I am in the mood for green today (please, please let winter end soon!), so I am wearing Comme des Garçons Calamus. Calamus is one of the fragrances in Series 1: Leaves, and was created by Bertrand Duchaufour. The notes are young bamboo leaf, celery grains, angelica root, and rose berries.
The top notes are earthy and slightly peppery from the celery seeds. The peppery notes fade gradually to a very green, slightly bitter smell of crushed leaves and stems. Farther on, it gets very soft and pretty, and takes on the slightly sweet smell of plant sap…
