Comme des Garçons 2013 EDT
Black
Comme des Garçons Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Guillaume Flavigny. Black opens with Pepper, Incense, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Pepper, Leather, Birch, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. Comme des Garçons's Black carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
Comme des Garçons Black is a powerfully atmospheric fragrance, divisive for its unapologetic gothic darkness, yet utterly compelling for those who dare. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser, but absolutely essential for lovers of deep, smoky incense.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
With strong projection and longevity, this intense, smoky scent isn't one for the office, risking being overwhelming. It excels in colder weather and is ideal for dates or formal evening events due to its sophisticated, mysterious character. It's too heavy for sport and too distinctive for everyday casual wear unless you're intentionally making a statement.
