What do reviewers say about Comme des Garcons Series Luxe: Patchouli and Timbuktu?
Most patchoulis soften with age. This one holds its ground, earthy, smoky, with a fenugreek edge that stays for hours. It's CdG doing what CdG does best: refusing to be safe.Comme des Garcons Series Luxe: Patchouli
Timbuktu rewards patience. The mango opening is genuinely unusual for its time, and the incense-karo karounde heart requires an open mind, but the vetiver-benzoin drydown is pure class.Timbuktu
