Perfumer: Christina Astuguevieille.
Notes of lemon, labrador tea, twinflower, metal note, rust, fennel, watercress, ginger, saffron, dill, musk and cedarwood.
The unisex fragrance was created in line with Artek studio’s brief on combining synthetic and natural elements.
My first thought on smelling "Standard" was: a mix of "CDG Incense line" with "Hinoki" and then some deja vús of "2CDG Synthetic series".
"Standard" opens raw and sharp with lemon and a medicinal, herbal and metallic atmosphere with a smoky mostly incenseish tea plus a dry herbal finish that easily could remind you to a cammomile flower and pine scent.
The juice develops mostly clean raw woody with cedar while the watercress and the gorgeous twinflower notes melt into each other bringing a delicious green, clean, floral blast, that will play around in the whole life of the perfume.
At that stage it actually reminds me a lot to L'artisan's "Passage D'enfer", as both has similar incense-floral spirit.
I get some fennel and lovely ginger accent.
The dry down is soft and posses a smooth finish; a dry, slightly floral, slightly green-musky-velvety pleasant scent.
I like it very much. A lot.
Ideal for a quiet, calm day: you staring indoors through a window, coily, feeling nice and warm while the world goes by.
Again, CDG show us that It reamisn the King regarding a scent based in a fantastic balance between natural and artificial components.
Lasting power is reasonable, (no more than 5 hours) while it develops into a quiet skin fragrance.
