Play Green joined the Comme des Garçons Parfums portfolio in 2012. A unisex fragrance belonging to the aromatic family. The fragrance was crafted by perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Christian Astuguevieille. By character, it falls into the citrus and aromatic groups. One of the scents from the Play collection. The fragrance concentration is eau de toilette.
The sillage is moderate — present, but never overpowering. In terms of longevity, it sits at moderate — long enough to make a real impression. The home of this fragrance is France. Play Green Comme des Garçons Parfums — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Play Green evolves as an expressive line of development, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Comme des Garçons Parfums is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Aromatic, Citrus, Fruit and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Balsamic and Wood. At family level the composition sits in Aromatic.
In the first seconds you sense sweet-fresh fruity opening notes: Juniper berries, Lime and Peppermint.
In the central layer you detect Basil, Jasmine and Mastic Tree keeping a noble herbal direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Wood without random overlap. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. For persistence Middle suggests confident staying power.
Overall Play Green reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
