Comme des Garçons Comme des Garcons is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994, created by Mark Buxton. Comme des Garcons opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, Geranium, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Pepper, Honey, and Labdanum. Comme des Garçons's Comme des Garcons carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Divisive yet iconic, this scent is a proper love-or-hate affair. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but then again, it's not trying to be. A bold, unapologetically spicy masterpiece for those who dare to be different.

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.

Its potent projection and unique, sometimes challenging, spicy and animalic accords make it too strong for most office environments. However, its bold and sensual character, coupled with its excellent longevity, makes it perfect for dates, formal events, and cooler casual outings where you want to make a statement.

About

An explosive opening of warm spices like nutmeg, clove, cardamom, and cinnamon hits you hard, reminiscent of an overflowing spice market. This fiery kick mellows into a heart of subtle rose, geranium, and cedar, offering a brief moment of aromatic calm before giving way to a deep, complex base. Here, labdanum, smoky incense, and warm honey intertwine with pepper and sandalwood, creating a rich, almost animalic sweetness that lingers on the skin.
