Amazingreen

Could be a decent green if it weren't for the uninvited throat-itching green pepper and a calone incident. Bad.

Not sure aput sillage, longevity as I only got a tiny bit and am careful with usage. I can say though that it’s beautiful and green, with a nice array f fresh plant smells and the flinty smoke note actually comes through and gives it a bit of structure. It’s not a bracing herbal green but more seeet and fresh like cut stems. The ivy note is especially accurate, in my gardening I can recognize that particular scent uncannily as cape ivy and I love it. Super tempted to buy a bottle so I’ll have to give it a proper and check the performance. A beauty

I usually expect CdG to be super challenging, but Amazingreen is surprisingly wearable. That green pepper and flint/gunpowder opening is brilliant-it smells literally like a damp jungle after a thunderstorm. So earthy and mineral. Unfortunately, longevity is a joke on my skin... maybe 3 hours tops before it completely vanishes. I still keep it in my summer rotation, but you definitely need an atomizer to reapply throughout the day

#150 of My Fragrance Journey - Comme des Garçons Amazingreen: The bell pepper fragrance nobody asked for and honestly, we needed it First spray and there's no mistaking it - green bell pepper, straight up. Crisp, a bit watery, that faint bitterness, like it's still got dew sitting on it somewhere. Not the usual "fresh" citrus thing everyone does. This is rawer than that. Crushed stems, actual leaves, something that smells alive rather than manufactured to smell alive, if that distinction makes sense. It hits like cold chlorophyll catching a bit of sun - that specific feeling of rain evaporating off warm skin early in the morning. There's something almost vital in it, like the first real day of spring after a long grey stretch, sun actually landing on your arms for once. Give it twenty minutes, and that sharp pepper note eases off, lets ivy leaves, coriander seed, and a creamy orris step in. This part rounds the edges without losing the plot entirely - orris adds a bit of weight to all that wet green, coriander keeps a dry, spicy edge running through it so it never turns powdery. Feels unforced, this transition. Like the fragrance is just doing what it wants rather than following a script. Dry down brings in this grey-green vetiver - not smoky, not earthy really, more just a faint green dryness sitting under a soft white musk that's been left out in the sun a while. Clean, understated, fades out quietly rather than making a thing of it. Notes list gunpowder, flint, smoke apparently, but I genuinely can't pick any of that out on my skin - if it's there, it's more texture than presence. Which, honestly, keeps the whole thing from turning theatrical. Stays green start to finish. Performance's where I have to be honest with you - it's a bit disappointing. That green bubble up front is lovely, properly vivid, but an hour in it's already pulled way back to skin. Longevity's fine, nothing special, and the sillage drops off much sooner than that opening promises. Bit of a letdown given how original the whole thing smells. Still - what it does well, it does really well. It commits to vegetal in a way most green fragrances don't, going straight for bell pepper and leaves and damp stems instead of the usual moss-and-pine shortcut everyone reaches for. Smells like a pepper that's actually been sitting in afternoon sun, genuinely alive in a way that's rare. Not the loudest thing you'll own, not the longest lasting either, but it blurs the line between perfume and actual garden closely enough that people have mistaken it for the real thing on me. Which says something, I think. Vibe: Crushed bell pepper. Cold rain lifting off warm skin. A garden just after the storm's passed. Performance: Vivid and green for the first hour, then it pulls in close to skin fast - moderate longevity, low sillage from there on out. Fit: Anyone who wants something genuinely different, not another safe green fragrance. Spring days, gardens, mornings you actually want to smell alive.

