My favorite house! It’s Rei Kawakubo, not buko, who’s a legend in fashion. And yes, it’s ‘like the boys’ which is loosely based on a song Rei liked at the time.
Love that the Dalia colabs are back ,she has a unique take on fragrances that always seem to make sense and she won’t be swayed by anything lol she also brings out the best in you Seb your on top of your game when she does the colab vids, cause that’s what good friends do ,bring out the best in us .wonderful video guys let’s not shy away from some more gems like this ✌️🙏
This is what I was waiting for! I’m a freak for cdg clothes and perfumes since the 90’s so freaking niche, own almost all the fragrances ! I love Rei Kawakubo she’s my muse ! 🖤
Yay so nice to see Dalya again! I never miss an episode with Dalya or Dana in it. I’ve been curious about Daphne by CDG, a collaboration with Daphne Guinness that was discontinued but rereleased recently. Have you tried it?
This was a fantastic video! I appreciated the wide range of CDG fragrances described and hearing descriptions from both of you was really wonderful... Sometimes it is tricky to understand how something might smell by simply reading the note breakdown and, sadly, it is tricky to smell these in real life, so it is helpful to hear your descriptions. Really great work!
Black is so underrated. It's a gothic masterpiece to me, and is up there with any of my Amouage scents and sits comfortably with something like Black Afgano. Totally different scents but same super bold segment
I did have a giggle about missing the whole point of Serpentine, which is referencing a wandering through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park...the Serpentine being the name of the lake. Clever Rei! But glad you both loved 2 have loved that fragrance for twenty years and that underlying ink accord really intrigues most bystanders it smells like nothing else.
Yay 😀 Dalia is back . Well done Sebastian. Next video should be beast mode sillage , projection or long lasting , but updated , if there is something new and nuclear ☢️.
In Italy, 'Marseille soap' is known simply as a generic type of soap, it doesn't necessarily come from the city itself and it's the opposite of expensive and luxurious, it's sold in supermarkets and used traditionally to clean around the house (laundry etc), more than as a fancy personal hygiene product. Long winded premise to say that when I randomly smelled this perfume at Dover Street Market the other day I was brought back instantly to beautiful childhood memories at home with my mum. I have never purchased a fragrance so quickly. I loved it instantly. Found this video while searching more information about this fragrance. Pleased to know you love it too. Great video!
So I've seen Dahlia on before, but have never been sure about who you are to each other. Are you married, friends or do you know each other through UA-cam? Anyway, I always enjoy these videos!
I am so glad you did this series. I first got into this fragrance obsession from the Black Pepper bottle (that I was surprised/not surprised to see did not make it on this list!). As long as I have been watching this channel I’ve always been curious why CDG fragrances took a backseat to other makers, and this was such a nice surprise in my day. I have been turned on to so many other gems I was unfamiliar with. Thanks for making my weekend !
Dalya!!! I was wondering why the absence and here she is. I've never smelled anything by CDG but they all seem so interesting. I'm most definitely a fan of CDG fashion just like V. Westwood, Helmut Lang, Yohji Yamamoto, Haider Ackermann, etc. I'm not sure if they all have fragrances but I'll look into it. I don't think Haider does.
Need to try many of the brand, never smelled one. But 2, INCENSE AVIGNON and Copper would be the ones I'm more interested in. Good to see you guys, as always a pleasure!!!
The Black Dalya is back!! Love your synergy together, from the sandalwood video and now this. One thing though was that there was NO mention of Floriental by Comme Des Garçons.
Standard and Soda I want! And the way you concluded your quick initial description of soda with "Soda" while holding it up for us to see is BEYOND adorable Sebastian ☺️☺️ I can just tell it would be a pleasure to be in your company. You have one of the most magnetic personalities ever 🥰
The Standard scent is in collaboration with the danish wood furniture company ARTEK which logo is also on the bottle. The scent is meant to smell of pencil and wood shavings from a carpentry shop.
I loved, loved, loved this video and you and Dalya interacting is double the fun! I have quite a lot of Comme des Garcons perfumes but your video gave me insight on some others (as if I need even one more perfume, but of course I do and always will!
