Eau de Toilette
Olfactory Library
Series 1: Leaves
The concept for the original CDG Series 1: Leaves, was “The Seven Sensations”: Light, Sight, Touch, Air, Smell, Emotion and Memory. A range of five new Eau de Toilette embodying the brand’s constant research in the realm of olfactory sensations based on the idea of green.
Calamus is a reed plant in the marshes, green and fresh, blowing in the wind, epitomized by the young bamboo leaf and the celery grains. Verdant pastures in a modern world.
“beautiful lush greenness opening, bright and sparkling... seductive with its red nuances and facets [...] The scent settles once the smell of the celery seeds take on a greater role, the greenness turns more ‘vegetable’, wilted, a bit dry-hay-like, turning to a more mature and darker vibe. [...] A memorable avant-garde green profile!”