Smells like green peppers and some other plant notes that I can't quite pick out individually. (I have ivy growing in a pot in my kitchen & I went and sniffed it to check the smell....it does NOT have a smell.) There is also a slight spiciness that I guess is the coriander helping balance it out. something about this reminds me a bit of Nest Indigo. the green notes in this are very fresh/natural and reminiscent of a garden scene. Very poor/short-lived performance on me

You do get the bell pepper and palm tree notes in the top, maybe not the hazelnut however. Further down, you get a continued impression of this image from the ivy and coriander combination. The orris root gives a different twist, melding with a light handed musk+smoky vetiver. What I don’t really get a lot out of is the gunpowder here, which was the primary premise of me sampling this. It’s a really nice, unique green frag, but even though it doesn’t pique my interest, someone who is immersed in this genre might appreciate the uniqueness of this profile.

Kind of reminds me of beach hut man but lighter and more airy, less masculine but still leans that way. Nice cucumber/bell pepper/aloey slightly sweet smell that's fresh.

Comme des Garçons – Amazingreen Bu markayı gerçekten seviyorum. Sanatsal yaklaşımı, sıra dışı kompozisyonları ve deneysel tarafı her zaman ilgimi çekmiştir. Amazingreen’in notalarını ilk gördüğümde de aynı heyecanı yaşadım: sarmaşık, yeşil biber ve özellikle barut… Kağıt üzerinde oldukça karakterli, karanlık ve farklı bir deneyim vaat ediyordu. Fakat tenimde bambaşka bir tablo ortaya çıktı. Özellikle “barut” notasının neredeyse hiç hissedilmemesi büyük bir hayal kırıklığı oldu. Sanki sadece dikkat çekmek için yazılmış bir nota gibi duruyor. Beklediğim o metalik, yanık ve patlayıcı atmosfer yerine oldukça düz, yeşil ve içi boş bir karakter aldım. Sarmaşık ve yeşil biber akoru da düşündüğüm kadar yaratıcı işlenmemiş. Potansiyeli olan fikirlerin yüzeysel bırakıldığı hissini veriyor. Oysa Comme des Garçons gibi bir markadan çok daha cesur ve derinlikli bir yorum bekliyordum. Şu an bu parfüm bende, yazın ilk günlerinde hızlıca tüketip bitirmek isteyeceğim bir koku hissi uyandırıyor. Büyük beklentiyle yaklaşılmış ama karşılığında güçlü bir iz bırakamamış bir deneyim oldu benim için. Ne yazık ki tam anlamıyla bir hayal kırıklığı. . . . Comme des Garçons – Amazingreen I truly love this brand. Their artistic vision, experimental style, and unconventional structures have always impressed me. When I first looked at the notes of Amazingreen, I was genuinely excited: ivy, green pepper, and especially gunpowder. On paper, it sounded dark, edgy, and incredibly unique. But on my skin, the experience turned out completely different. The so-called “gunpowder” note is practically nonexistent. It honestly feels like it was mentioned only to make the fragrance sound more interesting. Instead of the metallic, burnt, explosive atmosphere I expected, I got a very flat and hollow green scent. Even the ivy and green pepper accord feels underdeveloped. The ideas behind the composition had great potential, but everything comes across as superficial and unfinished. From a house like Comme des Garçons, I expected something far more daring and atmospheric. At this point, this feels like the kind of fragrance I’ll try to finish quickly during the first days of summer just to empty the bottle. I approached it with huge expectations, but unfortunately it left almost no emotional impact on me. A real disappointment. 10/6.5

A dark green opening, reminiscent of a dense jungle. The combination of bell pepper, various leaves, spices, and smoke creates this green, aromatic, woody, watery, subtly sweet, and masculine scent that is both safe and universally appealing. Over time, the spiciness fades as a smooth, creamy musk takes over. The drydown brings a twist; lemongrass-like note appears, causing the perfume to paradoxically become lighter, fresher, and bright green. 7/10

Smells just like aftershave to me. Disappointing.

