Scent of the Day: Comme des Garcons Series 5: Sherbet Rhubarb
I’ve had some major hits with other CdG Series: Scents, and I appreciate the effort and creativity even in the ones that I don’t totally love. That said, I’m on the fence about Sherbet Rhubarb. Part of me thinks it smells just like Stila’s Creme Bouquet. But the rest of me loves that scent too…and if you look at the notes and description it makes a lot of sense. From Luckyscent:
Rhubarb is the tart one in the Sherbet series, perfectly capturing the sourness of a rhubarb stalk with a tiny dash of sweet. A beautifully fresh, green stem scent runs throughout the evolution, and it dries down to a creamier version–like an icy rhubarb sorbet mixed with a non-sweet (or overtly feminine) vanilla. We pick up a bit of wood (wenge) in there, too. Completely unique and unisex (go on, show us someone you know who wears a rhubarb scent), the tart green of Rhubarb is a study in converting taste into an exhilarating and crisp bottled scent. Extremely addictive, you just may drool a little when you smell this.
bergamot, rhubarb, litchee (aka lychee), orchid sap, cognassier flower, vanilla cream, wenge
On the drydown it does differentiate a bit..I do smell the lychee and orchid sap notes somewhere in the middle. The Rhubarb is so omnipresent as to almost fade into the background unless you kind of ’sniff at the edges’ of the scent, and of course, there it is, green and tart! I really fancy this scent and consider it very close to Full Bottle Worthy! It’s also quite affordable - $40 for 30 ml at Luckyscent.
