Comme des Garçons Odeur 71 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Martine Pallix. Odeur 71 opens with Pepper, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Mineral, Bay Leaf, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Woody, Oakmoss, and Fir Resin. Comme des Garçons's Odeur 71 carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent; some call it a masterpiece of avant-garde perfumery, others reckon it's just burning plastic or cheap hand soap. If you want something undeniably unique and not for blending in, this might be your jam.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:

Its abstract and clean character makes it strangely wearable in an office, though it's certainly unconventional. It's more of a casual, conceptual scent than something suited for formal events or highly intimate dates, where its 'unhuman' scent profile might be divisive.

About

Odeur 71 takes you on a trip. It kicks off with a sharp, almost metallic greenness, like bamboo and hyacinth after a rain shower, but quickly morphs into something far more abstract. Think printer ink and warm electronics, all underpinned by earthy oakmoss and a hint of spiritual incense. It's a clean, cold, yet strangely compelling experience.