Green Bell Peper

rly rlly enjoyed this one !! im very into green scents and so this was rlly up my alley, easy pleaser foe green lovers and honestly kept getting whiffs of it throughout the day which was unexpected cuz its quite fresh and the projection of those are pretty short but this was quite long for me personally! the sillage might not be that strong but i would buy it

i love this scent so much that i barely notice how much the bottle sucks

I get zero deeper greens or bellpepper. I would actually not even classify this as a green scent if I smelled it blindly. It's a freshie for sure, but in a blue-adjacent lane than a green lane. Maybe it's because I like my greens more herbal, tree-sap (mastic etc), fig and the Vert de Bois / Vert d'encense style. Or maybe somene at ZGO got my sample mixed up.

It's various types of deep green that you could imagine—a bit forest-y, a bit fresh plants, a bit dill, etc etc. It has some musky hints, but I would say they're mainly to keep the green notes prominent and interesting. I couldn't smell much of smoke or gunpowder—rather overall feeling of sun-burned plant leaves and dark spices that remain in the air of your kitchen when you cook. It's okay for blind buying if you generally enjoy green scents. The longevity is acceptable, some notes would be too aggressive if they would stay longer. The perfume's juice is okay for light-coloured clothes.

Good scent but terrible and impractical bottle design

I expected to love this perfume. I love maison margiela " from the garden". I love the smell of tomato Leaf. I love incense. So I purchased a small sample size bottle of this fragrance expecting to love it.However the perfume was very different to expected. The opening notes to me, overwhelmingly were bell pepper and Ivy wirh a mild hint of coriander and cardomom . There was also a noticeable base note smoky and a burning smell. the dry down was to a sharp burning smell (flint?) and smoke. For me the closest I can describe this smell is if you spend a full day in your garden cutting plants, mowing the lawn , and then burning garden waste in a bonfire.Once dried down and faded, it smelled exactly like burning -acrid smoke. It is that precise smell that meant I hesitated to wear it in the office because I felt like people would assume I had spent a day in the garden cutting plants and burning a bonfire, and instead of feeling put together, I felt slightly dirty. Not in a good way, as though I had been gardening getting rid of garden waste and had not changed my clothes or bathed. There was certainly an exhilaration to smelling like that . you feel like you might have run through a jungle. But that does not translate to being suitable for most life experiences . I would not recommend it for office wear because it's smells like you have been gardening and haven't properly bathed. I would not recommend it for a date either for the same reasons. I don't think anyone would say this sent was attractive, but they would certainly find it edgy and interesting. Perhaps if you work in a creative environment, it's might be suitable for daytime where. Or possibly to go to the gym. However at that price point I don't think it would be a good gym fragrance. I wouldn't say I hate it, but I would say it is more of a duplicate of a naturally occurring smell of gardening and burning garden waste in a bonfire. Would I buy it? absolutely not, I'm very glad I was able to have a sample before I committed to a full-size expensive bottle, because I would have hated it. Not recommended except for wealthy people who want an exhilarating jungle like gym fragrance where they will end up stink anyway

This is sitting at my favorite fragrance ever at the moment. It's fresh, invigorating, vegetal, clean. For me it's the quintessential green fragrance. It has one of those scents that is hard to put into words. I get that there's vetiver there but it's just taken in a different direction than a lot of other vetiver scents I've tried that to me smell like old people's homes. The gunpowder/smoke notes somehow don't make this feel dirty or heavy but act almost like aromatic spices. Something that comes to mind are southeast Asian agar-based jellied coconut pandan treats. Something about the texture of those reminds me of the smell of this scent.

After using the entire 100ml bottle, here’s my take on this fragrance. In the end, it’s essentially a woody vetiver perfume. It opens with an avant-garde, edgy, green, off-the-grid energy—especially in the top notes. But after a few wears, you gradually realise it’s fundamentally a classic, vetiver-centric fragrance. In this review, I want to focus on its non-green side, since the green facets have already been well covered by others. When you wear it, you first get that characteristic green, edgy opening, and that’s likely to become your impression of the scent. And that impression isn’t wrong—it’s just incomplete. As I kept wearing it, what stood out to me was its solid core of soft, almost creamy vetiver. After 1–2 hours, the green top notes mostly fade, and the scent settles into a blend of orris root and vetiver. That, to me, is the quintessence of Amazingreen. It can be easy to miss—partly because of the concept, and partly because the opening is so dominant—but for me, the heart and base last long enough to deserve attention. The way the green notes resolve into a woody, creamy vetiver base gives the fragrance a quiet dignity. Around 2–3 hours in, it no longer has the sharp projection of the opening, but it still projects nicely and wears for a long time. At this stage, it smells like a classic vetiver fragrance, but with a lingering green freshness and a subtle mineral edge. It’s savoury, green, and gentle. This, to me, feels genuinely ‘amazing & green’ —and where it truly earns its name.

