Comme des Garçons 2016 EDP
Blackpepper
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 woody-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.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 autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
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.
