Comme des Garçons Black

Opens with a cold, industrial jolt — rubber and ink sitting on top of sharp aldehydic brightness, more laboratory than garden. The heart settles into something more wearable as cedar and sandalwood push through, softening the chemical edge without erasing it. Dry-down is quiet and close-wearing, a warm musky woodsmoke that stays near the skin with modest sillage. Projection is restrained throughout; this rewards proximity rather than announcing itself across a room — A fall and winter fragrance for someone who finds conventional sophistication boring.
