U ££ Statement

Comme des Garcons Series 6 Synthetic: Tar

Name: Comme des Garcons Series 6 Synthetic: Tar Eau de Toilette
Brand: Comme des Garçons

Comme des Garçons Comme des Garcons Series 6 Synthetic: Tar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Comme des Garçons's Comme des Garcons Series 6 Synthetic: Tar carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a wild, urban beast that divides opinion fiercely. It's either an artistic masterpiece of photorealistic tar and burnt rubber or a scrubber that leaves you smelling like a mechanic's shop. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but utterly addictive for those who get it.

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 moderate longevity and sillage mean it won't overwhelm, but the highly distinctive and industrial scent profile makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. It shines in casual, unconventional date scenarios or artistic gatherings where its unique character can be appreciated.

About

Opening with an unapologetic blast of industrial synthetics, this fragrance immediately evokes the searing heat of asphalt and the sharp tang of burnt rubber. Hints of bergamot cut through the initial shock, offering a brief, almost metallic freshness before the scent settles into a surprisingly nuanced blend of warm leather and resinous styrax. The dry down reveals a subtle floral undercurrent, softening the raw edges of vetiver and sandalwood, but the heart of urban grit remains.
