Not floral; this is a very green (mossy-grass) fragrance with very toned down citrus (bitter orange) as a top note only; sometimes peppery under current. Nose website scent profiling recommended this perfume when I wrote down Bulgari’s Au the Rouge as my fave (played around with it with different tea type peppery perfumes) and this one was the only perfume of the 5 that seems to have all the ingredients I like. However, my excitement was met with major, major disappointment. This is a GREEN (grass-mossy) type scent..couldn’t pass as citrusy and couldn’t pass as peppery either. I was told it is a light scent soft scent by my boyfriend (prefers it over flowery Good Girl Gone Bad perfume which he called “strong” – he probably meant sillage) but I hate the smell. Makes me feel “dizzy” from smelling it.

Light and fresh, just a little bit different than mainstream mass-market scents. More than anything Dot reminds me of those little sweet-tart candies, though this is not a candy scent. It’s a little tart and a little, just a little sweet floral. It is fresh, a tiny bit green. It’s fruity, but not tropical or candy fruity. Not much projection, and so this is an intimate scent. Leaning in for an embrace, it would be a light, pleasant scent.
Dot would be appealing to someone who doesn’t like “perfume-y” scents or florals or obviously “feminine” scents. It is almost genderless, but the light sweetness tends to go a little bit feminine in my view. I think this would be a good scent for a young person, even a teenager, who is new to fragrance and has an individualist personality. IMO, it would make a nice gift. Dot would also work for any age that wants an understated scent that they wear but which does not wear them. Great for offices or other places where louder fragrances would not be welcome.

What is this?
Ok, at Commes Des Garçons they’re not just responsible for daring and artsy stuff, they also provided us with a plethora of easy to like / pop fragrances that have often set the bar for other mainstream brands to follow. Well, Dot doesn’t belong in either of these cathegories. Nothing to do with the avant facets of, say, EDP 2011 (the one in the same melted bottle as Dot) or the plush florals of Luxe Champaca. Nothing to do with the abstractness of the original Stephen Jones. Nothing to do with the daring approach of Guerrilla 1. Dot is a complete failure. A disappointment.
A totally uninspired fruity floral with just a tinge of that metallic-incense base that’s typical of several CDGs. Not enough character to stand out amongst the most daring deliveries from the house, not good enough to become one of those minor CDGs that while not shining for originality, they still can do the trick as safe-but-solid fragrances.
Too bad because the bottle is cute.
Rating: 5/10

Opens up with uplifting citric and hint of “floralcy” notes, no idea what happens after that because all I can smell is the same metallic “biting tinfoil” note that ruined Wisteria Hysteria from me. Moderate sillage but very good longevity.

Completely generic non descript floral which you would find in any lower priced celebrity fragrance.
As per the norm with CdG,longevity and sillage are below par.
Spend your perfume dollars elsewhere I say.
Pass.

Comme des Garçons Dot is a kind of D&G Light Blue in a fancy bottle available in niche stores!

I have to be firm and say I don’t like this, nothing especially wrong with it but I see Comme des Garcon as futuristic, quirky scent trailblazers. Dot seems to have all the quirk but is seriously lacking in the usual innovative substance. I genuinely don’t like everything from CdG nor do I think they are consistently good performers in strength or longevity but what I loved about them was their individuality and this just seems a bit of a half arsed effort.
Seems sad that I would get so serious about such a lightweight of a fragrance, Dot is a flouncy fruity floral that isn’t quite sure what fruits or flowers it is derived from?
The shapeless, blobby bottle is about as about as focused and refined as the perfume inside. More feminine than anything and I’m sure ladies out there could find similar perfume aimed at young teens or celebrity fodder.
I’m only disappointed and gave it a Dislike because it’s CdG and I (perhaps unfairly?) expect more from them. Otherwise the smell is ‘blah’ and it doesn’t last very long…that’s all I can tell you.

I expected a higher emanation of glue. CDG disappointed me very much.

What is happening with Comme des Garçons Parfums or what is happening with Comme des Garçons Parfums Parfums ? In the ongoing extinction of many of the houses one-of-a-kind releases, think of Series 6 Synthetic, the majority of Series 1 Leaves, Series 2 Red, the 2011 release of the ‘new’ Eau de Parfum in the deformed bottle was – together with Black – one of the few highlights in the sea of their ‘pretty good but not brilliant’ Puig produced releases. Dot is using the deformed bottle, but it’s saddening to experience a floral airport scent, not totally committing to a solifleur osmanthus trip and being miles away from the uniqueness the original deformed bottle symbolised.

in the continuity of Dover Street Market and Serpentine, an ethereal green style with here an accentuation on a flower ,but don’t try to recognize an osmanthus, it’s a conceptual flower 😉

A very palatable release from CDG opening with a minute’s blast of generic perfume counter young floral but it gains some grace from that point on.
The osmanthus is understated, not too fruity sweet like the actual flower. Its slightly green, slightly citric, a little woody ambery…. It fails to evoke the romantic image painted in the description but it’s a nice attempt at accessible but well put together.
The paper strips i sprayed this in could easily be confused with other young florals like the eponymous Eclat d’Arpege and it will surely share this market.
