Comme des Garçons Zero is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Fanny Bal. Zero opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose Oxide, Vetiver, and Varnish Accord, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Cashmeran. Comme des Garçons's Zero carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a divisive varnish accord that people either find brilliantly avant-garde or utterly unwearable. Don't blind buy, definitely test first.

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.

Office Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its 'clean' yet unusual character, make it suitable for casual wear or an office where you want to make a subtle, unconventional statement. The polarizing varnish note and intimate projection mean it's probably not the best choice for formal events where broader appeal is key.

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.

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

Zero opens with a sharp, almost industrial burst of bergamot and a distinct varnish accord, which some interpret as a bold, chemical edge. This initial jolt quickly softens into a complex heart where a green, subtly metallic rose oxide note intertwines with earthy vetiver. The dry down settles into a clean, modern woody musk, with cedar and cashmeran providing a soft, skin-like warmth that feels both natural and uniquely synthetic. It's an abstract, airy composition.
