How many greens can fit in a bottle? This edt amps nature with vibrant and herbaceous lentisk and basil, along with head-clearing spearmint and juniper. Lime and vetiver adds treble and bass. You can’t say “Play Green” without smiling.
Perfumer Antoine Maisondieu
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a close, easy presence rather than a room-filling entrance: fresh shirt collar, warm skin, and the sharp green lift of crushed herbs. It suits relaxed, daylight settings where brightness and ease matter more than polish.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, when its mint, basil and lime facets can stay crisp without turning thin. Apply lightly; it wears close to the skin with modest diffusion, so a few sprays are enough to keep the green, airy character clear.
Who it’s for
For people who like green aromatics with a clean, natural edge: herbal, citrusy, lightly woody and not overly sweet. It will appeal to wearers who prefer understated freshness with a slightly unconventional, modern feel.
Release year
2012
The nose
Antoine Maisondieu is known for polished, modern compositions that balance clarity with texture. His work often moves between airy freshness and a more tactile, natural feel, which suits Play Green’s vivid herbal-citrus profile. For Comme des Garçons PLAY Green, he shapes a green accord that reads as brisk and outdoorsy rather than abstract or perfumed, using mint, basil, juniper and vetiver to create a scent that feels immediate, wearable and lightly subversive in the CdG spirit.
Collaborators
Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garçons vision frames the fragrance as part of a broader anti-conventional perfume language, where abstraction and unisex wearability matter more than classical prettiness. The Play line’s graphic identity, built around Filip Pagowski’s red heart logo, gives the scent its casual, instantly recognisable character.
Comme Des Garcons’s story
Comme des Garçons approaches perfume as an idea rather than a formula, favoring abstraction, tension and unconventional materials over easy prettiness. The house’s fragrances often reject standard gender cues and familiar luxury polish in favor of something sharper, stranger and more conceptual.
Play Green’s concept
Play Green was launched in 2012 as part of the PLAY trio, alongside Red Play and Black Play. It extends the PLAY line’s graphic, accessible concept into scent, translating the collection’s casual visual language into a bright green aromatic composition built around herbs, citrus and woods.
Extra info
Play Green was one of three fragrances in the 2012 PLAY trio, all composed by Antoine Maisondieu. It is often noted for having the lightest sillage of the group, and for its vivid, sap-like green impression.
