Black

by Guillaume Flavigny

Comme des Garçons Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Guillaume Flavigny. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Incense, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Pepperwood™, Leather, Licorice, and Birch, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Cedar.

Our verdict on Black: Acquired

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.

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.

About

Imagine a rich, dark tapestry woven from burning timbers and sharp black pepper. Frankincense and olibanum resin swirl into a smoky, almost tar-like embrace, deepened by the dry, leathery kick of birch and a subtle, intriguing hint of liquorice. The base grounds this ethereal experience with earthy vetiver and dry cedar, leaving a long-lasting, mysterious trail.
