Comme des Garçons Blackpepper is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Blackpepper opens with Cedar and Pepper, settles into a heart of Oud, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk. Comme des Garçons's Blackpepper carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive hit, Blackpepper by Comme des Garçons is a bold, almost photorealistic homage to its namesake. Expect to either adore its peppery punch and woody depth, or find it simply too much, becoming a love-it-or-hate-it statement rather than a people-pleaser.

Its moderate sillage and often short longevity prevent it from being overbearing for office wear if applied lightly, but its bold character makes it a standout for dates and formal events. While unique for casual outings, some find it too potent for everyday wear despite its skin scent drydown.

About

True to its name, Blackpepper opens with a sharp, exhilarating blast of freshly crushed peppercorns that grabs immediate attention. This spicy overture gradually softens, revealing a warm, woody heart of cedar and a hint of smoky oud. The drydown introduces a smooth character, with patchouli lending an earthy depth, rounding off the initial intensity into a contemplative, refined warmth.
