Comme des Garçons Odeur 53 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1998, created by Martine Pallix. Odeur 53 settles into a heart of Mineral and Clay. Comme des Garçons's Odeur 53 carries a Favourite verdict, a metallic-led wear.

This isn't a perfume, it's an experience. Massively divisive and not for everyone, Odeur 53 is a bizarre, abstract, and utterly unique anti-fragrance that demands an open mind. You'll either adore its metallic, mineral coolness or wonder why you're sniffing an old computer.

About

Odeur 53 conjures the stark, unperfume-like aroma of inorganic elements. Expect a crisp, almost electric metallic tang overlaying raw, earthy clay and the dry, warm dustiness of sand. It's a clean that isn't fresh in the traditional sense, more akin to ozone before a storm or the subtle scent of warm electronics. Notes of stone and mineral provide a cool, abstract backbone.
