It feels like it beautifully captures a lovely summer day. The blend is so well done that there’s none of that artificial or metallic edge you sometimes get with perfumes. It’s as if a fresh bay laurel tree has been bottled whole into a small flacon. I absolutely love it!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - Man i could die covered in these CDG Monocle scents, this is woods finessed to perfection. This one slightly reminds me of French Lover due to galbanum, but it moves on to something smoky, spicy and woody. I would even say this is better than French Lover, it has this beautiful smoke and incense that keep you on your toes, there is nothing wet here. This is magical.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eThis is a work of art, those who are levantine and come from Lebanon, syria and Palestine would immediately recognise this scent and appreciate it. This fragrance perfectly recreates the smell of local levantine soap which is made of laurel and olive oil, (Sabūn Baladi), Growing up always using this soap every time I take a bath I was surprised to see a fragrance that recreate the smell of this clean fresh after shower feeling. Love this, truly reminds me of home, however its much sharper and harsher, I wish they added some note that would break the sharpness in it and make it more \"soapy\" or soft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - Wow wow wow wow wow. I LOVE this!  This perfume has two sides. One is a bitter green bay leaf, slightly spicy pepper and a foresty woody foundation. On the other you have a fresh thyme and a blend of lemon with cedar that comes across as... mint?! Wow. People notice the heavier notes first so they're higher up in notes here on Fragrantica but hear this: this perfume is not heavily bitter or smokey -- it's very green and fresh. The great contrast between the heavy and light notes reminds the same dynamic you'd find in Desert Marocian. Perfectly balanced, contrasting and elevating each other higher. The bitter bay leaf gives this perfume a sophistication of sorts as well. It doesn't cater to you *too* much, but it's so incredibly easy to love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - Absolutely fantastic scent. The opening is a blast of black pepper, bay leaf and lemon and once it goes into the drydown, there is a woodsy, bay leaf and spice accord that just SCREAMS I am manly. Of all the highly rated scents I have recently tried, this one is the one that best suits my personality. Love it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comme des Garcons","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 ML - 1\/2 Filled Sample Vial","offer_id":46969047351457,"sku":"CdGLaurel-1\/2","price":3.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Sample Vial","offer_id":46969047384225,"sku":"CdGLaurel-1","price":7.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Spray in a 2 ML Glass Spray","offer_id":46969047416993,"sku":"CdGLaurel-1S","price":8.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46969047449761,"sku":"CdGLaurel-2","price":15.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46969047482529,"sku":"CdGLaurel-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46969047515297,"sku":"CdGLaurel-5S","price":39.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":46969047548065,"sku":"CdGLaurel-5R","price":39.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46969047580833,"sku":"CdGLaurel-8","price":61.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46969047613601,"sku":"CdGLaurel-15","price":115.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/CDGLaurel.png?v=1788545911","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/comme-des-garcons-monocle-scent-two-laurel-edt","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
