Comme des Garçons Avignon is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2002, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Avignon opens with Chamomile and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Cedar and Incense, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Vanilla, Castoreum, and Labdanum. Comme des Garçons's Avignon carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Avignon is a quintessential incense fragrance, enveloping its wearer in a liturgical aura that is both profound and meditative.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Avignon's pronounced incense and serious character are better for formal settings or introspective moments rather than everyday casual or sporty scenarios.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Comme des Garçons Avignon envelops you in ancient stone and reverent silence with its blend of dense frankincense and myrrh. Papery dry notes wisp into the air as the earthy reverence of oakmoss settles quietly. This aroma conjures solemnity and spirituality with every wear.
