Pharrell Williams Girl is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Antoine Lie and Christian Astuguevieille. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Pepper, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Girl: Statement

This Comme des Garçons collaboration is a divisive beast: some hail it as a cheap niche gem, a love-letter to violet and woods. Others find it a confused, synthetic mess. It's a proper either-you-get-it-or-you-don't situation.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it can work for casual or date settings without being overpowering. The unique, somewhat 'challenging' opening and woody, earthy drydown make it less suited for formal or office environments, where a more universally appealing scent is often preferred.

About

Opens with an unexpected sharp, peppery kick, softened by a clean, aromatic lavender and a hint of neroli. The heart reveals a powdery violet and iris, transitioning into a woody base of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, that's often described as earthy or even a bit smoky. It's an intriguing blend that morphs significantly as it dries down, from initial sharpness to a comforting, soft woodiness.