❤ my CDG frags....unique creativity by many great perfumers. One of my favs is 8 88. It would be cool if Copper would turn green after a few years. Hey Dalya.
Guys, I think that Serpentine's "Park in the city" feel reflects that it could have been inspired by Serpentine Gallery that lies in the middle of Hyde Park in London.
Great video Sebastian. I need to sample that Marseille which you been mentioning quite a bit lately. But from this brand I love Celluloid Galbanum and Dot. Both very original scents to me.
Hi! You were close Dalya: "comme des garçons" means "like boys" not "like the boys"...😉 Always great videos, good job Sebastian! 😀 Greetings from Portugal
I have to confess I have only ever tried (and owned avignon) from this brand. I have it on authority that the Batman would never be caught wearing a fragrance as it would hinder his ability to sneak up on his prey undetected, but if he were to indulge it would most likely be Zoologist's Bat fragrance, as that does a pretty good job of reflecting how someone might smell if they were spending their off hours skulking about in a dank moldy cave. Now Bruce Wayne is another story all together. Just joking go ahead and have fun imagining. That is one movie I do want to see in the near future. Thanks guys.
@@ThePerfumeGuy I really liked the trilogy with Christian Bale and their assortment of criminals. I preferred the darker Batman complete with the growly voice that some mocked. Only thing is now I can't seem to view the original series without thinking of it in a buffoonish light. But I loved it as a kid and even the original Batmobile. A couple friends of mine dressed up as Batman and Robin and had their pictures taken in it some years back when the original Batmobile (or duplicate) came to a local bar in my home town. Joaquin Phoenix was pretty good too in his portrayal of the Joker in the movie Joker. Was hoping at some point to see him reprise his role in some later Batman movie. Have fun!
The old Bat which is now renamed Night Flyer by Olympic Orchids. She is the original perfume. It’s an earth and banana scent- I do own it and I shall wear it soon:-)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Yes! ZGO used to carry them, not sure if they still do. Scent Bar still has the 1994 fragrance in store. Sadly the 2011 fragrance seems to have been relegated to online only - not surprising given its notes of Industrial tape and Glue! but it’s a majestic floral and an odd beauty. highly highly recommend both
Rouge is the first thing you turned me on to, and I smell it exactly like you, Sebastian. Maybe the male nose works different from the female one? Just like you, the beet "yells" immediately but in the most beautiful way, then I start catching the nuances of incense and geranium. Very rarely I vaguely pick up mint. We seem to smell it exactly the opposite to the way Dahlia does. How interesting.
No, correction, first thing you turned me on to was Jovoy La Liturgie des Heures. Rouge was second, but the first I bought in person, immediately, in Ukraine. I had to wait till I got back to the States to find La Liturgie waiting for me at home.
If it's available in your country, the iris body powder from Goya (at Checkers in South Africa) smells like a femme version of Comme des Garcons 2 Man (not the Man 2 mentioned in this video). If you can't get enough iris in your fragrance, you might want to get your nose on a sample of 2 Man or dust a bit of the powder on before you apply another fragrance.
Considering the fact that perfume is not very popular in Japanese culture, it way explain why these fragrance are unconventional and often mixed with unexpected notes.
@19:00 Monocle has amazing coffee tabel books. For example "The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes". So i think its a collabo between Monocle and Comme des Garcons. I likeeeyyyy :)
CDG Black and Black Pepper are my absolute favourites! There seemed to be quiet some hype around CDG around a decade ago. Any idea about their current popularity/'relevance'?
A Dior commercial came up with Robert Pattinson right before you said that Black was a fragrance Batman would wear. Just saw the movie yesterday.😀 But what perfume would Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman wear?
Great video you two!! Being a Beast mode and sillage Monster, I didn't notice this being mentioned. I did read one bottle which said Eau de Toilette, one step down from Eau de Parfum. Would some carry the wallop I crave and longevity? Thanks for any suggestions 🤗
I have never heard of the mixed up soda being called a witches brew. I always heard it being called a suicyde. Anyways I’m gonna start calling it witches brew now 😆

