceived, which gives the heart note a pleasant green Mediterranean aura and comes from the basil.

One can also detect something very pleasantly resinous - woody that brings a certain ethereal aura and originates from the mastic resin.

In the background, there is a fine floral and very subtly sweet nuance that adds a brightening quality to the fragrance and is thanks to the jasmine.

The heart note is perceptible on my skin for 3 hours before the base asserts itself.

Now a very clear and also pure note can be perceived, which gives the base a clean, slightly sweet quality and comes from the musk.

There is also a very fine, subtly bitter - earthy note present, which provides a certain depth and is due to the vetiver.

In the background, the base envelops something very delicately - woody, which gives the base something very pleasant and comes from the cedarwood.

Overall, the fragrance lasts 6 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed from the beginning so that one is only perceived at a quarter arm's length, and this is maintained for 2.5 hours before it gradually diminishes until the fragrance finally fades completely.

Initially fresh, sweeter, spicier, and unobtrusive companion towards the end
Let’s get started. Pffffff. Hmm, the top note is really fresh. The mint dominates the first 15 minutes before it slowly runs out of steam and takes a back seat. The scent then becomes a bit sweeter, with the lime now taking center stage. A woody, spicy undertone now complements the lime. A beautiful bouquet. Not boring, and the transformation during the dry down is also noteworthy. A great fragrance for spring/summer. The sillage is average. You won’t stand out much with this scent. It is unobtrusive and very subtle. Not a troublemaker. The longevity is mediocre at 5-6 hours (after 3 hours it’s mostly only perceptible up close).
Nice, I like it. Mine for spring/summer 2019.

Spicy spearmint supported by lime, vetiver and juniper berries for extra brightness and sparkle. Sharp, green, a bit synthetic and soapy.

A mint fragrance with bitter lemon, I can't think of much more to say. Unisex, pleasant, unagitated, always works and doesn't bother anyone

It’s like something in the background of a day spa. Inoffensive.

A surprising masterwork of minty-soap goodness. Green, but not astringent. Clean, but not metallic. Low sillage, but who cares? I'm in love.

Crisp green mint freshness with lime and plenty of green accents. The typical CdG synthetic is unmistakable.

A summer day. The lawn is freshly mowed, the mint for the mojito is freshly crushed. Life feels easy.