Whatever I expected from Amazingreen, falling in love immediately after first try wasn't it. Greenery this one portrays is of the softest kind. Plants wetted by summer rain, their big leaves covering the ground so it takes a while for rain to reach soil beneath. There's something sweet also, probably the flavourful bell pepper accompanied by hazelnut (gunpowder and smoke are very subtle but present in background). This ivy is what I wish the one in eau de Lierre by Diptyque was as that one gets too green and bitter for me, here it's balanced much better. I bought discovery set to get introduced to the brand and I'm liking everything so far (Amazingreen being at first place). Bottle design for this collection represents scents within so well you know what you're getting just by looking at them, not important but I appreciate when brands manage that. Amazingreen is like breath of fresh air or sip of cold water early in the morning, energising and calming at the same time. I would even consider getting a full bottle as I don't have anything like this in my collection yet.

Definitely smells like green pepper, which is unusual and fun. Especially, with the hazelnut combo. I get a bit of smokiness, it nicely complements the other notes and not super smokey like some other ones. Masculine-leaning, but can absolutely be worn by anyone. On me it is very weak and fades quickly, so it is more of a fun little thought that sometimes comes to mind ("I smell like peppers!") and does not provide much of an aura or mood-boost.

It’s definitely a harsher synthetic green scent. It is trying to imitate that tinge bell pepper has but amped up. Some metallic smoke note. Masculine leaning. It’s somehow weird but willing to conform to being appropriate to wear. I’m surprised this isn’t deemed a winter scent because it’s a heavier cdg imho that could benefit from the cold

an amazing perfume, cdg's perfumes are somehow very long lasting on my skin. the best part about amazingreen would be it goes great with layered scenting as the base scent. some favorite combos i've heard have been with yves rocher's comme un evidence, and joop! pour homme's aftershave. also goes great with leathers. it is a sulking and depressed scent that gives bad situationship but it is my daily driver and i adore it on clothes it stays quite long but not in a pleasant way especially after layering, so any cloth you sprayed has to be washed for me.

...Why is the picture of the bottle obviously AI/AI enhanced? There are already photos of the bottle, I don't understand the necessity and purpose of using a barely functional low-quality cheap tool when it comes to anything artistic.

this is a nice green mens fragrance! its unoffensive, and id totally be drawn to someone wearing this perfume out in public. its lovely and clean, almost soapy, but with an undertone of deep emerald foliage and thin smoke.

by far cdg’s most basic and boring offering, it smells like any fresh men’s fragrance you can find in a department store

jubilant fizzy pine green. robodrake in that sprite commercial. best I ever had

I get shower gel, of the blue variety. The opening is very invigorating but quickly starts to fade. Not sure if im going nose blind or its just that weak

Nice but I wouldn't spend more than $60-80 on it.

Green, aquatic, fresh, masculine-leaning, unisex scent. Very wearable for my skin and clothes, not as weird as I thought CDG would be. I definitely get the palm trees and green peppers at the opening. On my clothes, it appears to be more laundry-fresh and aquatic. I do get a little bit of the "fireworks" or "gun accord" but it is not smokey or heavy the way I thought. It adds a slight edge to the scent, very sexy.. I'd love to wear this sometime when I'm feeling tough and cool (as a woman) or give it to my fiance to wear.