My favorite house! It’s Rei Kawakubo, not buko, who’s a legend in fashion. And yes, it’s ‘like the boys’ which is loosely based on a song Rei liked at the time.
I vote for more Dalya episodes!

Dalia's make-up is so good. She looks even more stunning 😍
Yay Dalya's back. There are so many Comme des Garcons scents I'd love to try, but they are not distributed widely up here in Canada.
This is what I was waiting for! I’m a freak for cdg clothes and perfumes since the 90’s so freaking niche, own almost all the fragrances ! I love Rei Kawakubo she’s my muse ! 🖤

it’s a BEAST but incredible! it’s like every note is turned up to the max. not for the faint of heart
Oh thank you! Not sure I’m into beast mode 😂

I just picked up a bottle of Black, and fell in love. Very much in love with Avignon too.
So excited to watch...Dalya is back 😁
Yaaay the dream team ✨
Nice to see Sebastian and Dalya reviewing 👍👍👍
Speaking of fresh cut grass, remember when The Gap had fragrances? "Grass" was one of my favorites. Pretty realistic. Dream was another good one
Oh yes of course. I remember those quite a bit! :)
I remember Dream!! I used to wear it all the time. Reminds me of Aqua Universalis from Kurkjian.
Making my Saturday afternoon! 😊
Black is so underrated. It's a gothic masterpiece to me, and is up there with any of my Amouage scents and sits comfortably with something like Black Afgano. Totally different scents but same super bold segment
Heck yes!! That Black is amazing!!
I need to try this. Need something to wear while I listen to Siouxsie.
What’s the lip @Dahlia? Looks so good on you.
thanks Britt! it's called Washington by Elizabeth Street cosmetics :)
I did have a giggle about missing the whole point of Serpentine, which is referencing a wandering through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park...the Serpentine being the name of the lake. Clever Rei!
But glad you both loved 2 have loved that fragrance for twenty years and that underlying ink accord really intrigues most bystanders it smells like nothing else.
that is excellent insight! thank you!
Thanks! Was hoping one day there'd be a Comes Des Garcons survey. And, Dalya is back!
Yay 😀 Dalia is back . Well done Sebastian.
Next video should be beast mode sillage , projection or long lasting , but updated , if there is something new and nuclear ☢️.
One of your fans ask you yesterday about this video.
I think he is a lucky person
Really? Did I miss this comment?
It's nice to see Dahlia again
This is one of my favorite videos you posted!! Can’t wait to buy one of these! Seems like you guys had a lot of fun filming!! So cool!!
Yay, Dalya! I feel some semblance of normalcy watching this. Thank you for this enjoyable video.

Black is the best
Dahlia looks amazing and I always love her when she joins you. She looks thinner in the face and more youthful. Thanks for a great video!
Yes! Welcome back D!
🙌🏼
Yes indeed, Comme des garçons means Like boys. Bonjour a vous deux from Montreal! You make a fabulous duo!

