Comme des Garcons: Incense Series – Jaisalmer

Perfume: Jaisalmer
House: Comme des Garcons
Perfumer: Evelyne Boulanger
Source: Luckyscent
Size: 1mL

Notes: cardamom, incense, cinnamon, amber, benzoin, pimento, berries, guaiac wood (aka gaiac wood or saint wood), ebony

Date: 8/21/07 Weather: 75 degrees and rainy

Wearing: Starts with a strong turpentine note with some pine and cedar. In 5 minutes, becomes pine, cedar and mothballs. Then the pine and cedar disappears – leaving mothballs. 15 minutes in, cedar, amber and vanilla. After an hour – it becomes a light amber and vanilla.

Comments: A little congested when I tried this – but I got a very strong mothball note the first 20 minutes. I’d wait at least that long before going out in this. Much nicer on dry-down. Will need to try again.

Date: 9/13/07 Weather: N/A

Comments: More pine, cedar, woods and cardamom this wearing. Less mothballs. Died after 2 hours. Not unpleasant.

Retired 5/25/08 – Swap to TWolf
