Comme des Garçons Comme des Garsons 3 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2002, created by Mark Buxton. Comme des Garsons 3 opens with Chili, Mace, Mandarin, and Magnolia, settles into a heart of Angelica, Immortelle, Rose Oxide, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Comme des Garçons's Comme des Garsons 3 carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a properly divisive one. Some get an avant-garde, modern green masterpiece; others are left with 'piney armpits' or 'dirty ashtray'. If you like weird, wonderful, and a bit woody, it might be for you.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate performance makes it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The unique green and woody character also lends itself well to casual settings. It's too avant-garde and less conventional for traditional formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It kicks off with an unusual, almost 'metal herbs' blast of green basil and spicy chilli, uplifted by mandarin. As it settles, you're in for a complex heart where rose and jasmine mingle with the unique, slightly dusty sweetness of immortelle and a sharp pepperiness. The dry down is classic Comme des Garçons - an abstract, polished woodiness with cedar, sandalwood, and birch, underscored by smoky incense and earthy vetiver. It's a scent that morphs on skin, revealing unexpected facets.
