This is innocence and class with shiny hair, a dusting of freckles, and a gorgeous white smile.
Clean, light bouquet, with a powdery softness. Longevity and sillage are good.
Very pretty and fresh.

The perfect spring fragrance to wear to your first garden club meeting of the year *♡♡♡*

I finally got to test this one (along with Daphne and GIRL) and must say that I didn’t expect this to be so green. On my skin the basil and mint are very pronounced and the rose takes almost an hour to show up. As always with this brand, very nicely done. The bottle is an elegant version of Purr and looks lovely. However, this rose is unfortunately not for me and Stella remains my No. 1 🙂
Try before you buy, definitely. This gem is very body chemistry dependent.

simple pretty rose bouquet smell! I love it.

This is a very refined soapy rose ;o) clean and wet, with a great fresh floral rose smell as if you just bought a rose bouquet and smell it. You know this kind of rose smell in flower stores.

I like the bottle, it’s a great cat lady perfume.
Just kidding, it’s a lovely fresh floral scent, that has rose, but is still light.
I can totally sense floral blossoms, it’s a spring time scent.
There’s also mint, freesia, lime and basil – all great fresh notes.
Very good!!

This is the effortless, elegant, and understated Grace Coddington that we love. I was expecting something very eccentric but I do envision Grace Coddington when I smell this. It’s very easy and comforting and modern. Just like snuggling up with your cat on a fluffy white minimal couch in a sunny apartment surrounded by things that you love.
I get bergamot at the beginning. It goes from a fresh bright rose to a comforting rose.

Definitely a green rose, with a cool demeanour and a slightly crispy powder tang. This reminds me so much of Floris Snow Rose, except that Snow Rose is even crisper and cooler. As I already own said Snow Rose I won’t be purchasing this, but if you don’t have anything in this genre and you appreciate simple but non-traditional rose it could be worth a test. I received two complements on it within an hour of testing it. The bottle is a little kitch and underwhelming, but the scent hints at a joyful spring. I’m glad I tested it.

I generally dislike rose notes in perfumery. Especially when they lean towards the watery side of the spectrum (eg Amouage Lyric Man which is possibly my biggest fragrance nemesis ever) so I really didn’t expect to like the new collaboration bewteen the iconic Grace Coddinngton and Comme Des Garçons. Well, as a matter of fact, Grace surprised me.
An extremely easy to like and very well refined modern rose with a fragile character. Pale, almost whispered but with enough personality to avoid falling into the “fragrance for people who actually don’t like fragrances” cathegory. Agrees with white linens, torrid summer nights and walking barefoot but with that certain crystal / plastic quality to keep it urban. There’s really not much else to say about Grace smell-wise as the frangrance feels really simple while completely avoiding feeling simplistic. I guess in this specific context we could easily refer to it as a succesful example of true minimalism.
It won’t probably make the best starting option for those who are not familiar with this seminal brand yet, but if you’re looking for something effortlessly elegant, Grace could really fit your bill.
As the Grace Coddington fragrance, I rank it very high. I believe it completely reflects her personality and style (they really nailed the brief here). As a Comme Des Garçons, I find it a minor release but surely one of their bests amongst their “easiest” launches. Definitely worth a shot. A few words of reference: Hermessence Rose Ikebana, Charenton Macerations Asphalt Rose, Comme Des Garçons 2.
Rating: 7/10

Sometimes, you just want a simple and pretty fragrance, and this is one of them. Grace opens with an herbaceous pink rose. I can smell the mint and basil in this, which makes it a bit more interesting than your standard pink rose. After a while, the herbs fade and you’re left with the rose and some musk. I’m not picking up on any “amber” here. The musk isn’t that strong, but the result is something that smells like expensive shampoo. It reminds me of Chloe, and although they aren’t identical, there’s enough similarity here that I might do a double take if I smelled this on someone. Unlike Chloe though, the shampoo-ish note doesn’t irritate me nearly as much. The pink rose is still largely predominant throughout its wear.

I would say the most important thing to consider when purchasing this perfume would be whether or not you prefer Rose and more specifically GREEN rose.
What I mean by Green Rose is not only do you get the flower itself but you also get the stem…you get the leaves…you get the thorns…you get the entirety of the plant itself and not just what many people would consider a “rose” scent which is a very deep, robust, sweet rose.
This is very fresh and very nice, all encompassing rose, but it is not a deep rose that maybe some people might mistake it to be and I yearn for. Regardless, my overall consensus is that I like it…but I am not in love with it. It does not stand out in comparison to other green rose scents and is quite a bit of a disappointment due to the high(er) price tag. I want the amber to come out, but it evades me. The musk is barely noticeable.
I was expecting something very avant garde and modern coming from such a creative genius as well as the house it was created for. I think my own assumptions got the best to be here. So do not expect it to be a different experience, but expect it to be a very straight forward, good green rose with a slight sweet slight amber dry down.
I spray it on my sheets at night.
Longevity: 6/10
Silage: 4/10
Dupes: Jo Malone Red Roses; Annick Goutal anything
Edit: Let me add I continually smell this perfume to make sure I have my review correct. But I also I have the urge to keep sniffing and sniffing . That alone tells me something. There is something about this perfume that I do like very much.
You either love rose, or you hate it.

The fragrance I purchased must have been switched at birth, either that or it’s a scent chameleon, judging from the description on this and other websites. It does have a sort of CdG vibe, but my immediate impression was that it strongly resembles L’Occitane Pamplemousse Rhubarbe–which has no listed notes in common with Grace. From the very first through drydown (and overnight until this morning), I get only a strong dry acidic fruit/minty herbal combo of equal measures. Nothing different in the top note nor no evolution throughout. 100% linear. Versus the sweet, pink roses that I am supposed to be experiencing. Not saying I don’t like it, just surprised. Shocked, really. May have to get a sample elsewhere for comparison.

I really love this. It’s another beautiful rose that I fell for right away…
It greets you with alot of green…generous doses of mint and basil and floral fresh freesia. After that is when it develops into a deep love for me. Mint and basil step aside to expose the most beautiful rose unfurling tinged with a bit of spice and a breath of mint….what a lovely composition! A little later woods and musk join the party and a wonderful touch of powder. This gives me the impression of being at a luxury spa full of misty pink roses surrounded by alot of greens and freshly cut mint leaves. A very whimsical rose scent that send me off to fairy dreams…I really love the rose/mint combination…beautiful

That lid is kind of horrifying-looking, and incongruous with the classic bottle.
