Smells like Amazinggreen, general vegetal smell, barely any earthiness and therefore no beetroot. It's more like carrot soup. It's not bad but it's not interesting. I already have Amazinggreen (also very polite and almost bland) so I certainly don't need both.
CdG delivering their trademark modernity and incense laden vibes, laced with fresh ideas. The pink pepper and ginger of the opening give a sharp, piquant, almost tart, sweetness. The incense accord is both effervescent with olibanum and dense and grounded with labdanum. Then there's this evocation of beetroot, a kind of earthy thread throughout, probably created with careful dosing of cresols or geosmin, or a patchouli type material, fascinating effect. What I love is that it's not the easiest wear, it provides some resistance and even challenge at times, and despite being instantly gratifying to fans of this sort of perfumery, (which I really am) it still evolves throughout the wear. I felt it was a must have for me considering how much I love the brand and the idea of a beetroot accord.
Comme des Garcons Rouge is an odd and surprising scent, and at all not what I expected to smell from this glossy, cherry red popsicle of a bottle. It instead reminds me of an artwork by the fabulous, and flamboyant Argentinian painter, Leonor Fini In Les Sorcieres, we observe five frenzied witches swarming and swooping on their broomsticks through a swirling blood-red sky. This scent mirrors these feverish sensations of airy, dizzying fizziness and couples them with a terrestrial earthiness, like herbs and leaves and things freshly dug from a garden patch. Rouge smells like an effervescent shrub (the vinegary drink, not the bushy plant. But also minus most of the vinegar) of rhubarb and beet, fiery ginger root, and floral pink pepper. A witch's cauldron tipple that tapers to a beautiful gingery incense.
