One of the best CdG fragrances ever
I see many people influenced by the creatively listed ink note and scent description mentioning unusual things like Comme des Garcons do most of the time. But you won’t see same people going crazy under i.e. Calvin Klein - Truth for men, which is certainly a very similar fragrance to Odeur 71 and perhaps even inspired from.
The ink node is certainly a mix including Adoxal (a Givaudan product, an aldehyde, that is super strong, metallic, marine with cyclamen undertone). I get another another aldehyde, from aliphatic group (the ones known to be used in Chanel No.5) which is Aldehyde C12 MNA giving a peculiar plasticy, metallic, industrial backbone. Pear and galbanum top (Dynascone? Important in Aventus pineapple note too) with cinnamic & aromatic basil/bay or pimento leaf kind green herbs/leaves, you could pass this greenery as the “bamboo” note and with addition of aromatic leaves perhaps feels similar to aromatic notes a la Carolina Herrera - 212 for Men, Dior - Higher, Calvin Klein - Truth and even Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger. I think Odeur 71 is influenced by and influenced others. This smells like 2000s.
Under the aromatic layer we find CdG style musks, my bet is on Habanolide, and probably a good dose of Iso E Super for transparent cedar effect, with sandalwood, again a popular trend of 00s.
I suggest you try Calvin Klein - Truth in case you can’t find Odeur 71 easily or thought it's a bit tricky on the nose.
