Comme des Garçons Scent Three: Sugi is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Antoine Maisondieu. Scent Three: Sugi opens with Cypress and Pepper, settles into a heart of Virginia Cedarwood and Iris, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Pine. Comme des Garçons's Scent Three: Sugi carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Sugi is a beautiful, airy woody-green scent, loved for its serene Japanese forest vibe. However, be warned: its notorious poor performance is a deal-breaker for many, turning a stunning fragrance into an expensive skin-scent. Try before you buy, and spray liberally.

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 Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it ideal for office wear and casual settings where a subtle presence is preferred. It's too fleeting for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport, but could work for a quiet, understated 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opening with a crisp, almost icy blast of cypress and pepper, Sugi immediately transports you to a cool, serene forest. The initial sharpness quickly mellows into a heart of refined Virginia cedarwood, softened by a delicate, almost powdery iris that lends an elegant, clean touch. The drydown settles into a subtle blend of earthy vetiver and fresh pine, creating an ethereal, minimalist woody aura that lingers close to the skin.
