Very nice wet, dewy grassy note, though I feel like it's more more present smelling it up close nose to skin than in its projection. Further out, there is still a sense of green, but the aldehydes are more prominent. They smell a little violety, a little potpourri (but in a good way). I'm not sure I get straight up asphalt, but there is something a little sticky and tarry about it, again in a good way. I like this for sure, and it's a good value for the price (currently ~$100), even if it's not an essential addition to your fragrance wardrobe. 8/10.

This Fragrance does things for my mental state in the best way! It makes me happy & content. It feels so Green & Fresh but there is a certain accord giving it a bit of an edge. I Really love this! Longevity seems pretty good, sillage is not insane it doesn’t need to be though as it could possibly ruin the feeling Serpentine creates.

This was a blind buy. I thought I would like it base on the description since I tend to like green scents, but unfortunately, the scent is not for me. I find this quite similar to Issey Miyakes A Scent. I dislike both. Lol. I find both scents aggressive. Serpentine leans a bit feminine to my nose.

A modern abstract by the ever eclectic CDG House, this grassy woody synthetic beauty designed to accompany an art exhibit is only for adventurous modern perfume lovers. The notes are grass, green leaves, galbanum, iris leaf, aldehydes, asphalt, musk, nutmeg, labdanum, cedar, benzoin, juniper and guaiac wood and they create a nice green woody feel that evokes big spaces like open fields, large warehouses, modern skyscrapers, highways, very ultra modern and futuristic. As one reviewer correctly points out, nature meets metropolitan perhaps evoking the artistry it was designed to accompany.

Besides the wonderful dewy, bitter grass and leaves, this scent is primarily a rendition of a bar of Irish Springs soap. It gets too soapy for me. If you want the "Irish Springs" accord done exceptionally well, check out Profumum's Thundra, samples available on Luckyscent.

This is a perfume to be worn on a warm overcast summer day. It starts out with peppery bay-leaf/eucalyptus burst which quickly brings out an herbaceous cast of fern and moss quickly rounded out by a soft and sensual skin musk. The earthy asphalt accord is perfectly woven into the composition to counterbalance the ethereal musk. I adore this scent.

I was really hoping I'd like it, but unfortunately this is not for me. It opens very aggressively and astringent, which I like very much. Almost immediately, however, it dries down to clean, powdery and mostly musk. It was intriguing though, because it still had a faint hint of that lovely astringent scent. It does remind me of being outside, because it's a bit like a mosquito spray, but not in a bad way. Unfortunately, the loveliness that they hint at in this perfume is very overwhelmed by musk, and ultimately smells like a granny perfume.

Comme des Garçons Serpentine -Once again, Comme des Garçons exercises it's right to be different. Right off the bat, I knew this was a keeper. Serpentine opens with notes of dewy green grass, tons of musk and aldehydes. The asphalt is done right here and produces a flinty (almost peppery) edge which offsets the green preventing this fragrance from becoming lame and one dimensional. The iris smoothens out all of these mentioned notes and provides a bit of softness in the dry down. The back of the bottle reads "The Grass, The Trees, The Lake, And You"...Overall, I find the fragrance to be remarkable and very wearable. This fragrance successfully paints the picture of a green, ozonic, and urban environment.
