Comme des Garçons Scent One: Hinoki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Scent One: Hinoki opens with Green Notes, Cypress, Pepper, and Camphor, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Cedar, Pine, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, Frankincense, and Juniper. Comme des Garçons's Scent One: Hinoki carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent for the true lovers of the outdoors, this woody-aromatic gem captures the essence of a serene forest walk, and for some, an unpleasant hamster cage.

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 Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its intimate sillage and clean, natural aroma make it suitable for casual wear or the office. However, its poor longevity and non-traditional scent profile make it less ideal for formal events or a lasting impression on a date.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Opens with a brisk, almost bracing hit of camphor and cypress, like a blast of cool, peppery forest air. This quickly settles into a deep, earthy heart of hinoki pine and cedar, evoking a damp, moss-covered woodland. The dry-down is subtle with a resinous frankincense and vetiver, giving a gentle, spiritual incense-like quality that lingers close to the skin.
