Comme des Garçons Blue Encens is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Irina Burlakova. Comme des Garçons's Blue Encens carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's divisive. Some rave about its unique icy-hot spice, while others can't get past its moderate performance and a fleeting metallic note. It's a proper CdG 'love it or hate it' affair.

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.

About

Blue Encens opens with an immediate jolt of black pepper and vibrant cardamom, creating a surprisingly cool and almost metallic spice-bomb. This sharp opening gradually mellows into a warm, smoky incense heart, underpinned by a subtle current of cinnamon and the green, herbaceous touch of artemisia. Crystal amber lends a smooth, comforting base, ensuring a sophisticated balance between fiery spice and serene, smoky depth.
