CDG Series 8 Energy C

Comme des Garçons has issued an eighth series of fragrances to go with leaves, red, incense, cologne, sherbet, synthetic, and sweet - Energy C.  There are three scents in this series: Grapefruit, Lemon, and Lime, all EDTs, and all with the staying power of most citrus scents = nada.  

Grapefruit is citrussy, but doesn't smell particularly of grapefruit to my nose.  Likewise with lemon.  Lime is far more limey, and my favorite of the three.  Although the citrus notes fade away pretty quickly, there is a drydown and it does last a while, the first two leaving behind a woody vetiver quality, and the Lime being softer and more feminine.  But I can't say that the other two are really masculine - just not at all girly.  All are definitely unisex.  And all three are nice examples of the brisk, pick-me-up sort of summery scent.  But Lime's the best. :)

Lemon notes: bergamot, yellow lemon, citron, cardamom, angelica, incense, musk, vetiver