You guys are going to bankrupt me! I want to try all of these now!
Welcome back Dalia and great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to check out this house and y'all have a blessed night
Aw Sebastian is so cute and playful in this video, I love it, normally he is just so serious and hard faced in most of his videos.
Calamus is my favorite from this, so happy to see it on your list. It was my second "fancy" perfume purchase, after tea for two.
Always great to see Dalya! Amazing energy and you two work very well together! Great video!
I loved, loved, loved this video and you and Dalya interacting is double the fun!
I have quite a lot of Comme des Garcons perfumes but your video gave me insight on some others (as if I need even one more perfume, but of course I do and always will!
There's just something so warm and soothing and comforting about Dalya's voice, much like her favorite note, incense ❤️
❤ my CDG frags....unique creativity by many great perfumers. One of my favs is 8 88. It would be cool if Copper would turn green after a few years. Hey Dalya.
Hello!
I love this house. They are certainly different from other designers. My favorite is Copper and Rouge. Thanks to you I learned from your channel.
Awesome!!
Thanks Sebastian and Dalia., like seeing new fragrances for me, I like Sweet & OUD gourmands 3-7-2022👍🏽
Omg Hi Dahlia 🤗
You have to review Wonderwood. That’s one of my FAVS from CDG. So good especially in colder weather 😩😩😩
Ooh!!
@@ThePerfumeGuy What do you think of Monocle Sugi?
Comme des Garçons Parfum joins forces with the Finnish modernist furniture company Artek(founded by architect Alvar Aalto) to craft Standard perfume.
Oh cool good to know, thank you.
Thanks for the info. I'm interested in anything Finnish related :)
Welcome back Dalya.Good to see the two of you together again and not the Zoom/Skype B.S.
LOL! Yes I know that annoying ZOOM crap. Thankfully we are almost done with the ZOOM days. I hope! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy,couldn't agree more.
Dalia’s back baby
WOW thanks a lot sir!! I was waiting for this video SOOO long. You're absolutely my favorite perfumer!
😀
My favorite CDG types are Avignon and Blackpepper.
Blackpepper is stronger than Montale Full Incense. And that's saying something.
Yay finally Dahlia is back!
Guys, I think that Serpentine's "Park in the city" feel reflects that it could have been inspired by Serpentine Gallery that lies in the middle of Hyde Park in London.
Blackpepper is my favorite (near) photorealistic fragrance. Just wish it wore longer.
Very good video as per the usual. Been meaning to get into this house! Thank you :)
Charming duo, thanks for the good vibes and expertise! And yes, Copper really IS Iris Malikhan, glad I found someone with the same opinion ;-)
Palisander is super duper fabulous; I wear it 2-3 times a week. Totally yummy, much like Dahlia. 😍😍 Lookin good, gal !
I do own the Palisander as well. We left off quite a many of the CDG Fragrances otherwise this video would be 2 hours long! Ha! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Gotcha, no problem. The pine/cypress fragrance sounds great as well. This is a very eclectic fragrance house; I like them a lot.
You guys really cool! 😎 love the energy! And amazing reviews of the scents 👍🏼
I've been waiting for this one.
The wait is over!! thanks for stopping by!! 😀
Monocle is a magazine they collaborated with . Great review . Thanks
Great video Sebastian. I need to sample that Marseille which you been mentioning quite a bit lately. But from this brand I love Celluloid Galbanum and Dot. Both very original scents to me.
Oh yes I did a video on the 3 x Clash Series Fragrances which included the CG! :)
Hi! You were close Dalya: "comme des garçons" means "like boys" not "like the boys"...😉
Always great videos, good job Sebastian! 😀
Greetings from Portugal
aha! thank you!!
No place for Wonderwood or Wonderoud? No Amazingreen?? Floriental????
We have much different tastes I guess

@@sibyl999 Has it been reformulated? I honesty didn't detect banana in bat, if it was there.
Love this house! Had 2 (mirror finish) for years, love it so much 😍
Your laugh is adorable
So glad to see Dalya back!
the 1994 and 2011 CDG EDPs (two different fragrances) are also fantastic and severely under appreciated
I’ll have to get my nose on them!! 😀

First Comme des Garçons for me were Avignon and Wonderwood.
Excelent video!!! Great duo!!!
Avignon always reminds me of the Bryan Ferry song.

Comme de garcon 2 is by far the most popular one here in the middle east.
Love watching you two! Another fantastic video
Thanks so much!

Oh and guys, it’s not Kawabuko it’s KAWAKUBO!
CDG Black and Black Pepper are my absolute favourites!
There seemed to be quiet some hype around CDG around a decade ago. Any idea about their current popularity/'relevance'?
Not very hyped more of a cult following but they keep cranking out scents. Last year they did 4 or 5 new fragrances.
A Dior commercial came up with Robert Pattinson right before you said that Black was a fragrance Batman would wear. Just saw the movie yesterday.😀
But what perfume would Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman wear?
The house is pretty amazing for sure

These are not beast mode to me. They are a designer after all. Dalya might think otherwise! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy 😝😂
I know this video is over a year old but I need to say clarify it in case someone watches it and also gets it wrong: it's Rei KawaKUBO, not Kawabuko.
Very Nice Sabastian!
I have never heard of the mixed up soda being called a witches brew. I always heard it being called a suicyde. Anyways I’m gonna start calling it witches brew now 😆
Serpentine is named after the long lake in the center of Landon’s Hyde Park.
I’m back to watch this one a second time 😅
Thank you for this video!!! i miss Dahlia!!!
