I have owned Comete for almost a month and I find it a very suitable, work friendly scent. I have received many compliments from my male friends. Iris is my favorite note used in fragrance. I have mostly worn Comete during the day and 31 Rue Cambon in the evening. I haven’t reach for 1957 since I’ve own Comete 😮. I Love your use of the word “stardust”. I agree.

Good to know - thank you.

I actually got the opportunity to sample Comete by chance yesterday. Given the negative opinions I'd read, I found myself pleasantly surprised when I sprayed it. The almond (cherry blossom I am less sure of...) is very nicely done, if a little short lived, and the whole perfume flows beautifully. Funnily (in the context of your reviews), I also found it far more akin to Cuir de Russie than I did Le Lion to CdR. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's like a more modern/streamlined CdR to my nose! In that sense, I was very much impressed. The problem, however, is the price. The bubble has to burst at some point for all our sakes - the level of exploitation (and that *is* what Chanel's current pricing structure is) has gone through the roof. It's fundamentally damaging to society. In my view companies are creating artificial 'scarcity' through ridiculous prices whilst, at the same time, leaning heavily in to 'aspirational' marketing that encourages people to spend money they can't really afford to feel like they're a success. In days of yore, I suspect a luxury perfume would be released as 50ml, 30ml or even a 15ml so that it was at least somewhat available to all members of society.

I’m curious to test this. I have Boy and Beige which I like very much and they really last well. Misia was on my shopping list for my next purchase. I am very much a Chanel perfume customer. Crystal Verte is a favourite summer. fragrance and Allure Sensuellle steps up to the plate most other times although I'm not averse to Coco Noir either. I recently bought Baccarat Rouge and bitterly regret it. Stupidly I was in a hurry and instead of leaving it to decide after a few hours I bought it in haste. It now languishes in a cupboard still it's cellophane packet where I imagine it will stay gathering dust!

I just bought comete today to wear at my wedding next week. the word “stardust” made a positive effect on me when I was not so sure to choose it for the wedding♥️ would you please recommend a parfume for my boyfriend to wear at the wedding? couldn’t decide anything yet ^^ The wedding will be on the beach🌺
