Comme des Garcons Hinoki and Indult C16

Other than some continuing laryngitis - may I say that I really love the huskiness of my voice right now as long as I stay in the low registers, don’t try to raise my voice and squeak, which really spoils the sex kitten voice vibe I’d like to have - I’m …

Bullion or Bull? 8 88 of them…..

Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish the bullion from the bull. Gold has a way of masquerading into the most unexpected guises, while the reverse is also true.
Comme des Garcons 8 88 new fragrance was released for only one week (!) in London at the Burlington Arcade guerilla store. It won’t be available again until March 2008, but a generous and kind soul was able to get us a sample and Perfume

Review: Comme Des Garcons Luxe Patchouli and 888

I’m not feeling brilliant but I need to write a review - I’ve been dithering with other stuff here for way too long. But, given my febrile state, there’ll be no preamble (other than this, erm, meta-preamble), no discussion of CDG’s quirks and funny spots, no anecdotal asides. Well, that’s …

And now for Comme des

Seen and Smelled Around Here

I’m one of those who loved Black Orchid, Tom Ford’s first fragrance for women. It works amazingly well on me; I don’t get any of the infamous pineapple and crotch. Since it’s strong and has a marvelous sillage, I felt it was best to retire it for the s…

Perfume Review: Commes des Garcons Play

Review by Tom

Comme des Garcons is one of the more interesting houses out there, to say the least: they feature scents that run from entertainingly odd to just plain bizarre. I love them for that, just not necessarily enough to go for a full bottle. Play could be the one to change that: it’s perhaps the most accessible of anything they have yet put out, but still with that CdeG odd edge to it.
